*Bike Pod Pro wheel fitting amendments

Please note that all Pods made after April 2011 feature a different wheel fitting mechanism to the original design.

In all new Pods bike wheels are held in place via re-usable zip ties, rather than using quick releases. This new feature means that each wheel is attached at four points, rather than one.

Fitting instructions:

Simply remove quick releases from your wheels and zip tie the wheels in place. Please note the cassette on your wheel wheel should face outwards. Please part deflate your tyres as required.
 
The zip ties supplied are easily adjustable and can be removed without tools.
