For full details of compatibility with other products, visit www.jetblackcycling.com/support.

Your VICTORY is compatible with all training applications including FulGaz, MyWhoosh, Rouvy, Sufferfest and TrainerRoad.

Your VICTORY includes a pre-installed Zwift Cog, compatible with most bikes and removes the inconvenience of changing cassettes. If you want to use a different cassette or freehub, you will need a cassette lockring tool and a chain whip to change to a compatible cassette for your bike. Your local bike shop can assist you.

The Victory is Cassette compatible. If you are wanting to install a Cassette, you will first need to remove the Z COG. First remove the drive side Axle adaptor holding the Zwift Cog in position. Then using a CHAIN WHIP and Cassette tool, remove the locking Ring. This will enable you to slide the Zwift cog of the Free hub supplied. You can now slide your 11 speed or 12 speed cassettes onto the Victory’s freehub body. If using a 10 speed, please use the spacer provided. For SRAM XDR users, you will need to purchase a XDR Freehub body from our website or provider. VICTORY does not support Campagnolo.

Before attaching a cassette, follow the installation instructions provided with your new cassette and use the recommended cassette spacer, if required. Secure the cassette tightly on the freehub. Once in place, re-install the drive side adapter that you removed in the first step and torque the adapter up to
6Nm. For more tips, visit www.jetblackcycling.com/support

Set Up Information

  1. Attach legs following the easy colour and logo placement.
  2. Place trainer on a flat, even surface where you plan on riding it
  3. Identify if you have a Quick release (old school) or Thru axle (Disc brakes) system.
  4. Insert appropriate axle adaptors
  5. Mount your Bike to the Trainer ensuring a secure fit.
  6. For disk brakes, place free brake guard into position
  7. Plug in, Power up and check LED is flashing Blue
  8. Install JetBlack Cycling and riding platform apps
  9. Power up Zwift, connect to the VICTORY & RIDE! Alternatively remove Zwift cog and install your cassette to use with other apps.

Your JetBlack VICTORY comes Zwift Ready straight out of the box, complete with the Zwift Cog preinstalled.

It is compatible with 8-12 speed gears and features a Zwift CLICK controller for seamless gear changes in the virtual cycling world.

  • First, match the colour legs with the underside colouring on the feet. Ensure you match LOGO to LOGO
  • Next, grab the nuts, washers, bolts, and the wrench that were included in the box. Put them in a bowl if you have one handy (bonus points for magnetic bowls) and attach the legs.
  • Tighten the bolts with the tool supplied. Do you see a thin line of colour on each leg, and matched up JetBlack logos? Great! That means the legs are in the correct position.
Jetblack Victory Assembly Instructions.png
  1. Before removing your rear wheel, use gears to shift to the smallest chain ring in front and midrange cog on the rear cassette.
  2. Move the derailleur aside, remove the rear wheel from your bike and set aside.

If removing Zwift Cog & replacing with preferred cassette, skip ahead to pages 11 &12 for removing the Zwift Cog to install Cassette.

WHAT KIND OF REAR WHEEL AXLE DO YOU HAVE?

The VICTORY trainer supports 130 & 135mm Quick Release configurations in addition to 142 & 148mm Thru Axle configurations.

Please follow the instructions below for your wheel type:

For quick release, Insert the quick release skewer that comes in the box.
Do this by unscrewing the end with the nut and taking one of the springs off. This is important and bears repeating. Take one of the springs off. To secure, feed the quick release skewer through the trainer from the non-drive side (opposite side to the Zwift Cog), reinstall the spring, thread the nut on, do not tighten the skewer just yet

Mounting The Bike On To Victory Using Quick Release

For thru axle, starting from the non-drive (opposite side to where the Zwift cog is) guide your thru axle adapter through the cog and trainer. Then, take the wrench and tighten the drive side adapter to “finger tight”. Do not over tighten this adapter because you could damage the bearings. If you have a torque wrench, the drive side adapter should be tightened to six newton-meters.

Mounting The Bike On To Victory Using Thru Axle

Line up the chain with the Zwift cog and lower your bike onto the cog as if you were lowering onto your wheel.

Give it a good jiggle to ensure the bike is secure. Turn the pedals. If you hear a ticking noise or any skipping from the chain, shift up or down to align your chain with theZwift Cog.

Assembling Victory Trainer.png

Follow the round instructions in the box.

Dial the Zwift Cog (two-part donut shaped dial) grey dial with numbers on it, clockwise to adjust the positioning of the chain. The dial is calibrated from 0-9 and can be continually rotated clockwise until you achieve the right position. You are trying to get your chain line as straight as possible.

If you are not able to turn your pedals, or your Zwift Cog or cassette is not moving when your bike is mounted on the VICTORY, it is your quick release skewer or drive side adapter is too tight. If there is a clicking noise, adjust your gears slightly and or turn the grey dial some more.

If you want to remove your Zwift Cog to use another riding application:

  • BLINKING BLUE = Showing trainer is searching for a Bluetooth Device to connect.
  • SOLID BLUE = Bluetooth is connected and the trainer is active and sending signals to your device.

TIP: The JetBlack VICTORY will only connect to one Bluetooth device at a time. Please ensure App is properly closed before trying to connect to a different training App.

CONNECTIVITY LIGHT (LED) DISPLAY USING ANT+

*DO NOT disconnect trainer or your device while the firmware is updating.

LED DISPLAY WHEN CONNECTED VIA WI-FI.
Flashing Green to Solid Green when connect via Wi-Fi. Once established, The Victory will automatically attach to Wi-Fi.

Now that your bike is mounted on your Victory Trainer, let’s get you connected. Grab the power cable included with your Victory, feed it underneath the rear leg of the trainer, and plug it into the power port. When the trainer turns on, the LED lights will cycle through red, blue, and green before entering pairing mode. This process takes less than 5 seconds.

When the LED flashes blue, your Victory is ready to pair with the JetBlack Training App or any other platform. If you haven’t already, download the JetBlack Trainer App from your phone’s app store. 

To connect your Victory Trainer:

  1. Open the JetBlack app.
  2. Select “Controllable Trainer.”

The app will search for available trainers. When your Victory is recognized, select it. The LED will turn solid blue once connected.

Next, use the JetBlack app to connect accessories like your heart rate monitor or Smart Turn Block to the Victory Trainer.

Your Victory includes a Bluetooth Device Bridge, allowing you to pair Bluetooth-compatible heart rate monitors and the JetBlack Smart Turn steering device, freeing up Bluetooth connections on your Apple TV.

Pro Tip: Make sure to fully close the JetBlack Trainer app before attempting to connect to Zwift or any other training app.

Note for Apple TV users: Apple TV only supports two Bluetooth connections, plus the remote. If you try to connect more than two devices, Zwift will show a “device limit” message. You can use the JetBlack Bluetooth Bridge or connect multiple devices, like Zwift Play controllers and other accessories, using the Zwift Companion app.

If you are getting inconsistent readings or ride feel when using BLE on Zwift or App.

For best ride feel and accuracy it is recommended to be connected to only ONE controllable device when training on VICTORY. For example if you are connected to the JetBlack App and also then connect to Zwift without closing the JetBlack App, your trainer will be DOUBLE CONNECTED and receiving signals from both apps to control the trainer. This can result in confused cadence and power readings and a lumpy, inconsistent ride feel under foot.

  1. To avoid this – CLOSE the JetBlack Smart Trainer App BEFORE connecting to Zwift.
  2. If connected to both and feeling these double connected symptoms, FIX this by disconnecting from JetBlack App and Zwift App and reconnecting just with Zwift. Your preferred app.

If you are getting ANT+ Dropouts.

  • Consistent drop out may occur due to the users ANT Dongle.  
  • If persistent, remove dongle and re insert. (this fix from Zwift Forum) Tested and approved with Jared’s testing.
  • Move Dongle within 1m of the trainer
  • Use USB / DONGLE extension and place next to the Victory.

UPDATING VICTORY FIRMWARE

Before your first ride, check and update your Victory firmware:

  1. Open the JetBlack App and go to “Settings.”
  2. Select “Firmware Update.”
  3. If an update is available, select “Update.”

Note: Firmware updates can only be done over Bluetooth.

CONNECTING TO WIFI

Your Victory is Wi-Fi enabled, offering a more stable connection with better signal coverage. Here’s how to connect:

  1. 1. In the JetBlack app, ensure Victory is connected.
  2. Go to “Settings” and select “Wi-Fi Connection.”
  3. Scan for available networks, select your network, enter your password, and hit OK.
  4. Once connected, a solid green LED will appear on your Victory Trainer.

Pro Tip: To use Wi-Fi on Zwift, select the Wi-Fi icon for Power Source, Resistance, and Cadence.

Your VICTORY firmware can be updated within the JetBlack Cycling app.

You can download the app on IOS and Android Devices, via the App Store and Google Play. Once you have set up your trainer, and powered it on, check for a firmware update and update if available.

Leave your device near the VICTORY until the update is complete. For more information on how to update your firmware, visit www.jetblackcycling.com/support

To start using your VICTORY with Zwift Cog & Click, download and install the Zwift app on a supported device.

There are two Zwift apps – one for the subscription & virtual riding platform. And the other is a companion app, which allows you to chat and interact with other riders, find events and much more.

Once your trainer is turned on and you have downloaded the Zwift app, follow the instructions on the screen to connect via Bluetooth® or ANT+.

Your Victory comes equipped with a USB-C connection. USB-C will enable users in troublesome WiFi areas to connect the Victory directly to their PC, MAC, Smart Phones and enabled tablets.

Direct connection can eliminate platform to hardware drop-outs caused by Bluetooth, ANT+ and WiFi inefficiencies. Check with your training platform if they support USB protocols. While USB-C connectivity is not fully enabled on many platforms today, future proofing Victory is important to JetBlack and our users. It also enables JetBlack to continue development with products that will utilize this technology in the near future.

  • While your VICTORY has auto-calibration after 3 seconds of free-wheeling,
    manual calibration is recommended especially when changes in the ambient
    temperature.
  • We recommend manual calibration of your VICTORY after unboxing, moving
    the unit or with the change in season.
  • Spin down calibration will ensure the trainer transmits the most accurate
    wattage numbers.
  • Before you start Zwifting or training on other apps, calibrate your VICTORY by
    performing a manual spin down calibration.
  • You can use the JetBlack Smart Trainer App or any app which supports a spin
    down.
  • Warm up your trainer for 10 minutes, ensuring that it reaches a temperature
    like that of a typical training session before proceeding with a spin down.
  • To perform spin down, download the JetBlack Smart Trainer and select SPIN
    DOWN.
  • Open the Zwift Click box and remove all the items from inside.
  • Place the Zwift Click onto the smooth side of the bar mount—the rubber disc.
  • Place the Zwift Click and bar mount on your preferred location on your
    handlebars.

We have supplied a Disk Brake Block and recommend you install this into the rear brake calliper prior to riding your bike on the trainer. This keeps the brake pad spaced correctly to ensure your brakes are aligned when you reinstall the rear wheel.

Victory User Manual With Disk Block.jpg

FAQs

The VICTORY disk generates a small amount of heat during operation, which is normal. Allow it to cool down after use to prevent overheating.

Lower your bike frame onto the VICTORY while pushing the derailleur backward and aligning the chain with the Zwift Cog before tightening the skewer.

Please only use the provided power brick or an after-market power block that meets the following specifications to avoid damage to your trainer.

Power Brick Specifications:
INPUT: 100-240V~50/60Hz 1.5A
OUTPUT: +19.0V-4.74A, 90.06W

We do not recommend the use of E-Bikes on the Victory trainer. For those E-Bikes with torque sensor mounted on the rear wheel, using the bike without the wheel mounted could potentially affect the relationship between the torque sensor and control system. If you choose to use your E-Bike on the Victory trainer, consulting your manufacturer beforehand for further guidance.

At any stage during your ride, when you stop pedalling for 3 secs or more the trainer will automatically calibrate itself. We see advantages at performing an auto calibration when your unit is warmed up (after 10mins of riding, or when convenient)

No longer do you need to exit the session to perform a manual spin down within the App, the VICTORY will automatically do it for you. We do suggest every few rides to warm the trainer up, when up to speed stop pedalling until the trainer comes to a complete stop helping the trainer to complete a gold standard Auto calibration.

Advantages

  • No need to exit session for spin down calibration
  • No longer will you get dropped from the bunch to perform a calibration
  • Keeps the trainer accurate on longer harder rides
  • So easy to do!

It is recommended to conduct a Spin Down calibration after unboxing your trainer before initial use, after relocating or transporting the trainer, and with the changing seasons to account for ambient temperature fluctuations.
