Problems with Cyclotron Mag II trainer

[liepies]

Hi
 
I bought this trainer but I need some help.

I set this up without any problems (I hope). [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]The problem is that it feels as is there is almost no resistance when using it.[/COLOR] It has 5 or 6 different resistance settings, but when I switch between them, I can hardly feel the difference.
 
I am sure that this is not the way it is supposed to be. Can somebody please tell me if I am just missing something or if I should just pack up the whole thing and make the trip back to the store.
 
Thanks

I have never used that trainer in particular, so I could be wrong, but I would just try turning the black knob under the resistance unit. This should move the whole unit closer to your tire, thereby creating more resistance. If turning that knob fails to move the resistance unit, then you probably didn't assemble it correctly.
