COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
ARE THE SOUNDS MY INDOOR CYCLE MAKES NORMAL?
Our Indoor Cycles are some of the quietest available because they use chain/belt drives and cantilever brake resistance.
We use the highest grade bearings and chains/belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is
so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans,
friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our Indoor Cycles. These mechanical noises, which may or
may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning
flywheel. All bearings, chains/belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the
casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal
expansion of the parts.
WHY IS THE INDOOR CYCLE I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in
your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a
heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will
be more reflected noise.
HOW LONG WILL THE CHAIN/BELT LAST?
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. You should not have to
replace the chain/belt as long as you have the Indoor Cycle.
CAN I MOVE THE INDOOR CYCLE EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?
Your Indoor Cycle has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please follow the MOVING THE
INDOOR CYCLE section to transport your Indoor Cycle. It is important that you place your Indoor Cycle in a comfortable
and inviting room. Your Indoor Cycle is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their Indoor Cycles
facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your Indoor Cycle in an unfinished basement. To make
exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Indoor Cycle should be in a comfortable setting.
