COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
ARE THE SOUNDS MY Indoor Cycle MAKES NORMAL?
Our Indoor Cycles are some of the quietest available because they use 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 BELT LAST?
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. You should not have to replace
the 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.
