I
have an exercise bike here. Today I am going to show you how to get
rid of one very common problem for this kind of machines. This is a
wobbly seat. And this problem is very easy to fix.
First,
let’s check the seat itself. I am going to take it off and show you
what’s underneath it. In this particular seat we have three fixings
here. In this case, the whole cushion sits on this plate. So make
sure that all the fixings are nice and tight.
Just
use the spanner to tighten the loose fixings. You may use the spanner
that came with your machine or one from your own toolkit. Either one
will do the job well. One fixing here needs tightening.
The
others are nice and tight. So I can place the seat back in its place.
This
is actually a slide to adjust the seat forward and back and it’s
held in position with this tag here, which is a screw. Make sure
that’s nice and tight.
Once
you place it in the position you want you can tighten it up.
It’s
also got a ratchet on this, which is quite handy. Because if you
wanted it in the forward position, for example there, you won’t be
able to tighten it up. Because the seat stem gets in the way. In
this case, pull down on the lever and you can rotate it back and then
it latches backup and engages. And then you can tighten it just like
that makes the top bit nice and tight.
However,
it’s still a little bit wobbly so there are other places we need to
look. Let’s take a look at the height adjuster. We have the
instruction where to turn to loosen it . A couple of turns to loosen
it, pull it that withdraws a pin and I can set the height to what I
want to set it. Like this, for example, and just make sure that the
pin goes in. Just listen to the clicking sound. You know that the pin
is in the hole, so tighten it up. Now everything is nice and tight.
