This is an indoor studio bike. I’m just going to
tell you some basic tips how to set the machine, how to look after
it, and
how to avoid some injuries.
In this particular bike there is a problem with
pedaling. When I
start pedaling the front wheel starts turning and gets lots of
movement. This means that even when I stop pedaling the pedals
continue to rotate. There is no clutch. Some people like to come out
of saddle and start working on the machine really hard just to give
it the most effort. However, it can become really problematic if
something becomes loose.
There are couple of things you need to check.
Just make sure they are nice and tight. The first one is seat. There
are two adjustments here. The one that is right under the seat makes
it move forwards and backwards. It has to be nice and tight. In case
of this spin bike, you have this lever,
which you can pull down and tighten up a bit. Just to make sure it’s
nice and secure.
There are also a couple of bolts underneath the
seat. You may need to tighten them up a bit every now and then. You
may use a spanner for that. Usually it goes with the machine or you
can use your own one. It’s very easy to do. You just need to make
sure that the ear is nice and level. Just put it in the position
which feels appropriate for you. And tighten the bolts up to ensure
that the seat is nice and won’t rotate.
There is one more seat adjustment on this bike.
When you unscrew this handle,
and pull it you will be able to change the height of the seat. Just
set up the necessary height and.
make sure the pop pin clicks in. There’s a little peg which goes
into a hole on the side tee and you will hear when it goes in. After
that, you can
just tighten that knob up and that’s all nice and tight.
We have a similar arrangement here on the
handlebars. , You have the handlebar rake. It has the similar kind of
ratchet to the seat.,
So you can put it into the position which is comfortable for you.
Once it’s placed make sure it’s nice and tight. Finally, we’ve
got this adjustment here. When you unscrew and pull it you can change
the height of the handlebars. When you hear that pop pin click into
the hole you know it’s engaged.
Then you just tighten it up. Now your handlebars are nice and tight.
All of that means that when you come to use the bike now you’re
going to be nice and safe then you’re not going to have any
injuries.
If you see anything worn during this process, you
can find replacement spin bike parts here
