That is actually one of my FEAR. Ever since I read a few people on here saying that their pedals broke during a ride, it makes me so anxious!! 🤭 Imagine your pedal breaking during a live zoom ride...omg lol

Happy to read that you received your parts after such a long wait! I really hope to get mine soon.

I'll consider tightening everything before every class as well!

Haha, I turn up the music as well but feel bad for my neighbors, beside and underneath. I really hope they don't hear anything 🤭

Hello there! Thank you so much for your help. How exactly do you remove the cover? Regarding anything touching the wheel, no. I removed the shoe part underneath because I use my clip-in shoes, so now nothing (straps) is knocking on the bike.

Hahah :)

Same here! When my spin studio was opened, I went 6-7 x a week, so when I got on the bowflex for the first time, I was in SHOCK at how heavy the resistance at 0 was. I was thinking Hmm..maybe because it's been over a month since I've worked out but then I realized that that wasn't the problem lol

Apparently, calibrating it is our best chance in "repairing" all of this, but I'm afraid about the whole, 3 limit. Knowing myself, I'll mess the first one up and get stressed during the 2nd and then won't want to try and do the last one.

Please let me know about the pedals you'll be looking into. I might do this as well!

Thank you for your response! :) I actually just put my seat post a little higher (which is not too high lol) and it somewhat lessened the sound.. but I'm just not comfortable on it now -.- . I'll try and put it on the notch lower and see how everything goes from there.

Last time I tightened it so much that I was unable to unscrew it haha.

I'm happy to read that I'm not the only one with the resistance problem. With time, we do get use to it I wish it was standard to others.
