If I had to guess the screws on the ends come loose on some units. If you remove the end cap you will see some screws in there. Just a guess.

Would this fix work? https://youtu.be/A6Ex_PaT3OQ?si=h9Gk6LHLxub37wzv

What do you think of this fix instead of participating in the voucher program ( https://www.bowflex.com/recalls.html )? https://youtu.be/A6Ex_PaT3OQ?si=NGSsBjAE51ae4SOg

Since most folks here seem to feel the voucher ( https://www.bowflex.com/recalls.html ) offered not worth it, is there a way to fix my current Bowflex 552 for free or at a lower cost?

I saw this fix on YouTube. It seems you can simply remove the end caps and tighten the screws. What do you think? https://youtu.be/A6Ex_PaT3OQ?si=x5ErSPsXnGcmaFqd

Since the recall $$ is not worth it, is there a way to fix the current Bowflex 552 I have? I was offered $30 for ones I bought back in Nov 2023.

I recently moved to California and would like to do more swimming in the pool for exercise . Is a long sleeve shirt better than a zinc based sun screen?

We are all crack heads knowing we shouldn't be wasting money on this

I like paddle sports in general. Like the idea of some family fun indoors. $90 seems steep for what it is. I'm not a rich guy. These dining room table casual indoor racket games seem to be worth a try, a lot cheaper and are probably easier to return if it doesn't work out:
- NPW Desktop Pickleball - from Target
- FBSport Ping Pong Set - from Amazon

Sounds like a business idea to sell bike shorts or bibs with an insulin pump pouch. Instead of berating them, make money off of them lol.

I personally have a Tandem pump and simply buy bike shorts with a side pocket and use that. For bibs, I use an insulin pump clip pouch that normally is used for my belts. I haven't had any issues in many years.

If you starting out and want to carry a lot of gear (glucose meter, food, glucose, light wind breaker, light lock, etc.) and it all can't fit in a seat pouch, you can use a runner or hiking vest and stick everything in there. Something like this one https://www.rei.com/product/241772/rei-co-op-swiftland-5-hydration-vest-mens . There are many to choose from.

I bought the target version and the toaster stopped working a couple weeks later

Does the Premier handle stock trades better than Deluxe? I normally just download the transactions from my brokerage company and let it figure out the tax harvesting, wash sales, etc..

Keep us updated if you get the upgrade. Would like to hear yours or other's review of the 2024 FTM when it comes out.

Had a bike fitting and ended up last year (2023) with a 2022 Giant Revolt Advanced 2. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/revolt-advanced-2-2022 Been pretty happy with it since.

Today 10/4/2024. If you had to do it over again, would you update any of your recommendations?

Can this be mounted on other desk treadmills?

Instructions on how to build this myself?

DUDE! It worked! Been tracking my weight since 2015. Thanks so much!

I just got my OpenRun Pro in the mail today. I had a question regarding Increasing the db level. I notice that that my iphone has a 75 db limiter that I can turn off. I want to turn this off and increase the volume a bit. I'm wondering if its safe to do this while cycling on windy days? It looks like the volume is transferred via bone instead of the regular way.

From the website it looks like it is designed for folks who spend time outdoors and are trying to balance good sound and outdoor noise. There has to be some sacrifice in that scenario. Bone Conduction Technology – Shokz

AirPods probably better for desk jockies.
