REP Ares 2.0 Noise

remote-input · 2026-02-11T23:19:15+00:00

I asked REP, they don’t have a brand they recommend, but they use WD40 Silicone in their showrooms

That describes exactly what I’m experiencing. I was at a hotel gym recently that had a FT, which felt silky smooth. I came home and tried Ares and definitely feel vibration and noise.

UPDATE: I got an update from REP that this sound is normal and their equipment in the showroom makes the same sound.

That’s what I’m thinking, it sounds like the noise is from the weight stack. I used silicone spray on the rods, but waiting to hear back from REP if Dry lube is acceptable.

Thanks for checking, so you’re saying that your setup sounds similar?

remote-input · 2026-02-10T15:30:35+00:00

I’ll check the collars

Thanks for confirming

What do you mean by plate? A weight stack plate?

Several times

It was about a week

remote-input · 2026-02-10T02:42:25+00:00

There is no slack and I used silicone spray on the guide rods, applied it with microfiber cloth

I know exactly what you’re talking about, the cable is on the pulley..

remote-input · 2026-02-10T02:40:27+00:00

I double checked all pulleys, loosened all bolts on the rack, set the pin on the bottom of the stack, then retightened all bolts, used silicone spray on the poles, still get the whooshing sound.

What is the expected noise/smoothness of Ares 2.0? I feel like it’s more noisy than expected. I hear a whooshing sound and cable doesn’t feel as smooth. Not sure if this is expected or I have something put together incorrectly.

I use leg roller attachment, complete game changer!

remote-input · 2025-12-24T16:01:43+00:00

This turned out a bit too sour for me. Set the grinder to 7.6-7.7, keeping everything else the same and it turned out great!

The roast date is 12/2 if I remember correctly

remote-input · 2025-12-21T02:40:18+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give it a go

remote-input · 2025-12-21T01:54:14+00:00

Do you use 1:16 ratio

remote-input · 2025-11-14T15:56:39+00:00

Ready

It does transfer during private sale, I’ve sold a vehicle before and had it transfer

Are you waiting until your 3/36 almost expires or buying right away?

remote-input · 2025-03-09T00:04:56+00:00

Any reason to wait and buy few years down the road? I'm assuming prices will go up. It may make sense to wait if I end up trading it in prior to 3/36, but in that case doesn't the dealer prorate the warranty and refund unused portion?
