Thanks Pendarvii. I would have missed this if it wasn't for your post. They cylindrical parts are used in Step 9, even though the assembly guide makes no reference to it. They go inside the left & right pedal arm assemblies, where they connect to the lower left and right handlebar assemblies. As Pendarvii said, the carriage bolts will go through them.

P. Hwang is correct. The parts are shown on page three (3) of the assembly guide, but were left out of the instructions and the parts list. If the instructions had been included, the correct photograph would have been on page 15 of the instructions in figure A-9. The particular step would have been illustrated by number 29 in the schematic, with the metal parts going through part 7, and held in place by the bolt and nut illustrated in 29.

These are for the arm assembly. I don't have my instructions handy so can't tell you actual part names or assembly steps, but the carriage bolts go through them. So if you look at the step in your manual where the carriage bolts are used, you should be able to see where to use the bushings.

I have the same additional parts and have used the elliptical (w/out problems) even though I have not put the parts on the machine. What exactly do these parts do, and why would the machine function normally without them if they are necessary (perhaps over time you'd have problems...)?

I make sure to place lube on the track and I sprayed WD40 were the "pedals" can be adjusted. I also took the plastic covering off were the arms attach and realized it was the source of some of the noise. I WD40'd that area and replaced the covers. The noise or grinding sound stopped. Occassionally I still spray WD40 on the pedals. Ultimately you can call in the warranty folks for some troubleshooting if it is still a problem for you. I have had my elliptical for over a year and aside from the occassional noise it gets a lot of use!

I just chatted with an operator on the Bellapulse website. She said that in a few weeks, they will be offering the option to order replacement brush heads. So if they do, maybe Amazon will offer them too. Hope this helps.

Oh shoot, i meant to post another question, not answer yours, sorry. But i can tell you it is the right one.I don't have cut and paste ability. My question:I have the xv-21 and love it...loved the brush to death in about a year with heavy use... I thought a spare brush came with the robot in original shipment, but can't find it. Am I mistaken? I need to buy this soon if so. In fact, since I'll need another in future I might as all buy it now in case noone answers this in time.

Mr. Loehrer, I could not help you here for I have not experience the replacing of the machine internal brush. But you might ask the machine manufacture: SKY ENTERPRISE . Wish I could be more helpful in finding answer to your question. Good luck, thank you

The elliptical is shipped partially constructed. The pedals, arms and onboard module require assembly. The assembly of these parts require two people.

Cool news....I actually have a jar of red wheel bearing grease in front of me...heading for he basement and the brand new Schwinn 430! I will try loosening the bolts. The squeaking on mine started after 8 minutes and I have already doused it with WD-40. I hope the loosening of the bolts will fix the noise. I LOVE this machine. I also added cut out carpet pieces to the foot pedals to keep my shoes from making noise when they come off the pedals. The best part of this elliptical is the compact size and the sturdiness. I feel like I have made a good investment...even with the noise.

I received a message from Amazon suggesting I respond to your question because I had reviewed this blender. Actually, a spare gasket (if you mean that circular white/clear rubber band type thingie) was included with my blender. It didn't help because the blender itself does not work at all (so sound, no action). It was a gift so I don't know where to return it and an email to the manufacturer has not been answered. (I am guessing Amazon.com wishes they hadn't asked me to respond!!)

You need to buy a longer BB to account for it. I'm going through the same issue. What I haven't seen a comment on is how this affects the non-drive side. Would you notice it when pedaling, especally if you "clip-in". This chart gives you the symetrical equivalent - http://sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html . My 3T spindle would need a 130 symetrical BB.

Trying to find spare parts. I found this website, but most of it is in Italian. Sent them an email, but we'll see if they respond:http://www.ariete.net/

I wish I could help but you are in the same situation I was. My Code number didn't match anything for it was 18 years old. I studied the top and bottom of the part I needed and what I had. Said a prayer and took a gamble and it seems that all the center parts were about the same. My blender hums perfectly maybe a little louder but it works without replacing it. I am surprised that Cuisinart wasn't any help to either of us. TNT

When I ordered the cutting blade assembly. They didn't say I needed the O ring but a note beside it said. Most people order this O ring. So I did. I have a CC-8H model 1175. It has I think they called the container a Cleveland shape or type (shaped like a 4 leaf clover and tapered smaller at the bottom than the top. They seem to be the same or close on all the old Waring's. However! I still have the O ring and cannot find anywhere that it could fit on my blender and there is none on it and it was new when we bought it.

I think you could assemble it yourself until you get to the part where you hook up the 2 handles/arms where your hands go and which move forward and backward as you exercise on the machine. Those 2 handles/arms are heavy and more importantly awkward in size and how they are attached to the machine. I would think you'd need the assistance of someone else to hold the handles/arms steady as you fasten them onto the elliptical. Hope that answered your question.

oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive. It's on the way, should I just immediately send it back and eat the shipping charge? I wouldn't be surprised that these are on sale now as Schwinn prob has fixed models out now. I am assuming that if I keep this bike it will crap out shortly. If I do keep it, should I immediately call for the new motor and then the control panel before even using it? Will the original motor work with the new panel? uggggh. not looking forward to this. Any chance we can convince you to put up a website with pics of the fixes?? ; ) oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive.

I bought the lifespan elliptical and was broken. I called and Amazon is sending the replacement right now. They said they would take back the broken one when they deliver the new one. I have not recieved the new one yet and the broken one is standing in my living room. From what they said the delivery will be next week. I will let you know if everything goes smoothly and I don't get charge for it.

I bought replacement brushes on Amazon several years ago. It was clear which ones to buy. Have not checked recently to see what they are offering.

I think I might have read about interference issues with older Shimano calipers. I've had 3 different bikes with Avid discs loaded with zero issues. The only issue you could possibly have would be interference of the tray and the caliper. Worst case, you could very slightly notch the tray where there was any interference (strong wire snips would probably be sufficient to clip the tray where necessary). The tray (especially at the fork mount point) really isn't structural, so this modification wouldn't affect the use of the bike mount. The copperhead is a great, inexpensive fork mount. I say go for it. I think I might have read about interference issues with older Shimano calipers. I've had 3 different bikes with Avid discs loaded with zero issues.
