Which set up easy to pull up? Other than the rope straight up, pulley wider apart, rope forming slight "V" shape or an "A" shape?

I'm not sure i understand your question, however it appears that you are asking which configuration would be best? There is only one configuration to this system, so there is no easy or hard way. From a physics perspective, it doesn't matter which way you pull on the loose end, the weight is essentially the same. The mechanical advantage is in the configuration of the rope, and the moving pulleys

Actually, I have all the reason to rope straight up is the easiest. If you have the pulley set to wide (wider than our object), it will take slightly more force to pull it up. The fact is you will be pulling 4 times the distance of vertical travel in exchange for using 1/4 of the force that is needed to pull. But besides properly place the pulley above, the easiest way to pull up the object of desire is to pull with one hand and put the object up with the other. I do it with my bike and it is rather easy. Perhaps you can ask for a second set of hands for help. Enjoy.

I didn't pull too hard but it didn't come apart easily. Good luck with your project.

Hi, My wife and I have been using the Total Trainer DLX-III for a couple of years now and love it. We've had no problems whatsoever with the pulleys, nor any other component of the unit. It's well built and durable. We actually ordered the TotalGym before we bought the Total Trainer and were very disappointed in its build quality and design. We promptly sent it back, and upon further research discovered the Total Trainer. Highly recommended! Good Luck.

I dont remember but it wont be perfect like the picture. I did use a pulley to strech it out

The easiest way is to pull the old one out and measure, if it was a similar system. If it was an old school pulley system that you're modernizing, then get some rope and lay it down along the proposed path, then measure. Maybe Teleflex has some more tips on their site

I've just grasped it firmly right next to the joins and pulled gently but firmly. I didn't pull hard but did do light tugging. I also will gently twist it while pulling it apart as that helps break any suction that might be holding it tight.

The string may have slipped off a pulley. The plastic cover pulls off so you can acces the pulleys.

The outside diameter of the pulley wheel is approx. 12 3/8". (edge to edge) The belt channel is approx. 1/2 " deep, and 1/2" wide at outside opening. It does take a V shaped belt. Hope that is of some help to you.

The crank requires less effort while the rope is much faster. The rope is fine if you can pull it back

It is a V-belt, length is difficult since its installed, but the sewing machine I have is 5" center to center for the pulleys with a .75" pulley and a roughly 3" pulley...

String is easy to pull. Mine has held up and it's been months. Love the product!

It has a clicker for a safety. If you take the safety off it will be very quiet. However a rope pulley would be quieter.

The trick is to pull down both hooks at the same time. Make sure the rope is in the center groove on all pulleys and pull down while letting out the rope. THis YouTube video might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyN4oJlCQpI

I think it is just a single pulley and if you want two you need to order 2. Been a while since I ordered it. Worth the price IMO. Well made

The pulleys are ropes on little wheels. I was a little disappointed because I was looking for something that is made of rubber and stretches and I thou pulleys were it but it wasn't. Plus it doesn't come with instructions. I bought the wrong product which was my fault. Later I found out what I was really looking for are Resistance Bands. I just didn't know at the time, that is what they are called. So I went on Amazon.com and ordered the ProSource Resistance bands and there are a few of them in the pack with different resistances. They are made of rubber hoses that stretch. I've been very satisfied with them. Exactly what I was looking for. The pulleys are ropes on little wheels.

You just have to pull on it to unfold it. Mine is stiff so you must pull hard.
