in the description high inertia, direct drive gearing system adjusts resistance levels in continuous increments what is this how does it work

There is a red knob in front of the handle bar post that more or less applies a friction brake against the spinning wheel. Easy to adjust while riding and works well.

Very simple. There is a knob you tighten or loosen to create more or less resistance.
1248781
It is a hand break that you turn to either increase or decrease resistance.

the seat adjust's up and down. My son is 6'3 and he is fine on it. the resistance is a knob that you turn. I really like the bike.

Basically you're correct, it gives you 3 variable torque ranges to work with. This comes handy if you're say driving a bolt into an aluminum based material for instance, the lower settings reduces your torque level so you don't strip your threads or break the bolt heads with the shaft stuck in your work piece. The settings aren't there necessarily to save battery life. Remember the speed switch isn't a mechanical switch where gears are changed to reduce RPM, it's more like a shunted resistor network, Position 1 has a higher resistor in the circuit while position 3 would have the full power coming from the battery.

The resistance is produced by a magnetic mechanism in the unit. It's adjustable for resistance and built-in so there's nothing to calibrate, etc. If all else fails, just use your gears to increase the pedal resistance. I mounted it on a Brand-X (decent quality) bike purchased years ago at K-Mart. You do NOT have to change the rear axle.(they send you a replacement) Just bolt your bike into the stand and start exercising. Total elapsed time maybe 3 minutes once you get it unpacked and positioned. Very stable. .

The know on the shafts controls the resistance. The levels are not marked tho. I've spun the knob and it seems fairly sensitive so my guess would be that there are many levels.

It has low speed high torque and high speed low torque for the gear box. The amount of pressure you apply to the trigger would give you a variable speed in either gear.

You are correct about the three speed settings limiting the maximum rpm. Please note that the instructions state , "Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the switch and should be avoided.". The variable speed should just be used to start driving the fastener.

The adapter creates a freewheel single speed.It is not a fixed gear, the hub will still coast.

Variable speed trigger. Increases as your squeeze it. there is switch on top of it for low or high torque.

You can adjust the resistance by the amount of water that you add. There isn't a switch or lever, just the water level which can be adjusted. There's a mark on the tank above which you don't want to add any more water (maximum resistance, I suppose) but you can certainly add less.Also the faster you row, the more resistance you create.

Depends, IF used in conjunction with the pedals, answer is no. Resistance adjustment would apply only to the pedaling, while the handles are more or less free flowing. IF the handles are used only, resistance is in the handles. From what I have read, and experienced, this unit is pretty reliable and functional for the price.

The system does not have limit switches attached to it. There are various electronics companies (sparkfun, digikey, etc) that sell these. The mach3 software talks about these, and adding them into the control system. You may also want to look at the mach3 docs for setting the work envelope, which allows you to define the max size of the area in which the tool point can move.

you dont adjust the resistance on the cycleops. By shifting gears on your bike you adjust your resistance.

I'm using a cyclocross bike, but I'm guessing any kind of bike can be used. The resistance is generated magnetically that can be adjusted with a dial. You can also change resistance by changing gears on the bike.

No it doesn't. The gear train between the motor and the screwdriver shaft is a high reduction setup. I.e. the motor turns fast and the shaft turns slowly. Trying to twist the the screwdriver bit in either direct can be done but is fairly difficult as you are trying to spin a reduction gear in the opposite direction. In other words, trying to spin the motor and the gears at high speed meets with serious resistance. It's OK for little screws, tho', up to M3/6BA.

they are settings for the clutch mechanism. If you set it on one, the clutch breaks loose (disengages) with little torque - that is little pressure. Use the lower settings for delicate items - plastic, thin aluminum, decorative brass, etc. set at 10, you get the highest clutch/highest torque setting. Use this for hard woods, metals, etc. Hope this helps.

Definitely variable. Think of the speeds as gearing. Within that gearing you can control how fast or slow based on pull of the trigger from min to max allowed by that gearing.

I hope I answer the question you intended but my experience is that you just adjust the gears on your bike - It's simply resistance. Your bike will pitch forward slightly when it's on the stand. I hope this helps.
