Anyone ever had a bar loosen? Sometimes my bar makes noises that sound like it's loosening of the actual bar moves a bit during a killing pull up...

No, mabey the bolts need a little tightening. If they continue to come loose, you could use some loctite on the threads of the bolt.

Mine are loose, too, which creates an unacceptable instability. For such a highly-rated product that otherwise seems pretty solid, this loose connection is really troublesome and unacceptable. They should offer alternative bolts and/or washers to ensure a more snug and professional fit. After all, this is a component that bears weight on each of the different exercises possible.

Sounds like the tension knob or cable that controls it may be broken, when i turn my tension knob to increase tension I feel it even if I only move it from 1 to 2.

mine does the same thing after every 5 shots or so, then I got to release the slide to slide it again. I think it has something to do with the little latch on the side, hopefully someone will give us a definite answer.

Use the safety brackets that come with the bar. I didn't at first, and after some fast pullups, where I was slowly twisting the wrong direction with each pull, it slipped out.

I do muscle ups and the pull up bar has yet to tip over. It sways but holds firm. David

Mine works fine, but I did need to adjust the screws that tighten and loosen the mechanism that slides on the vertical rails. I have no issues with racking the bar or with play and tilting.

Year and a half late to answer, but it might still help someone else...Mine squeaked. Took forever to find the cause. Was the connection on the center pole below/between the pedals, where the front and rear section connect. I sprayed the heck out of it with wd40 and tightened the crap out the 2 or 3 bolts that connect that area. Problem solved. SOUNDED like it was coming from the joints on the handles, but it was not. The torque from usage is what makes it squeak.

Yes, I have this attached to my pullup bar (one that is not screwed or bolted to the doorframe, but that hangs on the doorframe) and have had no issues with it. Just make sure that the direction you are exerting your force is in the direction that will push the supports into the doorframe instead of rotating the pullup bar away...if that makes sense.

I'd say it's a defective unit. If you can't tighten it up, I'd get another one. Both mine are tight and work great.

I never had that problem. Might need to send back or try to bend the fastener to a slightly less round. Mine holds well shut until pulled open. Good luck.

We didn't have that problem. Sounds likes yours is too tight. Check to see if you can loosen the joint.

Seems to be doing OK.Shortly after starting to use it frequently, a creaking type sound started to come from somewhere inside the unit. It corresponds to the movement of the feet/arm attachments and is worse the higher the resistance is set. It is also made worse by putting more pressure on the arm attachments.It's not really loud, but enough to be somewhat annoying.Someday I'm going to take the cover off and try to isolate where the noise is coming from ... it sort of sounds like the bearings, and it's possible some lubrication might quiet it down.

Adding my situation, had the dreaded squeaking on the left pedal, confirmed it was the rubber wheel against the rail bar. Tried all the solutions, loosening the arm nut, lubrication, but nothing worked. The noise got worse, and now the right side is making noises too. Drives me furious and kills my mood during exercise.

Hmm. It seemed like mine loosened up once it was a little warm. I'm not sure though. Did you ask the distributor for feedback?

Sometimes you have to push a little harder than you would think...you should hear kind of a "pop" as it snaps into place. I was afraid of breaking it the first few times until I got used to pushing that hard. :)

I just bought one. Mines making the grinding sound as well when i let off the trigger.
