Book Holder for 7 Series There are several treadmill bookholders on the market but I didn't want to buy one and then have it not work. Does anyone know of a bookholder that would fit the Bowflex treadmill 7 series? I see that someone else asked the same question but got no response. Does that mean that there isn't one out there that will fit? Please help.

Yes I've used it with both large paperbacks and hardcover books, and it's word fine. I'm glad I bought the book holder, I use it on the couch, in bed and in the car.

I see the Schwinn Book Stand available here:http://www.bowflexcatalog.com/bowflex_catalog/products/accessories/machineaccessories/prdcd~90710/Schwinn+Airdyne+Reading+Stand.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302040886&adID;=DOFG2CFEED1&gotoproduct;=1&sku;=90710&pid;=search

I asked my son (whom the stand was purchased for), and I am sorry to report that he does not think your book will stay on the stand. I used one of my old college math books as an example for him to judge by, so I would suggest looking for another music stand or finding some way to attach an extension to the lip in order to make it wider. Otherwise, the stand is very sturdy and has performed well over the last year. It easily collapses for transport and the moving components haven't worn out. I think it would definitely support the weight of your textbooks; the width of the lip is the only obstacle. Hope this helps!

I just received the Smooth Fitness 565i two weeks ago, and I am having the same problem as your wife. The book holder is too far away and at too flat of an angle for me to be able to read. The book holder was an important feature for me, but it is useless. The Smooth Fitness people told me that this is a brand new model. The console has been re-designed so that it has a lower profile and extends out more. I did not see any reports of people having problems reading on the previous model, so I am guessing that the new model has the book holder further away from the individual. Please let me know what you find out about a book holder for this treadmill. I just received the Smooth Fitness 565i two weeks ago, and I am having the same problem as your wife.

As Kevin Bice said, any bench that fits you pretty much works. I personally have the Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BH7CB2/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1), which is very nice. However, for incline/decline the seat remains in the flat position. I have had no problem so far doing incline with the seat in the flat position, but decline by be a little trickier depending on your height.

I'm sorry, but I don't know which treadmills it will fit. It fit my old Proforma perfectly. It is that little red plastic piece that goes into the machine.

Hadn't thought of that one. Tried it with a couple of different sized books and it holds them, but not well. The tab at the bottom that holds the iPads isn't big or wide enough to keep the book from wobbling or falling over backwards. It can be used with a book, but it aggravating...hope that helps.

Sorry Gail, I did purchase this item but did not open it and sent it back. I read a review after ordering it describing the dimensions of the book holder and realized that it would not fit my exercise bike. It's the only item of around a hundred that I've purchased from Amazon that I've sent back.Sorry I'm not much help. Oh, my bike is a HealthRider H10 X if that helps. Gene

I don't have that treadmill anymore, so I can't measure it. However it was rather large and the holder worked very well. I still have it and plan to use it on the treadmill where I now live.

There is an item that Amazon sells that states it is for a treadmill - but one of the photo's shows it being using on an incumbent bike SurfShelf Treadmill Desk: Laptop and iPad Holder

Glad to help, not sure how I started but ended up here at a Schwinn page with this URL that has an exhaustive list of products by category. Here is what you need though: http://www.schwinnfitness.com/schwinn_fitness_us/customerservice/manualsen.jsp and don't worry if this link is not up to date, it should at the very least get you to categories of products that are up to date now compared to the link I provided and bookmarked over a year ago. Schwinn changes their site over time, but I just tested the URL I provided and found the category for recumbent bikes and then re-found the manual. In fact just tested it before posting so I know it is very close. Also, I had bookmarked a site or two from their Canada site which I must have been led to by a google search and this works as well: http://www.schwinnfitness.ca/schwinn_fitness_ca/customerservice/manuals.jsp The KEY here is these 2 sites are FREE sources of manuals, so do NOT sucker for one of those sites that sells other companies products because these for profit companies have such a presence when we do our searches now that we forget sometimes that real companies like Schwinn do have Support pages too. And by the way I noticed when I clicked on the download link tonight - the URL was identical to the one I bookmarked in Chrome well over a year ago, and viola I was presented with my Owners Manual in PDF format. So u can try this direct link too and save some steps although I would say the 2 previous URL's are safer bets to ensure you have an exact product and year match. http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/AM_OM/Schwinn/SCH.220.MY12.AM-OM.EN.pdf Good luck, md

I am considering purchasing this - SurfShelf Treadmill Desk: Laptop and iPad Holder - for that purpose but not sure if it'll work or not. Seems like an area someone should invest in, heh.

Hi David, I happen to be at the library at the moment and just tried to support a 2600 page law textbook and it is perfectly supported by the base. Now in the interest of time I am not able to find a book that's exactly 2700 pages however there is still space left (with the clear hooks facing outward) to accept a book of that size. I also tried to mount another book that is way heavier than this law book and it handled the weight just fine. Oh and both books were hard back (spine), not paperback. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure of any certain brand of treadmill, but the top part that hangs over the treadmill is 2 5/8 inches deep. It hangs perfectly on mine...hope this helps :)

I'm considering a Bowflex, and have the same issue. Do you think it's possible to tilt the machine back, insert the vertical beam, then return it to a vertical position and screw the parts together? Thanks.
