I purchased one of these a while back. After the first use, I noticed roughness and slack in the movement. Anyone else had this trouble?

It's was cool for what it is but it does have a little roughness to it though. Will be upgrading soon

I've used mine a few times with no problems. I have two trainers, both different brands, and I use the other one more, so this trainer doesn't get much use. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Mine goes then stops like the belt is slipping. Tried adjusting but did no good. Any ideas? Only used three times now.

We bought one for Christmas and it started doing that. We found that the chain is coming off - but we couldn't tell until we took the chain guard off. Apparently the tension spring doesn't hold strong enough when the terrain is rough. We put it back on a couple of times and have since wrapped a wire around the tension rod to hold it. It now works perfectly!

I did not have this experience. I would contact seller or promptly arrange for a return. Good luck. Sorry you are having trouble. It is an awesome machine!

Hi, I actually bought it for my friend and he had the same problem. He was quite happy with it. But i havent used it personally so i can't make a more specific comment.

I've had three and never had that problem. Mine all seem very tight and well crafted. Sounds like you got a defective one.

I have not found anything wrong with mine. I use it every night while at work and when I do yard work and exercise and love it. I had the one right below this one for 2 years and completely wore it out.

Yes! I had the same experience. I thought about contacting the manufacturer, but wondered if mine was just a fluke. It may be because it's unprocessed? It's almost like sand.

No, that seemed to be ok. It should feel stiff. With use it should get easier to use.

Sounds like a problem with the tension cable. there is a black knob under the stepper, play around with it to see if it helps.

I get the same "slop". Barely moves a fraction of a millimeter but enough to be annoying. It appears that many have this problem when I do a search. Seems many are coming up with clever ways to fix this...many are adding a thin piece of rubber to tighten everything up.

I have had this problem also.. could also be why my handle recently came off from the constant up and down. Mine never went down all the wsy just a notch or 2

No. I have not had any problems with mine. It's a great tool and I use mine for fabric used for rug weaving.

Mine has warped at the ends. Not safe without adding material at the ends so it doesn't trap a foot and chop it off. I have five of them and they all have done the same with warping. My bottom tray is not staying in place either. the track at the bottom doesn't hold it in place. Will be looking at a different brand.

Mine worked well for over a year. I like it and use it a lot but the squeak is starting to become unbearable. I've been using WD40 and it will help for a while. Also, it doesn't squeak immediately most times but only after I've been on it for a while. I'll try tighten the screws again and possibly try silicone as well.

I feel a little drive train roughness in my bike, as though the chain, chainring and flywheel cog are not in perfect alignment. I haven't had mine all that long and I think it will probably wear in some, but it might not and I guess you could describe that as a slight vibration in the handlebars when spinning under load. I really only noticed it the first time I rode the bike and since then I don't really notice it, so mine isn't too bad.
