Do the handlebars ever start to get wiggly. If so how can you fix it?

yes they get wiggly in about 5 days. you would have to get a whole new compression set, clamp, and a new fork that would fit the scooter. that could cost up to about 150 dollars.

Yes. That's what I do. It does it all. I mounted to a post tho so not 100% your handle bars will clear (if mounted to a wall). I have a support post floor to rafters (4x4) that mine is lag bolted into. Measure your bars center of stem to end to make sure the mount is long enough to accommodate...

I have heard of this problem before from other buyers. I have not had this problem. I would call Schwinn and ask them.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

Its really hard, you really have to force it. Just make sure you've got the handle bars facing the right way or it won't work, or it may break.

I just put my bike on crooked using the frame, but it would no doubt be better and more stable if I got a cross-bar adapter such as the Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adapter which is one of the less expensive of such bars available on Amazon. May be I'll order one, myself :)!

I did not encounter this issue on my Canondale Synapse. What i DID however find and you should be aware of is that when "standing" and pedaling it interferes greatly by rubbing against your knees and just making it awkward. I took mine off since I do a lot of hilly rides.

Hi Anna, Thank you for contacting us! In response to your inquiry, anytime you are using the handlebar *in-between* the top and bottom height settings, you must tighten the clamp in a particular manner: 1) First, unlatch the handlebar clamp 2) Next, raise to desired height 3) Tighten clamp with No. 5 Allen Key **before** closing latch 4) Finish by closing handlebar latch-- this should be somewhat difficult if the appropriate amount of handlebar tension is achieved Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help-- we have a toll-free telephone number, 888-236-5657, and are open Mon-Fri from 9am to 5pm Eastern Standard Time (EST). Cheers!

None. However I do have to readjust the position periodically so I may spin the rear wheel without the arms on the stand touching spokes or gears. On my friend's bike he didn't have to worry about this but because of the shape of my specialized I experienced this.

Yes, it does a bit on the bumpy streets I ride on, but if you put some tape as buffer on the handle bar, it might prevent it from slopping. I haven't done it because it doesn't bother me that much. Maybe I just need to tighten the velcro more.

I've had no problems with noise or wobble as yet. I've had the bike for around 6 months.

Forgot to mention....I adjusted my seat and handlebars, and had Ace Hardware attach some brakes on the upper part of the handlebars as well as to make it easier to use the brakes when sitting upright. It is also a good idea to have Ace or someone else qualified to tune it after assembly.

We actually have had the same problem. After about 4 minutes, it was terrible!! I read someone else's post which said that he was having the same problem and realized that he was very picky about making sure that everything was tight, so he loosened the screws a bit on the handle bars a quarter turn each until the squeek disappeared. We thought that we would try that. We did tonight, and it totally worked!! We loosened them on the handle bars on top and where they connect to the flywheel. That has made a tremendous difference. Prior to that, we had used WD40 and grease, but nothing seemed to work. Try to loosen the screws and see what happens. We actually have had the same problem. After about 4 minutes, it was terrible!!

I didn't have that problem. However, I've read in reviews that the wheel does loosen up. Actually, now that I think about it, it has gotten a lot looser.

For me, improper adjustment was the cause. I watched a few YouTube videos, and adjusted them myself. Problem solved. A bike shop can do it for you if your not a DIYr.

Make sure that when you tighten the one bolt you keep the one on the other side from turning. Two adjustable wrenches will help with that. Hold the one side still while you tighten the other. Tighten until the seat no longer wigles. I had not problems, other than I remember it took quite a few turns to get it tight. good luck. Oh, by the way, if you contact the manufacturer, they are VERY helpfull.

as others have noted, you do have to pay attention when rotating the bike to other positions. Sometimes just re-clamping the bike at a different spot in the frame can make a big difference. I suspect there are sturdier ones out there if you want to pay more. I didn't and the stand has worked just fine for me. (I'm about to overhaul my 3rd bike on it.)
