After assembly, this worked okay for a few days, but then the wheel stopped making a full turn. It turns about 320 degrees or so, but then seems to get hung up on something. I loosened the tension nob, but it didn't help at all. Before I take it apart...

That happened to mine as well. The wire that connects the speedometer (or "4 function on board computer" ) is probably wrapped around the spindle. You have to take the wheel and chain off, then you should see it on the right side. Maybe you can tape the extra wire to the tube to see if that keeps it from getting caught again. When I tried it, it happened a second time. I had to remove the plastic sensor (it doesn't spin like it should, which allows the wire to wrap around the spindle), so now I use it without that feature. It's a design flaw and I'm sure it's the reason they sell it so cheap. The rest of the bike is pretty good though.

Actually I just disconnected it. But I found out later the wheel bearing assembly was bad and it was getting a false reading. My brakes would go right to the floor and I couldn't stop. When I disconnected it they worked fine.

We just recently purchased one and it also ticked. I took it apart and put the wheel on the opposite way. Even though the sticker clearly said the other opposite. It doesn't click, but the pedals won't stop moving. If it's not one thing, it's another.

im not sure Neil, I didn't have this issue, did you strip the bolt that the nut attaches to? you may just have to slowly stop turning the nut when you feel the tension. I apologize for not a better answer.

start by installing the thrustmaster program off their website if things still act up after trying by resetting things on the wheel and the pc you might have a bad wheel like I did.

I did not have this problem. The wheel has gone on easily for me. Actally, in your case, it sounds like there was a factory malfunction...just a fluke. Mine has been great for years, other than the wheel coming off a couple of times. I hope this info helps you.....Cathy

I do not know for sure, but backspacing might be the culprit. A wider wheel might have different backspacing. Just a thought.

If the wheel itself is not staying attached to the "AXLE", THEN IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE "PAL-Nut" has departed for the great spring thaw....if that's the case then go to the hardware store and look in the assortments for a new PAL nut, and get on with it....If its the blue wheel adapter "bracket" is broken or missing a tab, just duct tape it to the orange hoop for now.... I've had quite a few of these products, I buy them in pairs so that I have extra handle extensions, clips and Plan "B" when its crunch time....its one of the tools in my company's snow removal arsenal, and a valued one at that....I find that they take a beating when your removing snow deeper than the hoop..(12") at a time, also if there is a layer of crust within the bottom 3" of the removal path, that also puts a hurtin' on plastic bits....we have learned how hard to push them, what their limitations are, and when to change tactics....this really is designed well, but as a maintenance tool.....its really a finish mower compared to a brush hog.

I had the same thing happen. I don't recall what the issue was exactly (I was working an had a mechanic frien look at it). Turns out I had to get a new rear wheel assembly (under warranty). The new wheel worked for us. My initial thought was the battery wasn't charged enough, but it was a manufacturing issue. Hope this helps a bit. I would ask for a new wheel. I still have the old one (didn't have to ship it back. Makes me think they are well aware of the issue and don't want it either. Good news is I didn't have to pay to ship it back).

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.

I'm glad you asked this question. I received one last week and the wheel is incredibly wobbly. I just ordered a second one for comparison, and hopefully it will be secure and stable. The first one is definitely going to be returned.

I have a problem with the 2 back wheels. After we had snapped on the wheels, we noticed the carriage was uneven. It's minor, but I can feel it when u push it. My only suggestion is to undo the wheel and put it back on. If nothing works, just send it back for a replacement. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have purchased two of these. The first one, I was a bit overzealous and really pounded the wheels on hard-thinking I didn't want them to come off. That DID make the wheels hard to turn. I do not know if you can loosen them, or not. I was not able o get mine loosened. The second one, I did not make that mistake, and the wheels turn good.

sounds like the push pull thingy on the bottom needs to be reset. the part im talking about is the thing that contacts the stop ramp and stops the wheels from turning.

I had same problem. I was using a 4000psi and it was like a flying saucer! Anyway it stopped spinning and I threw it on the bench and took apart bottom plastic bearing, cleaned it up a bit and tighten back up where it would spin freely by hand. it's kind of adjustable and it worked good again. Not that high of quality.

No I have not had that problem. I had a issue on another starter not from Amazon it was from a local part store. Had a bur on it which didn't allow the gear to spin freely .Id bench test it and see if there is a rough spot on the shaft. It might be just stuck,a little oil might free it up. Sorry you have a issue with your new starter..Hope this info helps.

No. My wheel still works fine. I have had mine for a few months with continuous use.
