Does the weight of the flywheel make that much difference?? 17.6 or 22 lb??

If user might be extra petite, weak or frail, I could see the 22lb being very difficult to get started moving and keep moving.

I've never noticed any difference in weight. It certainly doesn't affect riding at all.

If it is the weight you are worried about it will not be an issue. The one I received is very sturdy and has no issue with a VTX 1800 wheel assembly which is also very heavy.

A part on the the rear wheel broke with my son on it. He weighs 150. We has trouble with the warranty and had to pay to have it repaired. I'd say no. Sorry. Hope that helps.

I have researched this item pretty thoroughly... it was the model BEFORE 2013 that had the lighter flywheel. The current model is 29 Lbs. which info is also available here... http://www.soletreadmills.com/ellipticals/e35-elliptical-2013

If you install this kit with the included springs I believe your pull will be about five pounds, and much smoother. I think you'll really appreciate the difference this kit makes. If you want to swap in a new set of sights this would be the time to do that too.

To correct Ravyn, the DC17 weighs 20.79 lbs, the DC28 is 20.61 and the DC25 is 16.12 lbs. I own both the DC17 and the DC25 and I agree with the above sentiment that the DC17 can be hard on certain carpets due to its stiffer bristles. However it does seem to perform slightly better than the DC25, but the 25 is lighter and easier to use. I use the DC17 on our straight fiber carpets and the 25 on our loop fiber carpets and am quite happy with the results.I would suggest the newer models be looked into as well, the DC33 and the DC28.

I wouldn't risk it. I weigh 160-165 and I blew a rear spoke. I love the wheels, but I wouldn't trust them past 180-190.

I believe it is 1500lbs it is much more heavy-duty than the old single wheel Fulton that I took off the trailer when I rebuilt it. I like this new double wheel one, it rolls better on the driveway or lawn, and it's a bit more ruggedly made. It was only 88.63 with free shipping a few weeks ago when I ordered it...

Update: Mine does have the 29 lb. flywheel. I just looked at it when I got home from work. Sorry if I caused any confusion. It is the 2013 model. The one I purchased has a 25lb. flywheel. We love ours. I highly recommend this to anyone. I have had mine since the beginning of the year with absolutely no complaints. My son and I use it every single day and we haven't had any issues with it.

Not sure it was for my dad he used a 21 speed for it but i dont think it would matter to much which speed it is.

With my use I usually only ran 40-50 lbs for good rpm control, and light load, and a 3/8 hose, possibly your load is overriding the torque, but at 150 lbs of pressure it is quite likely that you will need a 3/8 or larger hose for this to produce its max torque under a fairly heavy load. Dan

2-3 Times heavier than normal, though I don't think it should affect your ride noticeably

I think it did come with the throw out bearing,it's been awhile since I put in together and it's been working great,I would suggest getting the lightweight flywheel also

I think that depends on what the rider wants. A smaller wheel gives you better acceleration and control. If you are tall you might want to go with the 26 in for more comfort.. again, it depends what you will be doing with your bike.. mine is a 24 in.. I am short it works for me and gives me all the comfort I want in a bike.. after all you are not mountain climbing with a tricycle..
