The same thing happened to me, and I called the manufacturer. I got zero response, so I hope you have better luck. I had only had the machine a few months when it gave up.

That question just came up for me. The strings got tangled when I was working in the wetlands and I thought about taking it apart and comparing it to the one I use inside. That way I could restring it by using the other as a template. Since mine was totally sweaty/stinky after five years of hard use, I decided to get a new one to replace it. However, I kept the old one in case I needed parts off it. It looks to me that if you use a screwdriver (very carefully) you can back the screws out and restring it. You have to be careful because the screws look like plastic and so is the piece they screw into. Taking them out and putting them back in looks like it could result in stripping if you're not careful. You've really got nothing to lose by trying. Good luck!

If I recall the original feather bit seemed to have a clip part thingy on the string, (worked the same as a safety pin mechanism). I actually "lost" the original feather bit with the clip still attached, so I'm going off of memory. Now a days, I just tie a knot around/through the small metal loop on the new feather bit. I just recently replaced the string as it got full of knots! (OH and by "lost" I mean my cat dragged it off somewhere, most likely under the couch or bed). Hope this is helps! :/

Has anyone else actually done the modification M. Ferguosn suggested in his posting? Also, what 6 screws? I only see four on the side near the strap lug. Thanks.

As others have said, replacing the strap is quite easy. I actually replace a cable with the strap even that operation dis not require taking the winch apart. Take your time winding the new strap on, maybe have some help keeping it tight as it goes on. I think you'll like this new strap.

There appears to be a mispositioned Cam on Schwinn Active 20 Recumbent. The Rippled Rubber pad Faces Rear & there was no "Cam Retaining Tie-Strap" To Cut when I assembled it. I believe it should face up somehow, Should it??? I believe the Cam Assembly was in the wrong Position when I Slid it on the Square Tube??? Will That Keep the seat stationary? Right Now it Just slides and make the bike Unusable.The Owners Manual Speaks about a knob "Popping" into a hole, I see neither!It Looks as though its disassembling the unit or undoing the retaining Rings and Disassembling the Cam to reposition it. Either way not Fun! There appears to be a mispositioned Cam on Schwinn Active 20 Recumbent. The Rippled Rubber pad Faces Rear & there was no "Cam Retaining Tie-Strap" To Cut when I assembled it.

I haven't been able to find a way to do that. I had been wondering the same thing. I had the WHOLE thing torn apart after messy episode in the car, and I couldn't remove the straps.

This is a recent problem. I've had/ used 3 of these in the past year and never had that problem (All 3 are still fine, they just stayed with friends/ family). Just bought a new one a month ago and the handle was impossible to remove - now the bolt is completely stripped and I'm returning for a new one. Hopefully it was just a bad batch.

Detach the floating part from the lower part (squeeze and slide out). My camera has a a little notch to thread a strap through, then you pull it back in on itself. Just like any other camera strap.

How I did mine probably won't help you. The bag's original strap snapped into the bottom connection. The part that broke was the strap piece. The bottom piece was still intact and I could thread the new strap into that.

It does require drilling a screw that's usually slightly larger than the screw holding the strap knob currently. As always (put barsoap in the tip/threads of the new "straplock" screw) and use the recommended size drill bit when "re-coring" for the new larger screw (have a electric drill and various small wood drill bits). If you have ANY doubt, then I'd say take it to a well trusted and referred guitar technician/luthier. Their experience is almost ALWAYS worth the money!!

Well, let's see......when I bought new line for my clothes dryer, I got plastic coated wire. Then I pulled the line from one arm to the other, put the wire thru the next hole and again to the other side, and so on. Put a knot on one end, and when you have pulled the wire thru all the holes in both arms knot the other end. I did not worry about a different thread, it works just fine my way. Hope I was of help.

The simplest would be to replace the buckle. Remove the old buckle by carefully cutting the threads. If you have a buckle from a previous bag, then sew it back on web belt. I am really disappointed with this bag's performance - from the way oversize belt (which by the way won't stay in a fixed length), to the belt stays slipping and the buckle releasing from just a little bit of pressure allowing the entire assembly to unexpectedly fall from my waist. Sorry I could not have been of greater assist on the repair. Hope for the best.

When I attach the strap, I line up the screw on the strap with the hole on the bottom of the camera and start threading it on by using (twisting/turning) the strap. Then once the thread has started I use the pop up "C" shaped crank (?) and then hand tighten by turning that. I never overtighten but always make sure it is snug then lay the "C" shaped crank flush against the camera. I hope this helps!

Hi, this bag was a gift to my mom when I bought it.I did see the bag for myself and the quality of the nylon is superb and my suggestion is just to wipe any area that gets dirty with a wet towel and perhaps a dab of Dawn or soap.In my opinion, I would not machine wash this bag because it would loose its form.Hope I was able to answer your question.Have a great day!!!!! :))

I haven't had that problem since mine screws on and stays on till I take it off. If the design hasn't changed and the black tip still screws on, I would exchange it. That sounds like the threads aren't holding it in.

When you unwind it completely just note how the stap is held to the bottom of the spool. It should have some type of retainer. Undo it and attach new one. Straps are very slick and need to be held securely to the cross shaft of the spool Or they will slip! I just bought a new winch and it did not have the retainer for a strap. I had work hard to attach it correctly so it would not slip. Good luck
