On the Schwinn 170: Is the shaft that extends to the pedal curved now, to make room for the ankle bone? Or is it still straight, as in the 130 model?

The shaft that extends to the pedal is slightly curved outward giving plenty of room.

Hello the shaft of the pedal on the Schwin 170 is slightly curved to make room for the ankles .

Yes. That is the exact setup I am running after upgrading my classic Schwinn. Works great.

See page 15 of the User's Guide: http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/OM/schwinn/SCH_Active10-20_OM.pdf I haven't had to change mine yet so I can't be more specific.

At first no. But that was because the bolts were put in the correct way. I fixed that and then yes, it's smooth. This is not something for someone who is very active. This is more for those who can't get on a bike but want to strengthen their legs and arms.

I have put several different FOX forks on the Filzer. I don't know that I have specifically put an Evolution, but pretty sure all Fox forks that have 15m thru axle are the same spacing regardless of model or wheel size (26, 27.5, 29).

I've had no problems. The foot pedals are a little bigger than my recumbent bike. I really like that. In fact I haven't found anything I don't like about the bike.

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I have it on a Schwinn stationary bike. This seat is not very wide. The seat that came on the bike is wider.

The handle bars are higher than a typical bike and that is what I liked about this Schwinn. I didn't want to be scrunched over. You don't sit completely straight up but very close. It's a very comfortable position.

Same problem here.. haven't messed with it (No time yet) but it looks like the frame is not straight where the derailleur mounts so I'll have to heat and bend that tab.. what a pain. As the bike is, the rear derailleur is awfully close to the rear wheel's spokes and even worse is the overall chain alignment

I read at Schwinn the pedal is 19" off the ground at the highest level..so add that to your height

The particular avenir MTB handlebar I bought has a 100mm rise, and there is nearly 180mm before the curve. I have a 4.5" grip, a handbrake, and an old friction type gear shifter all mounted on one side and equivalent on the other.

I looked it up on Google & here's what I found: http://www.sportsmith.net/images/product_support%5CProForm%5CPFEL038120%20-%20PROFORM%20HYBRID%20TRAINER%20BIKE%5CPFEL03812.0-333188.pdf

I assume they are the SPD style of clip in pedals on this Schwinn. The pedals have the toe harness on one side and the clip in brackets on the other side. I just use the toe harness.

make sure to look at the 2013 model of this. It does not have the same computer as the 2007. Schwinn 130 Upright, again go to schwinnfitness.com/manuals

Hi, Madeline. Hope it's not too late to help. I got the Active 20 and the seat adjustment is the same as a higher-end Schwinn that my friend has. They both adjust forward and backward only, but the seats slide at a downward, somewhat shallow angle. So there's no true 'vertical' adjustment--but a slight vertical change when you slide it backwards and forwards. It may provide little consolation, but the nature of recumbent bicycles means that your height in relation to the ground becomes somewhat irrelevant, as the most important rule to follow is the distance between your hips and the pedals. As long as you're not hyper-extending your knees (legs entirely outstretched when your foot is on the pedal farthest away from you), bicycle manufacturers think that the location of the pedals isn't important, as long as they're not above your heart. I'm sorry if I couldn't help you. One more thing, it's also bad to have your legs so cramped that your pedaling brings your knees close to your chest.
