My seat has very rough and bumpy running rollers. The rollers are quite noisy on run. How to make them smooth?

Your workout room could be too cold and the flat spots that form when your wheels are resting can not work out. I experience this often when sculling in cold weather.

Perhaps the slope is too steep. I put a one-inch thick book under each of the lower legs to lessen the slope. Also be sure to grab hold of the handlebars as you step on. Finally, if the problem is the treadmill rubber mat moving too quickly, perhaps you've put too much oil underneath it and you need to wipe some of it off. Hope these ideas help.

Hi there. I would agree with lucky buck. Be sure it is level. I shimmed mine with small pieces of non corrugated cardboard, like from a cereal box. It is also good to put a drop of light oil on the metal shafts where they go through the white nylon rollers.

I haven't had that problem with mine. Make sure the green slider button above the roller is fully to the left.

I think your seat is so thick and rigid. If it is, you can get a new seat which is thinner and more flexible. Look for the plastic and cheaper ones at walmart.

The rower is pretty quiet. You (your butt is) are rolling back and forth on a bar and there is very little noise with this. Our rower is on carpet, so we have little if any vibrational noise transfer. I would suggest that you put a carpet or pad of some sort under it to eliminate the possibility of the rolling vibration noise through the floorboards. The 'wheel' is wind resistance, so there is a fairly noisy whooshing noise. But, this is air noise and should not transfer out of your apartment or room.

hi Bahr they are tight I used a rubber mallit& or just press hard & use alachoal so it will slide easer.

Make sure the protective coverings have been removed. I wipe mine down with alcohol prep pads. A light grip gives the best accuracy is what I have found. I wear a heart monitor most of the time when working out and it is within 5-7 bpm on the high side in comparrison. I hope this helps.This is the best investment of health equipment I have ever bought. I did add 1" pedal extentions to bring my legs away from the center console which worked out great as well.

I have experienced this, and have read it in other reviews (the rubber rollers on the tubular track). My opinion is that other than an irritating noise, it doesen't hurt the equipment or performance. Noise coming from the flywheel assembly would be another issue. My first inclination would be to spray silicone lubricant (not petroleum based lubricant) on the rollers, but I seem recalling the instructions advising against "lubricating". Although I can hardly see how silicone would hurt, I want to research this a little more before doing it.

Did you ever figure out what causes the noise? I have exactly the same problem. I does sound like the belt is rubbing against something.

Ours too, not too bad though, but check gaps between slider parts make sure nothing is rubbing and body of chair and glide parts.

so far, I just shake it. Might vacuum or use sticky roller. I would look on computer for customer help ph. no. of B&H; 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!

I havent really noticed it with mine. It doesnt make any noise or feel loose when i run in them so i dont think mine are loose like that
