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 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.

That's a good question my friend. The one I bought here at Amazon.com is not the one that is currently shown/sold here.The one I have can be seen here: http://outdoorgearmadness.com/mongoose-status-3-0-review (the bottom picture is actually my bike :) -- I have nothing to do with the website though) The page also include some reviews and comments about the bike. I haven't had any problems at all with mine.

Sorry, I didn't post my entire results. I ended up replacing the DC motor for the bike twice. The second time was a charm. I now have two good control panels. I would recommend requesting the DC motor. It is not easy to replace, and there are no instructions included with it. I spent a bit of time fiddling with it to make the resistance appropriate.

The training wheels I am familiar with would not work on the derailer side of the rear axle. The other side of the rear axle has the kickstand on it, but it could come off and put a training wheel on that side only.

I just took a close look at my RAD trainer. It is my opinion that a nutted axle will not seat correctly. I would be afraid the bike would slip out and cause injury.

A gift? The bike is not as comfortable as my previous one and no matter how tight you turn down the bolt that holds the length between the back and front portion, it comes loose and the two sections spread apart requiring readjusting. Also, it does not have a solid feel. Although I have thrown away the box it came in, I remember the box being quit large.

Because Razor changed the bike..no suspension..mine did that on the first day. Junk! Razor should be ashamed..

I chain the rear end of my bike to the bike rack and put the cover over most of it. I tried it with the front end in the rack so that I could cover the rear fully, but the bike moves and leans too much when I secure it that way. I prefer securing the front of the bike, so I am thinking through how to keep the bike straight when securing the front. I may secure the front wheel to the frame with a solid piece so it doesn't pivot and lean. Other than that, the bike cover is the best one I've ever had - wind, pouring rain and heat have not impacted it to date. I hope that some of this helps. Perhaps others can provide insights on how best to secure the front of the bike to the rack so that it doesn't move/lean so that the rear can be fully protected by the bike cover. Thank you.

Sorry, we had no trouble at all with this bike, either upon shipment, during assembly or during usage. I suggest you take it to a good bike repair shop in your area and ask the question. Good luck!

No problem your bike will not be changed unless the rear skewer doesn't work which is unlikely and there is nothing to changing that. There is a skewer in the box if you need it. I run an older rear wheel that has a very worn tire which works very well.

I have heard of this problem before from other buyers. I have not had this problem. I would call Schwinn and ask them.

This great bike came to my door packaged very well with the back wheel already on. Very easy to put together. May I suggest unless you are a capable bike mechanic, take it to a real bike mechanic to do the minor adjustments. Tighten ALL assemblies to spec. Plus adjust gears and brakes. While the bike comes partially assembled, like all bikes, the quality comes out with the details. I'll admit to many problems because I didn't know or understand fully the importance of a tune-up by a qualified bike mechanic. After a $50 tune up my machine is a bad-ass bike! And yes, I had to walk 3 miles home when the handle bars came loose and steering became dangerous. Why remove it to reship? If you want to ride it first before re-shipping, SAVE ALL PACKAGING MATERIAL and photograph it in the shipper first so you can re-package.

Yep, turned out whoever assembled my saw put the chain on backwards! Now that I've fixed it the saw works very well. I just hope I didn't cause any permanent damage running the motor for so long.

I have had no problems at all. I had a bike shop do all the final adjustments after assembly and all is well. Nice bike.

The chain saw should not of affected the assembly. Problem is one of two things. First the chain may have just come of the front or rear sprocket. Just push down on chain tensioner and put chain back on. Secound sounds like the Freewheel mechanism (racketing system) may have broken. This has not happened to me (yet) but I hear it is a common problem especially with older MX (2-3yrs old or older models). The rear sproket will turn but back wheel will not turn with it. Only way to fix is to buy complete rear wheel assembly (only way it comes) but does come with new wheel, tire, tube, sproket, completely ready to go. "Razorama.com" sells them on line for $45.00 + shipping. Hope this helps. Gary.. The chain saw should not of affected the assembly. Problem is one of two things.
