The resistance is too great with the 4.5 drums. There is no glide. What am I doing wrong?

Let me try to answer your questions separately--as there are two issues here. 1. The 4.5" drums offer very little resistance--any appreciable resistance that you feel is likely coming from A) the gearing on your bike, and not B) being accustomed to the ride of the rollers. I have the very same rollers, with the Killer Headwind accessory--now THAT is A LOT of resistance! Try changing gears on your bike and see how that works. It's worth mentioning that as you progress to the smaller diameter drums, the resistance increases dramatically, and the Killer Headwind may not be necessary. 2. The "glide" you're referring to is non-existant on rollers due to the fact that there is no ongoing momentum; the rollers stop turning when you stop pedaling. There is an accessory you can buy that will get you that glide: it's the flywheel attachment. With this accessory, when you stop pedaling, there's just enough momentum going through the flywheel, that it will give you more of that sense of coasting/gliding--BUT for only a VERY short period (1-2 seconds.) I have this accessory as well, and it is very well worth the cost as it makes riding quite a bit more fun. I am considering buying a second flywheel (for the left side of the rollers) to extend the glide, and make riding a bit more like on the road. I hope this answers your questions, if not, feel free to ask more.

You're not doing anything wrong at all. There is no forward momentum of you and your bike, so no glide. ...and Choirgirl, if you're using the rollers on carpet, that adds a lot resistance, too.

I was breaking my head trying to figure it out. I just kept turning the knob towards the right side and after a few seconds, you'll see one of the pedals rising a bit. Do it to preference, but I was finally able to raise my pedals and now it feels like I'm doing something!

It looks like the pedals are fixed in place. I don't think you can adjust how far they are apart.http://pearldrum.com/products/hardware/drum-pedals/demonator#p-932

Many factors to take into question here - what is the limit of the 'board' you are using between the glides? What type support are you attaching the glides to? What kind of attachment (screws) are you using? Length of those screws? Distance between the glides?

To amend my last answer, there is a Youtube video about installing these glides. Just search 'accuride'

It is normal to have a little increased resistance compared to a normal wheel. You should still be able to ride it, but it will feel very slow. If the wheel doesn't turn at all, then it is either defective or installed wrong.

I had a similar issue and found that I needed to adjust the little bobbing pin near the handle, it should be standing straight up at full pressure so try to use a pen to adjust it.

FROM HIGH TO SUPERSONICHave you talked to the seller? Sounds like it's defective....Just send it back. I bought one for my wife, but returned it. Even on the lowest setting the vibration was too drastic for her; so I tried it. Lets just say I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 275 lbs, and it was uncomfortable for me. Who knows, if you get it to work it may be just right for you.

I believe each trigger has nine velocity layers. So nine levels per drum/cymbal. However I never used any of the module sounds because they are terrible. Use the midi out function and find a good software drum library. You can adjust velocity curves more accurately from an external source anyway.

I would suggest contacting the manufacturer. One of the few design issues I have is the way the handle works, it's too easy for it to catch when I'm rotating the drum forward. Fortunately I've been careful and haven't had a handle break.

this has not been a problem for me. Are you zeroing it out? Has this been a problem from the first for you? Mine has always settled in, but there are occassions when it does kind of go back and forth between for example 27g and 28 g if you are really on the edge of a little more than 27g and a little less than 28g. I hope this is helpful. If yours is bouncing all over then perhaps you have a defective one. I hope this is helpful. Good Luck.

Make sure the knob selector is switched to Phonograph. There is a plastic guard that has to be pulled back off of the arm/needle. The arm needs to be pulled over above the record and the first time I had to push the arm down until it reached the record.

You can upgrade to Taktor pro. I upgraded mime to Traktor pro which has more features that the light edition of this controller. It costs like $90 to upgrade ... kind of rip off from Native instrument.

I forget how to use it. It's been awhile, but moving it around differently makes different sounds. I think mine came with indtructions, but either way try upside down etc

Whatever the reason the pitch slider control is missing, the world isn't ending.It's easy enough to record the track, select the recorded track, go to "effects", select "change tempo without changing pitch" and enter a percentage. I would suggest beginning with "5.000" to speed it up a bit, or entering "-5.000" to slow it down. Play with it, it's FUN!

I have found this to be the case for me too. I have not been able to use the programs, other than the lowest setting. I also have strength in my legs. Otherwise I like the machine a lot. I do wish we could reduce the resistance to enjoy the workout programs. Maybe Xterra could answer this issue???

I think there's something wrong with wheels. I suggest you to check with the seller. The wheels with move together when the music is on as mine.
