I have had one of these for over a year now. I was wondering if any of you that own one have had a squeaking problem? Bearings on the wheels, fine.

Haven't used it a lot but never had the problem. It's not as stable as we'd like. We used the rubber track for the first time recently and my camera guy said it worked fine. Sound like a wd40 problem. :)

I bought these pedals and the first thing I did was to take the bearings out and add grease. When I first got them one of the pedals was tight and made noise. Adding grease seemed to help. Hope this helps.

I've had mine for two years. The roller surface has gotten slightly smoother in the center where the tire rides most often. The bearings have held up fine and the belt doesn't really show any signs of wear at this time. The metal rollers are a bit noisy, but not bad enough to reduce the rating and haven't increased since it was new. Overall it's been pretty good.

We bought one in November. The flywheel is fine and it rides ok. The wheels which slide on the back right side make a hissing noise but that's the only negative. The resistance is fantastic as is the the pre-programmed rides. Hope this help. I would buy it again if that helps

You have to make sure that the wheels "click" when you push them onto the "stick" - the axle. I have used mine often now and have had no problem with the wheels at all.

Mine seen to work fairly well, not perfectly smoothly but good enough. I hear no squeak. It ships with a little plastic socket wrench that pops right off and can be used to adjust the tension on the leg locking clasps. You might play with that and see if an adjustment helps. I have found customer service very good. They sent me a whole new head when I had a problem.

I have the same issue with mine. Other than the sand noise in the wheel, I think the manufacturer needs to grease the ball bearing of the axle. I don' t know if some manufacturers do that on purpose, but whenever you starting hearing those noises, the bike won' t be too long before the bike breaks down. In the old days, I used to fixing bikes, that is how I know about the issue. But if you are not a heavy user, I think it will be ok for a while. Good luck!

The squeaking is relatively normal. It should smooth out the more you use it, and subsequently squeak less. As for the .02mm increments, this is abnormal.

Have had mine for 1 year seems about the same as when I got it. Roller surface gets a little dirty from the gunk on the tire, maybe cleaning it off would lessen vibrations.

Sorry to hear that. However, I'm not the seller. I bought the same bike and its in great condition. No problems with the pedals.

No I haven't but try to remember when you assembled that part and what could be causing noise now. Can you take the pedal off and reattach it to see if that helps?

After some time (I bought them about 8 months ago and have used them lightly) mine did start to squeak a bit. It's not loud enough to annoy me though.

No squeaks. I called customer service at the company once and they were so good. Why not try that?

Not sure what the wheel problem is but I've had mine for about 5 months and haven't had any problems.

I've had mine 3 1/2 years and use it several times a week, and it's holding up fine. It did need a part replaced when it was new, and starting a couple of years ago it squeaks a bit in use, but that's about it.

I make sure to place lube on the track and I sprayed WD40 were the "pedals" can be adjusted. I also took the plastic covering off were the arms attach and realized it was the source of some of the noise. I WD40'd that area and replaced the covers. The noise or grinding sound stopped. Occassionally I still spray WD40 on the pedals. Ultimately you can call in the warranty folks for some troubleshooting if it is still a problem for you. I have had my elliptical for over a year and aside from the occassional noise it gets a lot of use!

I've had no problems with noise or wobble as yet. I've had the bike for around 6 months.
