On mine,it always starts at zero and I click it up to the resistance I want. It's never stuck on a level before for me.

Mine resets to zero when the machine is off. You should be able to adjust with UP and DOWN arrows on the control panel. If it is stuck, try unplugging - mine sometimes gets stuck.

Like Dorothy, I normally use just one setting. However, I just tried them all and, like Sally, found a considerable difference in resistance between the low and high settings. Low is nearly freewheeling, high is like going up a stiff grade, and the steps in between are a fairly even progressing between the two extremes.

you dont adjust the resistance on the cycleops. By shifting gears on your bike you adjust your resistance.

I have no clue I tried and broke it off the handle bar where I mounted it, luckily the bike I use has 10 speeds to adjust the resistance

I have no resistance on the black tab on each end. Whether I want to lock it in upright position or collapsed position.

Hold the buttons down until you get to the desired number. The numbers will change.

Did anyone ever figure out why the resistance and computer resets? I cannot get the resistance up at all.

Just play around with the console, you'll get the hang of it easy enough. you won't screw it up. as far as peddling backwards, I only know it will without resistance. I'll check tonight if I can peddle backwards with resistance levels.

I had the same problem with resistance, but different experience. I got great customer support. She told me over the phone that the motor was bad and that one would be shipped from Oregon, to arrive in a week. The repairman contacted me the next day to touch bases, and came out to see me when the motor arrived. It turned out that I needed a new wiring harness, which he fixed. Then he rebuilt the whole machine, and it works quite well now.

I have the same problem. I noticed that it's not actually resetting based on how long I ride, but it resets whenever I try to change the resistance. So, if I manually push the button to increase the resistance it resets immediately, if I use program mode it resets whenever it reaches the first jump in resistance, and if I ride in manual mode with no increase in resistance it never resets.

I have not used the manual feature yet on the LCD screen, but that is how the tension is managed. There are no manual knobs to adjust resistance.

Start with the lowest and move up from there. You want to use as little "force" as necessary to correct the behavior.

Be very careful about changing your PH. Do it in little increments . If it's at 7 just leave it at that

The on/off switch is at the bottom of the slider's travel. Slide to the bottom and push through the resistance to turn off.

There is no adjustment for resistance.... The harder you pull back the more resistance you encounter....

Mine also only turns to 57. If I push and twist hard it can go to 58 but it goes right back to 57 as soon as I release my fingers.

There is no adjustment to the resistance. It's designed to provide more resistance the faster your speed is.
