Schwinn Active 20 - sliding seat? Do I need to tighten something?

Same Problem, appears to be a mispositioned Cam. The Rubber pad Faces Rear & there was no "Cam Retaining Tie-Strap" To Cut when I assembled it. I believe it should face up somehow.

At first no. But that was because the bolts were put in the correct way. I fixed that and then yes, it's smooth. This is not something for someone who is very active. This is more for those who can't get on a bike but want to strengthen their legs and arms.

I've tried alternating bikes front/back, etc. and strapping them tightly. It seems impossible to prevent any rubbing so I will also use a towel, etc. in between spots. Good luck!

Loosen the nut and screw where the seat post and the frame meet...you can move it up and down...and then retighten.

I just used a regular box end open end wrench to put it on , and tighten it up . That's the way I have been doing this since I was a kid . When I changed pedals on my BMX , and Freestyle bikes they always stayed tight . I hope this helps you .

Have you looked at the bolt underneath the seat? Make sure that is lined up with grooves and really tight. Hope this helps.

There's a knob on the bar that the seat sits on. You loosen the knob, pull up on the knob and slide the seat up or down to the required length. There are grooves in the bar for the adjusted lengths. When correct length found, tighten knob.

I have the same problem. Which one, sold on Amazon. is preferred? I have been told that bike seats are for moving bikes and cannot be fitted to stationary bikes.

See page 15 of the User's Guide: http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/OM/schwinn/SCH_Active10-20_OM.pdfI haven't had to change mine yet so I can't be more specific.

I had the same problem. I ended up buying another seat without any tightening bolts.

Put the bottom seat bracket into the seat stud on the bike and tighthen the nuts as far as you can go until it holds your seat. Also look for a gel seat cover that goes over the seat for comfort when riding long cycles.

I also purchased a U shaped bar that attaches underneath the back of the seat to stabilize it. I took it to my local bike shop and they put the seat and bar on for me, as I did not know how to do it. If they used anything additional, they did not tell me or charge me. I hope this helps.

I found the seat comfy, adjust to your sitting level then really tighten the lever, perhaps using a small pliers to get it tight! The original seat didn't fit right so I bought the stress free seat, the only other thing would be a seat back for longer rides , ride safe!

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

There is a round hand crank just under the seat at the front - turn it clockwise (looking at the machine) - it is probably loose! This happens to mine & I have to tighten it up daily.

No, not really. But its a fixie so the seat is supposed to be thin and skinny. Its really strong tho! I've had this bike for about 7 months now and its in really really good condition. Considiring I ride the bike 5x a week.

We did not overly tighten ours as we didn't find a need to. We did tighten it snuggly enough so it wouldn't turn easily. It did move a bit once after it was bumped but it wasn't a problem to move it back. I would suggest you contact the company if you feel yours is having a problem..
