My trainer is EXTREMELY loud. But what I am noticing is that the metal spool is not circling evenly- it wobbles slightly- did anyone adjust it?

It does make a grinding type sound and increases when ad more tension but it is not extremely loud. I watched a movie on my kindle while biking the other day and the sound was not loud enough to interfere with my viewing pleasure. I have not adjusted anything but did feel the need to. Your trainer could be defective. I hope this helps and you can get you issue solved.

OK so I have this treadmill, when the belt is making noise it means that it is unbalanced on one side. In other words, one side of your treadmill is higher than the other (left side or right side.) To combat this, there are little feet on all four corners that you can mess with to change the level. What happens is that the belt just moves closer and closer to the lower side and then it rubs. So try to push the belt back into the middle and see which side it starts to move towards as you walk on it. Then increase the height of that side.

I have this same problem. It's loud and I can't for the life of me figure out why it started or how to stop it. I'll have to buy a new machine (not this one).

Would you mind posting a video to provide us an idea of the degree of wobble which you're seeing? There is slight expansion and contraction seen withing the juicing screen of extraction when the gears are in motion however the entire extractor housing, at least on my unit, doesn't wobble.

I think there may be a problem with your unit. I've had one of these since before Christmas, anyway, and it makes a kind of low hum when I use it, but no creaks. I weight about 210lb, so maybe I squash the creaks out of it, but I think you should get Rodeo to send you a replacement.

Joseph Question when the blades are fully locked onto the shaft, the blades still rattle?? Sounds like there's a gap most likely due to the head not fully screwed onto the shaft, did you receive the blade tool with your package use it to apply the broad head. If no examine the clip make sure it is in place between the head and shaft, Mine do not slip nor raddle Keep me posted I'm interested in what is creating the bouncing blades. TY

That's only happened to me once. Pop the spool cap off (squeeze the two sides and pull it) and look at the spool of line. It's possible you have some sort of knot in the line stopping it feeding freely. If so, pull it out and rewind it. I've had very few problems with it, though if you're whacking weeds close to concrete or stone, for instance, it will wear quite fast, requiring stopping every minute or two to feed more line. BTW, you should hear the line feed click just before the head stops turning. The thing is designed for about a 1/4" feed on each stop/start.

We have had this trainer for approx. two months now. My wife uses it seven days a week, and I try to use it at least five days a week. At this point we have had not one problem with the machine. As I had stated in my review of the trainer you have to read the instructions and use them in the order that they are printed, when you assemble it Also a light coating of good grease on all of the moving parts makes a big difference in the operation of the trainer, and I am sure it will make a difference in the length of time that the trainer will last also. To be sure this is not a trainer that you would find in a professional business, but for home use it is really great! We have had this trainer for approx. two months now.

Not yet, but mine is relatively new. I have noticed that the vibration of the machine will slowly change the temp setting though. I am going to try and put it on a towel next time to see if that helps.

Did you ever figure out what causes the noise? I have exactly the same problem. I does sound like the belt is rubbing against something.

My auto-feed wont work either, I tried several times to get it to advance the line, I'm guessing its just broken. I have to stop what I am doing and press the button near the spool every few feet. I'm going to give it a better look tonight but I think I made a mistake with this purchase.

yep. I've found that a tiny adjustment to the resistance will make the noise go away. I think it's just a result of something rubbing on something else, probably will get smoother as you break it in.

On mine you unscrew the collar (outer ring) and the spool just slides off. I seem to remember that the first time I tried to get the collar off it was really stuck, even had a few strong friends try but no luck. I was afraid I'd break it & took it back to the dealer - figured if he broke it he'd make it right. He really strained but eventually it started to turn, I think a gorilla must have tightened it at the factory. Once I got the collar loose I put a little Vaseline on it and haven't had a problem since.

The height of the trainer is not adjustable. You will want to consider the holder for the front wheel that you buy with the trainer some can give you some incline options. The noise of the trainer is manageable and not overbearing.

Yes, I find mine a little noisy too, but I thinks it's a great piece of equipment for the price !

My brand new one is extremely noisy as well. The sounds do not come from the belt passing along the treadmill or from my feet hitting the treadmill. There are loud rattles and squeaks that come from the area of the motor. Also, the entire treadmill deck bounces up and down a little when I run on it. So far, I am pretty unhappy with this expensive purchase.

I don't have a squeaking noise on my trainer, but I had a semi-professional put it together and it is solid as a rock. In general, I use WD40 spray.
