I'm having trouble with the removable pegs slipping. Do you have any advice on how to prevent this from happening?

When I got my violin and the strings were new when I tightened each if you watch a u tube video it shows you how to tightened the strings I did all the strings each one just a little till it was close to being in tune then I used a little pressure and pushed the pegs in till they were snug and if this don't help then u might need to buy the peg drops. I hope this works for you the violin is a very nice instrument from this company it has a great sound.

This is a great violin, but ANY new violin, either a cheap one or an expensive one, needs to be taken to a luthier for adjustments before you can start playing it. A luthier should be able to fix that issue. I took mine to a local luthier (who btw thought this was an excellent violin) and for $20 made several small adjustments (usually the bridge is what requires the most of them) and it has been working and sounding great since then. So my advice, find a luthier and bring it to him. If you don't have an accesible luthier near you, sometimes putting some chalk to the pegs help with the problem (I did that on my previous violin and helped to some degree). Good luck.

There is peg "tack" that you can apply to give it more grip. Liquid bottle and probably $5.

There are two kinds of "compounds" you can put on your pegs. One looks like a lipstick applicator, that's for sticking pegs. But you want the compound paste that prevents slippage. You can get it here http://elderly.com/accessories/items/V404.htm

No, I have had no problems with pegs with this violin model... you can sand them a bit and put some chalk dust ...

Try flipping them the other way. They kind of fold strangely. One way they will fall open and hang straight down. If you invert the fold and rotate it the opposite direction, then it should rest on the pegs and tuck away neatly. I hope this helps.

On the first try, I accidentally had the fork turned around backwards. Make sure it's facing the right direction (look at the decals). That was the only problem I had. Hope this works for you!

If you are refering on how to get them out of the Kayak then mine had screws that they were held in place by. If you are refering to how to get the foot peg off then squeeze the bottom lever toward the top and it will slide off one end. Please let me know if this helps.

I haven't had a problem at all. Using opposite corners push them together. Try turning upside down if it is a little stiff first couple times. Pushing opposite corners to reach other. Hope that helps

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

Yes, when you get to the last peg don't continue around instead turn around. You can find lots of tutorials on youtube to show you how.

I had the same problem with mine, I actually ended up drilling a few holes all the way through and using a pin to keep it from sliding. Hope it helps

If you lock / tighten the mechanism at two levels as seen on these walking sticks, it should prevent it from sliding it.If keeps happening inspite of locking /screwing ,then the locking mechanism is broken. This happened to the Nordic track ski/walking poles I purchased 5 years ago.good luck

sometimes the top plastic comes loose , I've put two small pieces of gaffer tape to keep it in place. good luck

This is one of the main reasons why I sent mine back. There is a way to tighten and loosen the belt by using the included tool, but that has a chance at making it slip and slide even more.

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

I have done different things. First suggestion is make sure your bike rack is as far back away from your seat as possible. The second is put a cardboard box or something in it to poof out the front and pull the sides in. And third is to simply move your foot up on the peddles. I have utilized all three to fix my problem.

Yes I had the same problem. Just have to play with it for a while. I took the pegs out and forced them in and out till they fit. Then I put them back on the base and I pushed them in. Just be careful not to do damage to the statue. Looks good with or without the base. Great piece.

I use this every day and I never had this issue. I know when I was young and the chain came off you had to move the pedals slowly and work it on that way. I'm thinking that I would also notify seller and see if they can help you. I hope this was helpful.Beth

The belt tends to slide around and the pouches end up moving a great deal more than they should. I don't know what exact trouble you may be referring to, but that seems to be the only problem with the belt that I have had. I have thought about riveting the pouches to the belt to keep them in place.

It was put together already. The problem is that the pegs keep slipping. I brought it to a music store and the technician tighted all the pegs. I had thought that the problem was fixed. But the slippage happened again. My daughter cannot play and her teacher asked her to fix it. I thought about return it but then realized it just passed 30 days. I brought it to another music store and the tech replaced one peg and put peg drops on the other 3 and I was charged $18. Not happy on this "new" violin.
