I tried out the AC Performance Plus at a gym store and i noticed a slight vibration in the handle bars when spinning under load. Is this normal?

I purchased this last year and have not had any vibrations. Did the store adjust the flywheel correctly? Mine came balanced out of the box.

I feel a little drive train roughness in my bike, as though the chain, chainring and flywheel cog are not in perfect alignment. I haven't had mine all that long and I think it will probably wear in some, but it might not and I guess you could describe that as a slight vibration in the handlebars when spinning under load. I really only noticed it the first time I rode the bike and since then I don't really notice it, so mine isn't too bad.

It's hard to give you an answer based on the info provided. Slight vibrations can occur at differing tensions and speeds on bikes for various reasons. However, if the vibration you were feeling felt abnormal compared to other speeds and tension levels, then there may have been an adjustment issue with the bike. So I would say that it is not normal.

There is no feedback on the monitor regarding tension. It's strictly feel. I get continuity between workouts by adjusting the crank to the first touch. I warm up for a couple of minutes there, then increase tension by set amounts - quarter turns or eighth turns from there. It actually goes smoothly and reliably. My basic ride profile is a mountain top finish with ever increasing tension.

No it's normal. Need to make sure it's full of sugar, it's self balancing. I have 2 machines they vibrate a lot

No the small wheel vibrates too much. I contacted Schwinn about getting a big wheel but they said none was available. So I ended up returning this stroller and getting the croozer instead.

Sounds like putting too much weight on the forward part. Had similar issue with mine but only when I slowed down, causing weight of the riders to shift forward.

I have had my Schwinn 430 since July of 07. My wife and I have used 4 times a week since July 07. We did have the squeek, but it worked itself out. I have had 0 problems with my machine. I would buy another if ever the need!

I haven't had that problem. The Bike that rest on the closes rack to the car is stopped by the bar. I also use the straps extra length on the bottom strap to gently tie the two bikes to the bar so that they do not sway much. It is a lose tie not tight. We have two mountain bikes and I have not had this trouble. We have a 2010 Honda Accord.

I have and it's bugging me. Took the thing apart to check the cables, etc. Everything seems fine. I've been trying to find out about the magnet that belongs on the flywheel. I can't find any? Wondering if it dislodged when it was moved and now the sensor does not register that the wheel is in motion so the bike computer idles out?

I have these bars and while riding there is almost no pressure on your wrists at all.. It's all in the forearm, and the wrists are only resting on the bars themselves. I suggest you buy some sort of tape before putting them on your bars because the metal clamps will scratch your handlebars, and in my opinion aren't quite tight enough by themselves. However, for the price these cant be beat.

I've had no problems. The foot pedals are a little bigger than my recumbent bike. I really like that. In fact I haven't found anything I don't like about the bike.

The horsepower rating of your router shouldn't have anything to do with that vibration. If your router normally does not vibrate, then I would suspect that the router bit is not perfectly straight (causing a wobble), or it is not inserted correctly and tightened sufficiently.

Hello. I did send the bike back. Amazon's service was great, once again. The left hand grip was tearing in two places. It had a total of three hours use. The chain drive is very loud. There is no way to fix that. New road bikes don't have that noise. This one gear spinner should not be so loud. I liked the elbow pads, however that is a where the hands go. One of the pedals came off and was stripped. It would not go back on. I know I put it on correctly. For a new product this should not have so many problems. Spend a little more and get a quality product. I got what I paid for. Hello. I did send the bike back. Amazon's service was great, once again. The left hand grip was tearing in two places.

It could be a diffrance in volts/ampsI have no issues with this making my iphone hot, but it is also in a handlebar grip getting air when I ride.

Hello, I had no problem with mine, I think yours has some kinda electric problem, did u get extended warranty? If not call Schwinn I am sure they can help you what to do.

As someone who owns this bike I would advise against standing on the pedals at any point they are not incredibly strong and I've had to replace the entire right side pedal unit because it was poorly machined. It took a me about an hour to take the bike apart and reassemble it.The arm bars swing and if you were standing upright on it, they would repeatedly smack you in the abdomen. Seems uncomfortable.

The handle bars twist but the machine is stationary. You can youtube Tony Little's health rider and see it in action if you wish.

None. However I do have to readjust the position periodically so I may spin the rear wheel without the arms on the stand touching spokes or gears. On my friend's bike he didn't have to worry about this but because of the shape of my specialized I experienced this.
