Does anyone have trouble with the shoe snagging the rubber bands on the cadence sensor, because it's not uncommon to have crank arm shoe rub...

Nope, never had a problem with it. I ride with Sidi's and no problems. I rode with the sensors on two bikes. One with sram cranks, the other with campy cranks. No problems.

I have shoe/arm rub, but I just keep my sensor strap in an area I don't hit

I wish I had a simple solution for you, but I can't seem to get mine to stay either. But I'm thinking I may go buy a cheap pair of shoes and gorilla glue the damn things to the pedals.

I've had the same issues, so I took my to my neighborhood shoe maker. Old timer, who fixed it with ease. better than it was before. Did try local sporting good stores to no avail. Hope this help you.

I recommend another peddle which is better for regular shoes and bike shoes: Shimano PDT400 Clickr Pedal. I have had both and have fallen many times with the PD-M540 but none with the PDT400. The PDT400 also has a plastic platform around it to support regular shoes. The two have a similar design but the PDT400 is a later model and is easier to get in to and out of.

you might want to try spraying the bolts/screws around the foot pad (where your feet goes on the pedals) with WD 40 ...to stop the squeaks and clicks...that might/should help? where ever you hear sounds coming from...I would spray that area with WD 40...if that dont work there is a phone number of the company that makes the gazelle 1-800-519-8061 they 'might' be able to tell you what the problem might be...

Sorry to hear that. However, I'm not the seller. I bought the same bike and its in great condition. No problems with the pedals.

I ahve been around bikes my whole life and from my experience all pedals are threaded the same.. The pedals themselves are what are different. (Size, etc) I have 2 sets of wellgo pedals and am very happy with them, but I picked the right pedal for the type of riding I am doing.. The small pegs on these pedals grip very good on the bottom of the type of shoes I wear when I am mtn biking so I love it. but if I am fumbling around and the pedal hits my shin.. it will take a junk of skin!

It happened to me. I replaced the band that runs over the tire rim. It covers the spokes. Mine was worn out

I know been a year since this was posted... I have a pesky squeak like rubbing sound from one of the pedals when in use. I think left side? If I go really fast it kinda lessens. But if I go a steady pace it sounds like a rub/squeaking. Did anyone figure this out? I noticed the comment stated to put some of the bottled lubricant on the track? Is that right thing to do? Thanks for any help!

I have successfully implanted them into my Brooks Axiom 2 shoes. took the sole out, then placed the sensor in a good position near the rear of the shoe, and traced around the sensor with a pencil onto the insole. I then took an Exacto knife cut out the sensor tracing of the insole. There should be a bunch of rubber left. I then took a dremel (favorite tool) and carved out a slot for the sensor. It fits perfectly, and I can't even feel it, and best of all, I saved myself 100 bucks and foot pain. Nike makes horrible running shoes.

It happened to me once. I tightened it really well and have not had that problem again. You can use this glue called Lock- tightened and apply it to the pedal bolt before screwing it back in.

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

i use it on all my cardio but I move it to my shoe since it won't really register your stationaly arms.HTH... not gps

One of the shoelaces that attaches the spoke guard got caught up in my chain the first time I went for a ride. I still have it attached without the bottom shoelace hole being used, but not sure it's usefulness...

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.

Not at all. Stepping on the peddle clips it in and a twist of the foot unclips it. Just make sure the clips on the shoe are tight. Carry an Allan wrench and every once in a while make sure that they do not get loose. If they get loose then the twisting will make the clip move and not release from the peddle.

Well, I just tried it. The Velcro is backwards if you double wrap it, so that didn't work. You could probably shorten the strap (rubberband??) and make it work, but couldn't pull on it much. I wonder if a shoe repair person could stitch it. Hmmm. I would rather have it on my wrist, too, because I can't see it on my arm, of course. I still DO like this product. Mine is holding up just great.
