compare to RevolutionXE? 250 lb is enough for me, what is advantage of RevolutionXE?

Revolution XE has a more convenient locking mechanism (rockers rather than spring loaded pins). It also comes with an integrated, adjustable extension inside two legs for leveling on uneven ground. For other ladder models, the leveling accessory bolts to the leg with a sliding clamp making it adjustable to the terrain.

This trainer can easily handle a 250 pound rider. The trainer sits right beside a MAG trainer with another road bike at my home and I'd say that it is every bit as strong as the MAG trainer at 60 percent of the price.

These machines are not built for hvy use. 250 # is probable the very max. I loaned mine to a friend who weighs over 200# and the trans axle broke. I suggest buying a sturdier machine.

I am 185 lbs and the spring is softer than I would like, so I would say plan on upgrading to a stiffer spring. (I believe Rock Shox does offer one.) However, the fork is a significant upgrade to the Suntour XCM-HLO that came on on my 2013 Marin Bolinas Ridge.

Actually, you should read ALL of the posts about ALL the problems with thisturntable -- but don't get scared off by them; it's a good-enough product.I bought an AT-PL120 for two main reasons: 1 - I wanted a combination of direct drive, 78 RPM, and a wide-range pitch control.2 - I couldn't afford to spend much money.

I haven't read the product information. The person who has used it for months is about 250 lbs. No problems.

I would go with the rowing machine or even better a power tower instead. After having this machine, just like my total gym I gave it away as I found myself not even using it. The resistance isn't all that great. I bought a power tower, a spin bike, those two things I use at least one every day 5 times a week, where with the Ultimate body I found myself bored of it in about a week, it just wasn't a good workout. I get so much better workouts just using my power tower, spin bike, and free weights.

Tammy,Thanks for the inquiry. The adult-sized ErgoErgo has been tested to support 250 pounds.

I'm 250lbs and I ride it. The only difference is it doesn't go as fast and the batteries don't last as long as when my 60lb son rides it. It is a great scooter. You will be happy with it.

Thanks all, I'm sure 250lbs would be fine, but figured a higher weight capacity would be stronger & last longer. BTW contacted the manufacturer who advised Amazon was right it's 300lbs.

I currently just purchased the VSX-33 Elite model and I am curious as to whether or not to switch for the VSX-1021 or not. Does anyone have extensive information as to why I should choose one over the other. Thank you....

Jason, I have the NXT 300 and it is really great- large cooking area and really quick. down side - it is not as compact and quick to set up as LXE. But it does my family of 5 on week long camping trips

I have both M520s and these A520s. I'm not certain that the extra platform amount is noticable. Prior to these arriving, I mounted the M520s on my new road bike and was equally pleased. It is more effort to "orient" the pedal after being used to the M520s dual sided entry, but nothing to get excited about. The main reason I like the A520s is the lower weight. With only one side of clipless hardware, they are much lighter. Going from my mountain bike (w/granny gear)to my new carbon road bike (without) the hills are not as easy and I notice every ounce of weight! I think I am becoming "one of them"...a weight weenie!

TR3000i has a higher horse power so it goes faster, runs smoother, and can hold up heavier people. It also has more cushioning for your feet, a thicker deck that will last longer (1 inch vs 3/4), and it has a longer warranty for parts (5 years vs 3).Only real downside is that it's 20 pounds heavier because of the bigger engine. Also if you buy a treadmill GET A MAT. Otherwise say goodby to your floors and carpets. I use this one to protect my houseProImpact Treadmill Mat #PF36786BLG10

Years ago when solving mathematical equations was fun I might have been tempted to provide a scientific response but I no longer enjoy the challenge. I can however provide an answer based on my real world results. I happen to weigh 180 lbs. In your scenario... for me to get the full 3" of when hitting a rock or tree root at less than 10 mph I've been using the Blue/Grey combination. NOTE: This Blue/Grey combination is "below" Crane Creeks elastomer recommendation for a 180 lb rider but I find it offers a softer more cushioned ride when I'm doing asphalt riding and doing simple transitions from pavement to mild trails. When I'm planning a weekend off road mountain biking and down hills traveling at faster speeds I find Blue/Black is better because it won't bottom out when I hit an obstacle like a tree root. Actually when traveling at that speed on a trial I tend to stay out of the saddle because if you have the elastomers loaded at the high end like Blue/Black or Grey/Purple and you fully compress it the full three inches... be prepared... because the rebound can launch you out of the saddle.

I'll go J. Hamit one better -- I'm around 300 pounds, and still walking, not running, but this treadmill copes with me with absolutely no problems. I've used mine for over a year now, and I'd say go for it -- this is not one of the "cheapies". Do get the extended warranty; this advice from one of the people who worked on my previous Sears LifeStyler under maintenance contract (it lasted for 10 years; the Bowflex was my Christmas present to me 16 months ago, and the Sears one was sold to a member of my favorite church for $300 -- which the church got). Good Luck Treading!
