Resistance Issues
Applies To
All Spinner Series Bikes
Issue
Increasing the resistance knob does not apply typical or no increased resistance to the fly-
wheel.
Cause
Most likely the brake pad condition is worn, glazed, and/or dry.
Less likely the resistance knob shaft mechanism has failed.
Solution
Remove the brake pad and visually inspect condition for wear, glazing, and/or dryness of
leather (leather should be moist), replace as necessary, see "Brake Pad Replacement" on
page24.
If the pad is in good condition, verify that the resistance shaft acorn nut is still attached, and
replace if missing, see "Resistance Knob Replacement" on page44.
Make sure the resistance knob is moving the shaft up/down when turned. Replace shaft if not
working, see "Resistance Knob Replacement" on page44.
