" ... He eventually had to take it apart. ... The point where the pedal unit is attached should have three tight screws attached. ... Mine had two loose screws and one missing. ... "
" ... It constantly slides because it is in front of you and you are pushing against the pedals. ... "
" ... Also if you have a rolling chair it's very difficult to hold still and use. ... "
" ... I had this product for a month and the bearings fell out of the wheel under one of the peddles. ... "

" ... i have had this product for about 2 weeks it has maybe 10 hrs of use on it and I have already had to use wd-40 due to squeaking. ... I would think for something that costs over $100 they could make it last a bit longer than 2 weeks. ... when I first got it I really liked it, it just turned out to be junk and has issue after issue. ... "
" ... Works ok but has a terrible squeak that has progressively gotten worse. ... "
" ... Rec'd January 31st. ... "

" ... since this seems to be a systemic problem. ... "
