Noises
ergo_bike
ergometers are equipped with quality ball bearings and a silent belt
drive. However, it cannot be avoided that remaining noises be heard, which are
in the range of LpA 52 dB (decibel).
The squeaking or other disturbing noises generally originate from:
- Loosening of the pedal arm fastening screws!
- The pedals
- The fastening screws of the feet or handlebars column!
These screws must be tightened from time to time, but in any cases every 500 km!!
Drive / Braking unit
(eddy current brake)
If a major failure is detected on the
, it is possible to replace the complete unit. The braking unit,
which consists of the flywheel, a transformer, a belt tensioning device and the mounting plate, is mounted
with only three screws.
You can order an exchange unit from
. The defective unit can then be relatively easily
replaced with the new one, without requiring any adjustment, by your dealer or a bike mechanic.

The flywheel of the
is equipped with two journal bearings. These bearings continue to run for a little
while after you stop pedalling. Feeling a light drag on the foot rods is then normal. The journal bearings should
be lubricated with Klüberplex BEM 34-132 grease every about 3000km (if the drag on the foot rods increases
and becomes uncomfortable), depending on the load.

Software Failure / Loss of Dashboard Control
All computer controlled appliances have one undesirable
characteristic in common that is that the normal software
operation can sometime fail for generally unknown reasons.
This situation is generally described by the expression “the
system has frozen”. Should the dashboard operation fail
and cannot be restored by means of normal keys operations,
then the solution would be to press the recessed RESET key
(No. 14) underneath the dashboard with a pointed tool (e.g.
a pencil or ball pen).
