My spin bike vibrates...?

ricky tan

after a while when I'm seated, but when i stand for a couple of seconds it goes away. it feels like the chain or pedals (in that area) whats up?
and it only happens at a certain point (left foot going down). if that helps at all

Answer
...The chain is supposed to catch on the teeth. That's how a bike operates. I know, it's a spin bike, doesn't move. I'm not entirely familiar with spin bikes though, but I know they're not supposed to vibrate. Unless you're referring to something else that vibrates when ridden.

ANYWAYS, look it up in the owner's manual for the bike. There should be a troubleshooting section, and from my experience those cover just about everything that could be a minor issue with the product.

is it more efficient to have your bike seat low or high?

i know someone who rides a bike with a seat so high most people can't get on and he says its more energy efficient.
is it better to have a low bike seat or a high one?

Answer
Neither!

Ideally you will set the seat high enough so your knees don't hit your chest and low enough so that your hips aren't rocking side to side when you spin the pedals.

At full extension (one of the pedals all the way down) your leg should be slightly bent... you don't want to have to lock your knee!

He must be pretty tall to have a seat so high if he's able to pedal without jerking side to side. Too high = innefficient.
