where do I find an assembly manuel for a spin bike?




MOXIE


for a Velocity Fitness Motion Series Spin Bike with monitor.


Answer
Perhaps you could do a Yahoo! search?

EDIT: If you bought the Walmart version then I recommend that you go back to your local store and obtain one. These were made for Walmart, and actually should be relatively easy to assemble with basic mechanical ability.

Thats not to say that they'll last very long...

"There is hardly a thing in this world that one man can't make a little cheaper than another, and sell for a little less. It is the person who considers price only and not quality that is this mans lawful prey."

How should I upgrade my road bike? I have a Trek Pilot 1.0?

I want to upgrade my road bike. I have a Trek Pilot 1.0. The only upgrades I've done to it are adding Shimano clip-style pedals and shoes.

What would be my best value? I won't be racing or anything, I just want my ride to be bit more efficient. Also, I don't want to spend a ton of money.

Links to products would be appreciate, as I have no idea what I'm looking for : ) Thanks.
I was thinking more along the line of additional hardware. I usually use my bike for riding to work or casual riding, so I'm not inclined to buy fancy cycling clothes.

The guy at the bike shop suggested a new set of wheels. He said the bike would ride like a much more expensive bike with a decent wheel upgrade.



Answer
I have a bike with that level of components and these were my upgrades in the order I did them.

Cadence meter, made one from a $10 Schwinn cyclocomputer from Walmart. Get a cateye strada.

Cycling shorts, more comfortable and a lot cooler.

Clipless pedals, wanted to upgrade from clips

Cycling jersey, wanted to stay cooler

Cycling trainer, determined not to have to start over every spring.

Out of all of them the Cadence meter made the most improvement or should I say allowed me to make the most improvement. Learning to spin at 70-90 rpm's with a lite pressure made a huge difference in speed and endurance.

All of these things can be used on all my bikes and transferred to a new one. The best upgrade is your fitness.

i am thinking about takin a class called spin bike one, does anybody know what this is?




Tiffany E


i know it is a bike with actual wheels on it and i ride a stationary bike at home all the time, i am in shape would this class benefit me work out wise, or is it boring or what? any information is helpful...


Answer
Tif

Spin bikes are more like a bike that a stationery bike. If you do not know how to spin, with moderate pressure you will know by the end of day 1. You will definitely know that you have had a workout! For class, I suggest that you get a good pair of padded cycling shorts, a T or jersey that wicks moisture, and a good pair of stable tennis shoes if you do not have the correct cleats.... most gyms require a towel for perspiration.

A pair of sweats or a hoodie is always a good idea of the weather is chilly around you.

The exercise is terrific, and the music is really great. You will enjoy it... but, it IS a workout! Don;t over do it. You want to come back again!

what is the best spin bike on the market?(for home use, and around $500)?

I'm looking into a multisports-360.


Answer
One of the criteria. I look for is Max User Weight
The multisports-360 is 275 lbs. It usually an indictor of durablity and stability. If you plan to ride a lot, you're better off going with a more durable, more stable exercise bike.

Dont have one myself. I just walk now days.
