This worked but only for a couple rides- did it lose resistance again for anyone else?

Great video. I was able to fix my 170 with the same issue. Thanks

Thank you for sharing! My Schwinn 130 is fixed by adjusting the screw on the back of the servo motor.

Managed to pull apart the Schwinn 130 we have and fix the resistance. Thank you so much for this detailed video. My bike is back in business again!

Thanks for sharing! Very well explained!

Perfect! The casing for the 130 doesn't come off fully as the pedals are attached differently, but I was able to reach the motor and adjust it just like you instructed. You are a lifesaver!

Thank you so much for such great instructions. Would never have been able to fix my Schwinn without your help. Top notch guide.

Worked for me. Thanks. I was able to reach everything by just opening up the case. Small hands and arms are useful sometimes. 😊

Your fix worked absolutely perfectly -- I was about to junk the bike and get a new one! Thank you!

This worked! I stripped the blue screw but I was able to jam a flat head in the screw and twist.

What is the size of the bicycle crank extractor for your Schwinn 170? I ordered a 16 mm, and it seems too big...

You can do this without removing the pedals. Just takes some wiggling

Hey awesome. I think my set screw is actually out of wack but I messed with it for a while and seems to be working now. Thank you sir!

This was an awesome fix to find for my Schwinn 130, though there were a few differences. I did not need the crank puller because the pedals attach differently and I was able to reach the adjusting screw on the motor without pulling the pedal mounts off. It was a little tight, but worked as demonstrated. Now all I have to do is ride the damn thing! Thanks again for posting this. A real money saver.

Brilliant. Worked a treat. Thank you.

Worked for fixing a Nautilus u616. I was able to avoid removing the crank but it required some care and patience. I got the magnets a bit closer than they should be so now I don’t need to increase the resistance setting as much as I used to. Before this I thought I would need a new motor or maybe a whole new bike. Great video!

Thank you sir! Helpful video!

BRO, you Sir are the man. Clear and concise instructions. I leaned my phone with your video against the bike as I followed..step by step of your instructions. Perfect! Thank you very much for taking the time to make the video and sharing your knowledge.

Fantastic tutoring for fixing the resistance issue, bring it to life. Thank you so much for making this video.🥹🥹🥹

great video and very clear instructions. thank you for posting this, the servo motor adjustment worked perfectly!

Curious, is it still working? Thank you.

I haven't tried to fix mine (a Schwinn 170) yet, but I just wanted to thank you for one of the clearest, best filmed repair tutorials I've ever watched. Tomorrow I will attempt the fix, but for now, your video has given me the hope and inspiration I need. Thank you.

Well, I'm not entirely sure why that works - the set screw wound up about where it was before I adjusted it, but it worked like a charm. Maybe repositioning of set screw forces a recalibration? Anyway, thank you!

Thanks for the video!

saved me a couple hundred bucks with 1 hour of work. Thanks!

Thank you so much for making this video. I would have had absolutely no clue what was wrong. In case anyone else reads this, you can adjust it without that pedal tool. The casing opens up more than enough to work in. The screw you turn is a blue tiny one made of plastic

Sorted my bike, using the tool you said. Thank you. Saved me loads on an engineer visit

A great step by step easy to follow video, good camera work as well. Thank you for taking the time to produce this, very helpful even for this pensioner. Cheers.

Something to try first. Unplug the bike at the bottom front each time when finished. First, before riding, plug the bike in (there is a couple second delay and then you’ll hear the motor moving the magnets for 12 seconds). Second, press the green Quick Start button (again a few second delay and then you’ll hear the motor for 10 seconds). Third, I press the 15 resistance button (the motor will run for 5 seconds). Then I start pedaling. I have a Schwinn 170. This has worked for a couple months. Thanks for your video. I’ll know what to do when unplugging doesn’t work anymore.

Excellent work, sir. Thank you so much.

Hi, my 130 is making so clicking noise. Upon inspection, I noticed that there is some play in the pully shaft assembly (bottom bracket). I think the bearings might be wearing out. Nautilus equipment (who makes these bikes) only sells the entire crank assembly. But I can likely fix this by only replacing the bearings. I managed to find some exercise bike bearings online which looks similar to the those in the picture in the manual. Do you know bearings are universal in exercise bikes? Do you know what size are they?

Thanks for this. I am going to try for my 570U. Would you be able to confirm the info re the crank puller please. Amazon in the UK has so many options. Is there another descriptor or size you used? Thank you

Thank you 🤜🤛

Your video was perfect and also works for the Nautilus U616 and U617 Exercise bikes- they use the same magnet system and your video was spot on for the Nautilus bikes as well. Excellent presentation and a reliable fix. Great job!

There needs to be a class action lawsuit against Schwinn on these bikes !! Way too many resistance problems 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Oh my god, I did it and I'm not at all mechanically inclined! I bought the Oumers tool, but it didn't fit. Didn't look like there were sizes listed on the packaging, though. I saw that someone else was able to fix their bike without removing the pedal, and I gave it a try. It was slightly challenging to work around the pedal and housing, but in the end I resolved the problem. Thank you for your amazing video and guidance!

Good video

Thank you so much for this video, just fixed the resistance issue on my Schwinn 130

Thanks. Great instructions. I managed to do it all without taking off the pedals, so didn't need to buy that puller.

Your slow, deliberate voice was the key to making this an easy fix, thank you.

Beautiful!

I’m having this problem on a Nautilus R616. Why do they go out of adjustment in the first place?

Thank you so much for making this video! If I had found this video earlier I wouldn't have thrown away our last Schwin. Your description was excellent. We followed it, and it worked. Some of the comments also helped....I didn't need to remove the pedal to get to the motor.

Thank you for this video. For the cost of <$20 (for the crank puller), I was able to fix our exercise bike!

Thank You, Sir! You saved me several hundreds of dollars, I managed to fix my bike in an hour following your video.

Amazing video, thanks!

Great video. I’ve referenced this a few times now cause I use my bike a lot. Thanks

Thanks for putting this video up sir! I was shopping for a new bike before i found this. I had zero idea what the set screw aspect was, thanks again!

😊 thanks so much for your hard work. I did exactly as you instructed and it worked that well. I tried to get a mechanic to look at it but he wanted $139 to come out and then would charge by the hour plus parts if needed. You are very talented and are good with your words. Thanks again and merry Christmas.
