I bought two of these bikes because of the fact that they were said to be quiet. They are! Very quiet. The reason is that my wife and I wanted to use them while watching TV after dinner and wanted a quiet machine, and you can't even tell they are working, except for the fact that you will be sweating buckets after a short while.
I had a broken wheel on the front stand on one machine. I called customer service at Schwinn and they said I had to register the product first then send them an email, they couldn't help me over the phone as many other companies do. It ticked me off a bit. So, I registered and then sent an email, and it took a few days for them to return the email, but said they will send a replacement part. Not counting the holidays at Christmas time and Sunday, it took 6 days to arrive, which I thought was pretty fair.
The only thing I do not like about the machine is the display. In itself, it is ok and easy read and to set if you just want to get on and ride and make your own adjustments as you ride. What I can't figure out, despite all the button pushing, is how to get the info for keeping a running record of my progress. Nor can I get it to give me a programme to use without having to sit there and set up everything again. It isn't too important a point for me, as all I really want to do is get on and ride and adjust my own tension (easy to do) while on the go according to how I feel. Also, after I turn it on (done by one turn of the pedals), it seems to have a time of about 30 or so minutes, and still counting, already displayed, and I have to stop it, delete it and start again each time. It's like the machine didn't turn off but the display kept running. The instructions are quite vague in these areas. Otherwise I would have given it a 5 star.Get more detail about Schwinn 140 Upright Exercise Bike.
