    Question Spinning Bike Vibration

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I just recently bought a used Johnny G Schwinn Spinner Pro. I brought it home and it vibrates the whole floor when I use it. This normally wouldn't be an issue, but I live on the second floor of an apartment building. Any ideas on what I could do to cut down on the vibration? An specialize mats?

    Get a mat. I think there might be some examples on the Spinning website, but I'm not sure. Really anything designed to fit under most cardio equipment will work. A mat made for a trainer might also work, but I'm not sure if they're thick enough for how heavy those spin bikes are. A mat will help absorb the noise and vibration. Also be sure the legs of the bike stand are level.. in case your floor isn't.

    I have no suggestions, our spin bike (Vega Spin Bike
    http://www.torpedo7.com/page/bikes/C...es-accessories )

    doesn't do this... though it does rattle a bit when my sons push their cadence up over 160 and sounds positively noisy when 15 1/2 year old exceeeds 230...

    But no vibrations on the floor... but we are a one level house, with solid foundations...


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    yeah, rubber mat or rug underneath to dampen the vibrations.
