SOURCE: No resistance when I pedal the stationary exercise bike
Hi,
I looked into this thinking is must be a simple belt, or tention wheel, but these devices are much more complex than the average exercise machine. See the Recumbent selection here.
It appears that the tentioning device is a magnetic brake.
This would require that it be plugged into a power source and programmed to provide a desired tention.
I've never used one of these so I can't say what kind of programming options there are or where they are found.
Hope this helps.
Richard.

Just oil the area of magnetic resistance and if the problem continues then contact nearer repairer.
SOURCE: no change in resistance
IF you have the one i have, there is a knob with two connected arrows and a plus and minus sign. turn toward the plus, more resistance, turn toward the minus, less resistance.
It is very difficult because there are two main
versions of exercise bikes, so I've picket two of each type. If you prefer an
upright bike the Schwinn 140 Upright Bike is the best pick, if you're more into
recumbent bikes the best option is Nautilus R514 Recumbent Bike, both of them won
the 2011 best exercise bikes.
Recumbent bike works best for elderly people with back and hip problems
because of the relaxed position and the angle that put's less pressure on those
areas. Upright exercise bike works on more areas than the recumbent bikes
including the lower abdominal muscles.
