Assembling Your C6 Bike | Bowflex® Support

[@Anonymous-pm7jf]

06:10 for those who may not know ( I see it was the most replayed section of the video) 1. Tighten the handle and let it lie facing whichever direction on your last turn. 2. The handle can disengage by pulling on it and can be adjusted so that after tightening you can make it face any direction you choose.

[@SinnerSince1962]

Yes, a very, very important point they neglect to even mention. At one point, they tell you to tighten the lever, and then go on to say it must point forward when tight. Well, in the real world, and without knowing the tip you mention, that would be nearly impossible to have it tight at exactly point forward at the same time.

Thanks

This was the best assembly video. I was easily able to follow the steps. I loved that most of the screws were attached to the body parts - save so much time hunting for the correct screw. It took an hour and 1/2 because I took my time to do it correctly but it was worth every minute.

[@lmercer]

Thank you for making this simple. I did not run into any issues following this video. Easy 35 to 40 minute setup with one person.

[@lmercer]

Btw I received my Bike in about one week and a half.

[@huantrahuongson]

We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. kzbin.infoUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.

Great video! I paid for the assembly but because of the virus I wasn't able to get it assembled at home so I followed this video to a T and I had it together in an hour and a half. I am not good at putting stuff together so I really appreciated this I wasn't confused at all.

[@khirypalmer9846]

JAAM Leach how long did it take you to receive your bike? Just placed my order a few days ago.

[@xxluuser]

@@khirypalmer9846 ordered mine 3/23, received it today (4/14)

[@renaewright3946]

Were you able to get refund for the unused assembly service?

[@ItzPronto]

Same lol

[@BhagwaInCanada]

How heavy was the frame?

[@jameskostick2049]

Great video! Had the bike assembled in 40 minutes.

That's awesome, great timing! -Bowflex Team

Thank you for the video. I had it up in 40 minutes :D

[@rightback630]

We're having trouble with the handlebar post step. When tightened, it only points upwards. It is not possible to get it to point downwards while tight. Even more confusing, our handlebar post has no holes in it. Very confused and stuck.

[@darrenmichaud8519]

I’m also stuck here! There are not any holes to “engage” and the handle cannot point downwards - there is about a half inch of bolt thread still hanging out once it’s fully tightened

[@oldgoattheantichrist3468]

When you assemble the handlebar to the bike, make sure that the lever is pointing diagonally to the left (from a seated on the bike point of view) when fully tightened or you will not be able to loosen the handlebar enough to slide it closer or further away because of the water bottle bracket.

[@nickgreico]

If you pull the lever straight down, you can move it around the nut and tighten it from any position! Took me a long time to figure that out

[@oldgoattheantichrist3468]

Nick Greico Thanks Nick.

[@JaySouth3]

@Nick Greico Thank you...You're a hero. i was ready to destroy something out of stress and anger!

[@joem5015]

I had to search other blogs to figure out the handle bar tightening mechanism actually has a ratchet built in...if you pull the handle out toward you, it will freely turn and not engage, which allows you to adjust the position of the handle when tightening! Something they completely leave out of the instructions...

[@marlenebaranek2456]

Joe M could you possible post a photo? I can’t get my bike set up properly because of not having the bars close enough. I’m pulling and lifting and pushing and still can’t get the right spot.

[@Berengier817]

rear stabilizer on the C6 is different now. current C6 requires 4 holes. I have gotten two bikes without the holes drilled in

[@garygiovino3776]

Thank you very much -- this was easy to follow and very helpful to me.

[@joem5015]

Anyone else have an issue with the magnetic brake not being centered on the flywheel? I can't find a video or anywhere in the manual that shows how to adjust the caliper to center it?? I feel like it may be causing the resistance to feel much higher at lower levels than it should. Customer service (after 2 hours on hold) emailed me excerpts form the manual on brake replacement than don't help at all.

[@LisaGallegos]

Great video..but I can’t figure out how to get the handle bars closer or further it’s locked in cause that water bottle bracket

[@farenhe1t]

Lisa Gallegos - Dog Training The best way I found was to take the console screen off the bracket that the water bottle trays connect to. Then remove the bracket. Twist the handlebar adjustment handle so the handlebars can slide. Slide the handlebars all the way forward and tighten them, like vid says, with the adjustment handle facing forward. If the adjustment handle isn’t facing forward, you can pull the handle down towards the floor, then twist it so it faces forward. Finally you can reinstall the water bottle bracket, and attach the console screen again.

[@reganschoffer1560]

40mins and we on!

[@afig08]

3 rides in and I am hearing a loud knocking sound near the pedals. I tried tightening everything in that general area but it's still happening. Any idea what could be causing this?

[@safwanrahbany9339]

same here... on my right pedal.

[@afig08]

@@safwanrahbany9339 I was able to fix mine by taking the pedal off and cleaning the inside. There was some metal shavings. That seemed to fix it.

[@rithm4248]

excellent vid! Thanks!

[@Cheri2057]

I don't know how you can put on water bottle holder and tighten the handlebar, it sticks out and you can't slide if it hits . I have been on this for 3 hours and can't figure out how to do it. It can't be tighted and point to the side because then the water bottle holder won't let you slide it.

[@turquoise_sky]

I had the same problem since I like the handlebars close (I’m short!) and the handlebar lever was blocked by the water bottle holder. I finally figured out if you pull the lever straight down toward the ground, you can move the handlebars to the position you need, then push the lever back up and in place to tighten it. Pull it down again as many times as you need to get it tightened.

[@karencoronado6548]

We are experiencing a loud clicking on knocking sounds by the front wheel. Not sure what this could be but it makes it too loud to ride late at night or early morning. Please help!

[@JordanSmith-jd1ee]

Why do I have 4 screws left over (not including the screws for the cleats)? Anyone else have this issue?

[@kawanahebron3831]

After a month received the bike (expected), but assembly is now listed as 3 months out (unexpected). Anyone know if I can get a refund. About to try to assemble on our own.

[@LisaGallegos]

Kawana Hebron dame thing happened to me!

[@SelfHelpUSA]

Can I change the SPD cleat to a Delta Look ?

[@shannondetchon8164]

You can if you buy new spd look pedals

[@TRUTHISABSOLUTE777]

Which way do you turn the leveling dials to raise the foot?

[@lukewilliams3389]

Hardest thing is getting the wrench on the nut of the pedal

[@patriciapatricia4041]

Does anyone experience a whistling sound when riding ?

[@cubehire3653]

Good video except for the annoying distracting music.
