In this video I show how to activate iFit and connect your tablet to the costco ProForm Tour de France CBC bike. I also share a lot of my opinions and thoughts on this indoor cycling bike and how some of the features compare to the peloton bike plus and the peloton app.
I don't think this costco indoor cycling bike will be a good match for the peloton digital app because of the auto adjusting resistance feature. You should only get the ProForm Tour de France CBC if you want to use the iFit app probably because the ifit app may be the only way to control the magnetic resistance other than the buttons on the console.

@@TailHappyTV Thanks, that's good to know. Looked to me like one has to choose between knobs, fall-back controls like ProForm, or a subscription. I found your video because I was wondering if the ProForm would work satisfactorily for HIIT and/or HR-based without subscription. Maybe there are some search terms I could have used? I did see someone else comment on the Schwinn A10. I'm looking into that and/or similar bikes.

Thanks so much for this video it is very helpful. I have been trying to figure out how to be able to raise the resistance level in IFit when the tablet is sitting over the manual resistance buttons on the Pro Form Tour de France. You figured it out in your video. Also that you showed that you can override the resistance levels the instructor has preset in the video. Very important, because of all the different levels of riders using this. Thanks!

I have that bike. Weigh 240 lbs. Weak knees. Level 16 resitance is plenty for me. I like the smooth quiet operation. When pairing the bike you must make sure that your not pedaling it. It won't pair if you do. I had to call support to figure out why I couldn't pair. If you need more than level 16, Costco also sells an up version of this that goes to level 22 and costs $999.

A fair review for the first look. Re changing the resistance, in. a bike ride there is a scale from 1-16. Move the slider to whatever resistance you want. An unanswered question is if I'm on a ride and the resistance is say 4 and manually moved it to 8 with the slider, and then the ride called for the resistance to be say 3, would it then auto move the resistance down one unit to 7 or would it auto move to 3 as per the program?

I bought this bike after viewing this review along with some other clips. After a few rides, I soon realised this annoying iFit low resistance bug - a lot of the workout has a resistance of 1-3 which is a joke, or max 7 resistance for the most intensive workout. I am fairly confident this was a iFit program issue where the resistance has not been calibrated properly for this bike as the bike’s max resistance is 16. I am gutted that I did not see those discussions before my purchase and have not seen any KZbin video highlighting such an annoying bug which greatly reduce the usability of this bike. Although in theory this can be addressed by a software update fairly easily, there have been several months since people reported this issue to iFit and proform. So my hope for a quick fix is not high. Again, this is really annoying and disappointing for an otherwise excellent bike.

Press and hold down the IFit button for 30+ seconds. This should allow manual mode to be engaged👍

Is this the Nordictrack IFit app? Does it include scenic rides or just live/on demand classes?

I think it's the same app yes, I noticed the instructors were on their more expensive bike. I was impressed with the resistance automatically adjusting in live rides as well as normal rides, especially on such an inexpensive bike. I need to double check scenic rides, but I did do a hill climb ride which was kind of neat to feel like I was actually outside riding with another person.

@@TailHappyTV thank you for replying. Your impressions so far are really helpful. If you could check on the scenic rides, I’d appreciate it. Not much of a class/leaderboard guy but sounds fun to ride for an hour virtually in another country/geographic area.

You think you could just glue on some magnets to the end of the ones that are there to increase the overall resistance?
@TailHappyTV
@TailHappyTV 3 жыл бұрын
lol wow! awesome idea Scott! I mean, i feel like this would work in theory? I might need to give it a try. Also, I've heard it may be possible to adjust the calibration on the bike to get the magnets to go closer to the flywheel thus making max resistance stronger, however I have not had a chance to do this yet but plan on it.

@@TailHappyTV Actually you might be able to just drop a few rare earth magnets on top of the black bar that's holding the existing magnets, to increase the overall field strength. Should be a quick test and wouldn't even require gluing.

There are pedal blocks that you can purchase and add to the pedals, but it looks like the L shaped seat post is probably standard old school BMX 7/8ths diameter tube. You could replace the L shaped post with a straight post and cut it to an appropriate size. When you go to put the seat on, it will point at the floor, but you just loosen it up and rotate back into position, then tighten it down. You can probably get the seat an inch or two lower and can adjust the reach via the length of the tube. It’s not a one banana modification, but if you have wrenches, a drill, a saw and an hour, it could be done. If you do this, pay attention to the new post and watch for bending. Also, it will probably break your warranty. Because lawyers.

Thanks for the great review. Seriously considering buying this bike. I just saw it today at Costco. The 1 year free membership really enticed me. I've never tried a Peloton, only do spin classes at my local gym. For resistance, the spin bikes at the gym go from 1-16..... My usually climb number is probably between "9-12". Can you give me a comparison to what the max on the ProForm is compared to a regular spin bike? Also, I use spin shoes for class, is it possible to change out the pedals? If so, do you know if ProForm sells them?

Thanks Zsasha! I have a video showing how to swap pedals and what I recommend: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4LciZ13qJ1ojtk The max resistance on the proform equals about resistance level 60 out of 100 on our peloton bike plus. Hope this helps!
