Thanks for your question! For the Schwinn IC4, a little silicone lubricant on the resistance knob can help. Just make sure to avoid getting it on the belt. If you’re still having issues, reaching out to customer service can be a good idea.

Does anyone have specific suggestions for lubricating the resistance knob? Or should I just call customer service?

That’s a great point! Using a mat can definitely protect your floor and reduce noise, but it can also lead to some dust buildup. I recommend checking it regularly and cleaning underneath to strike a balance.

Some say it protects the floor, while others say it traps dust and moisture. What’s your take on this?

I’ve been using my Peloton bike for a year now, and I find that cleaning the flywheel every couple of weeks really keeps it running smoothly. Anyone else have tips for keeping the screen clear of fingerprints?

Absolutely! Regular maintenance can save you from bigger issues down the line. I once had a treadmill that started squeaking like crazy—turned out I just needed to lubricate the belt! It’s wild what a little TLC can do.

My buddy neglects his NordicTrack and it now makes weird noises. Anyone else had a similar experience? What’s the craziest thing that’s happened with your home gym equipment?
