Full Version: Tension adjustment not working
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
We have a Schwinn SRB-1800 recumbent exercise Bike.  It has served us well for many years.  Recently the tension adjustment began to respond erratically, and has now completely stopped.  I can see the resistance motor trying to move every now and again.  I'm fairly certain the resistance motor (p/n:  13001581) requires replacement.  Unfortunately this part appears to be no longer available.   
Can anyone tell me if I can replace the motor with a manual aftermarket lever or knob of some kind?   I'm thinking something must be available that would be similar to a bike gear changing mechanism that could be mounted on or near the control panel, it would have a cable running down to move the magnet assembly back and forth.  I realize that the control panel would no longer "know" what the resistance level is... but that does not concern me..  

Best Regards, 
Stan Klassen
