Thanks for the info. I've decided to spin the dice. Just got home with it from Costco. Hoping no defects, and hoping the app is useful enough (basic bike operation and stats) without the subscription, as I've been told. I'll adjust the max resistance per your video if necessary. Mostly, I want to use it for HIIT, and there don't appear to be better options unless the Schwinn A10, 130, or 170 is, but they don't appear to be. I also already know I don't like the other types of spin bike resistance mechanisms. I'm expecting to take my pedals off my road bike for now and I'll probably get another pair. I haven't ridden seriously for close to 10 years, and where I live, it's not practical to ride outside until April, IMO, so this seems to be what I need to do.

Fantastic review. Thanks for creating/posting! I am about to buy a used bike (this one or a VG Body). I'm looking to replace the pedals for sure, any suggestions? I am intermediate rider, but cannot do the toe cages or cleats...they hurt. Thanks again!

Thank you for the review; it was very helpful. I just thought I would share: I zip tied the resistance screen to the tablet holder arm right in front of the handle bars. It enables me to change resistance easier and use other apps other than iFIT without moving my tablet during a workout.

Thanks so much for this thorough review. I’m looking into buying my first bike for my home and I’m a little lost as to what to get. Watching your reviews have really helped

Very interesting! I like the aggressive set up for nice value $385. After my 1st of 5 years of competitive MTB racing in '93 I bought a Schwinn Johnny G Spinner for $700 the next fall at Scheels Outdoor Sports in Rapid City, SD. I remember removing the bars, seat tube and lifting the remaining heavy flywheel, awkward 120 lbs into my '86 Honda Accord hatchback. To this day the overbuilt Johnny G has been one of the best buys i've made. Put a racing saddle on it the only thing changed. I would go crazy without it. I do 2 spin reps, 20 lb free weights and do dead weight lifts off the bars then burpees. I golf almost 100 rounds a year and use it before every round.

@TailHappyTV To anyone who has a tablet and cannot see the little screen behind it ,here is a solution .You can use your tablet cover open it and place the backcover over the top of the bike screen,at this point your tablet should hang from the top of the screen and you should be able to see your buttons not fully but at least half of your screen not fully but a little less than half is better than nothing I feel . You can at least NOW touch your - & + and Fit button! . Hope this helps!

You got an awesome job

Why do you seem disappointed that the Stop knob doesnt control the resistance also. It never claimed to do that. It said on the box that the resistance is automatic so why would you even want to control it manually ? Otherwise, great review. Definitely thinking of getting one.

Thanks! nice video. Just bought one at Costco today for $285. Looks like the right balance of features for someone like me who just wants some cardio sweat time. Appears pedals and seat/saddle are the things to evaluate and change out if desired for the comfort of the individual user. If the model is now about a year old, I'd be interested to hear from users how usage durability has held up.

Does anyone have an issue with the seat post making an irritating creaking noise? It started on the very first ride. It does it whether the saddle is set for my height or my girlfriend's height. The noise is definitely coming from where the seat post slides into the frame. Loosening the height adjustment knob and sliding the seat up or down and putting it back will stop the creaking temporarily, but it comes back after 10-15 minutes.

You're a mad man!

I'm super annoyed because now my bike's flywheel is very heavy and I can't seem to manipulate the resistance - I have even taken the batteries out and tried to "reset" the bike's resistance but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. Anyone else experience this?? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Just got this bike. So far it's ok for what it is. A cheap way to get into this with Costco's return policy giving you peace of mind. My only complaint is that the resistance levels that are automatically set by iFit have no correlation to anything. The resistance levels are way too easy. I have to override the automatic iFit resistance which defeats the purpose. I wish there was a way set a resistance range to use because levels 1-4 are completely useless.

If this doesn't work out I'm probably going for the Sunny 1805. I did try out the IC3 and IC4 at dicks and liked the IC3 so that's another option if the TDF doesn't float.

Bought this bike a few weeks ago. Overall a great deal when considering price. My biggest question relates to the iFit programming. The hardest rides only push auto resistance to 6 out of 16 and clearly isn’t consistent with the intensity of the workouts. I’m wondering if the program/software isn’t calibrated to this bike as of yet. Hopefully that gets addressed. It would really exceed expectations at that point, until then auto resistance really does serve a helpful purpose. Anyone found a workaround for this problem?

You can adjust the resistance. I adjusted mine a bit too much and it will actually touch at level 16. At 15 it takes alot of effort to move the wheel. Ive had it since jan 2020 no problems the ifit is great. Purchased at kohls online for 399 and one year ifit. Great purchase

What version is this bike

Can you use the features of the app without having to pay for the subscription

I can attest to this, I purchased this ProForm CBC bike on Wed Feb 10th, spent a considerable time with the assembly on Fri Feb12th due to my snail pace but now I go to ride it, every time I increase the resistance from anywhere between 1 & 16 it remains at the desired resistance for 30 seconds before returning to 1 on its own accord. would love to hear from you on this. BTW I am a total fan of your unboxed vid for this Spin Bike.....cheers!!!

If this serves as a benefit for anyone else I'm happy to share. After spending hours of searching the web as well as calling Pro-Form's Customer Care line and was still facing a 'brick wall', I decided to go through my connections I had to make while setting up the bike. I discovered that under the Bike's frame in the area where assembly instruction number 7 indicates to connect to connector, there are two additional wire connectors tucked up inside the cavity of the frame which isn't mentioned in the instructions because they are supposed to be pre-connected from the factory/assembly line. Well 'lo & behold' one of these connectors were NOT connected from the factory/assembly line and when I connected the one which was un-connected.....BooM!!! Not only did the resistance feature started working but all the other display features that are mentioned on page 18 of the instruction manual for this Bike. Thank you @TailHappy TV for encouraging me to be persistent 😊

Hi TH!!! Can you tell me if ill be able to use this bike for a Peloton class? (with my own tablet/tv of course)????

Possible, but this is not the bike I'd recommend for peloton app because you won't be able to use the auto resistance and if you put a tablet on it you'll block the buttons to change resistance
