Thanks. Just couple notes: 1. Do not need to remove the stop button that could be tricky for some people. Just remove the two screws of the cover, and the plastic cover could be moved around with enough space to play. - if one has to remove the stop button, follow the push rod down, you will see a lock nut with a hex-bolt, a lot easier to remove the locknot/bolt here and pull out the the whole stop button rod, than playing with the stop button on top. 2. If you have a 8mm small wrench, you could easily play with the two nuts as shown in the video for a fairly precise adjustment without playing with the springs/magnets. 3. One should understand that, to save the cost, each bike company makes their hardware compatible with what it's designed to be, including the materials themselves and the mechanism. Moving the magnets towards the flywheel too much obviously puts a lot more force on various parts than designed, e.g., bottom brackets, chain, etc. I'm yet to see how much effect this could lead to on the lifetime of various parts, but yes, this adjustment definitely improves the resistance of this

You were lucky to receive the model with 4 magnets on the magnetic resistance assembly. I have this exact same bike from Costco and I, like many others, only have 3 magnets, so our resistance is even less. After months of going back and forth with Proform support, they sent me a new assembly, again with only 3 magnets.

Thank you so much for this! I am a super strong cyclist, so the lack of resistance was really bugging me. I’m super stoked to have more!

Thank you very much! I have the Proform from Costco & was disappointed by its level of resistance. I made the adjustment and It makes it way better. I can now stand up to ride in the high resistance levels.

Thanks fir the information on how to adjust the Max resistance. I have been thinking about buying this bike from Costco, now I feel better about making this purchase soon. I have watched all your videos on this model.

I just got this bike and was pondering the same hack when I saw that it was just adjusting some screws. Glad to know it works fine.

you saved me having to return the bike!!! now perfect value for my needs!!! Thank you!

Thanks! I was led to this video by watching another one of your videos in which you compared a number of bikes to your really most expensive one. Here are my comments: First, I was surprised that the flywheel was irregular, so that when you got the magnets really close to the flywheel, sometimes they rubbed against the flywheel, and sometimes they didn't, depending on the rotational position of the flywheel. This situation indicates to me that even when you have the magnets just slightly farther away so that they are never rubbing against the flywheel, you still have a difference in distance between the magnets and the flywheel, depending on the rotational position of the flywheel. This would mean that your resistance is irregular as you pedal along. That is not the type of thing I would want to expect from magnetic resistance. My second comment is this: If you increase the maximum resistance of the bike, and you use that resistance level, particularly while really making an aggressive effort, you might put extra stress on the belt, and maybe you would break or tear the belt sooner, I don't know. However, the good thing is that you have so many different bikes that if you break or tear a belt on one of them, you can just use one or more of the others until you get your repairs done. Here's something funny I have noticed: The bikes I have seen online that have magnetic resistance seem to always have rubber belts, whereas those with mechanical friction resistance sometimes have chain drive systems. I don't know of any magnetic resistance bikes that have chain drives, though. Maybe the manufacturers are trying to sell the idea of quiet operation, in which case magnetic resistance and a belt drive go together.

This worked! Bought this second hand and wasn't really feeling resistance until 8/9 and way off kilter with where I know my FTP/power to be. Needed an 8mm wrench to get at the nuts but managed it. Thanks for the tips! No need to fully remove the hood with the stop button. Found it easier to manipulate with the bike on its side

Thank you so much for this video! We just bought the proform carbon cx and my only feedback to my wife was that the top resistance wasn't that great but other than that it was excellent. I just undid the two screws to lift the cover and then adjusted the two nuts and away we went. It's a great uphill climb on Max resistance now.

You saved me, I just bought it and the resistance was disappointing. Thank you, Greetings from México!

I did it! I only made the first adjustment you showed us and it was enough to get the resistance to even more of a max I didn’t even mess with the spring. The factory max resistance was just not enough. I’d say this new adjustment has the magnets touching the flywheel by millimeters. Took under 10 mins for me to do the entire process. Great hack, thanks for the video! I’m so happy cause this bike was sold at a great price!

cheers for posting this! I'm going to give this a go on a cardio climber that uses a very similar magnetic system

This hack just made me like my proform even more. I can feel the resistance increased by 30%

I have had this bike for 17 months now. I have no need to increase the resistance from the standard factory as the max resistance setting of 16 is more than I want to pedal. The main reason for my comment is a couple of months ago the resistance appeared to not work. Even though there was enough "juice" in the batteries to change the resistance number, the magnet didn't move. After changing the batteries, that problem was fixed. It's also worth noting that the manual on page 22 says if you see CH0 OR CH1, you must recalibrate the resistance system. In brief, remove the batteries and then press any button on the console for 20 seconds. Then replace the batteries in the console. While I wouldn't recommend buying an Apple Watch because of the cost, if you have one, it works well with the Pro Form. Select "workout" and then "indoor cycle" when you ready to start a ride. This gives you a constant heart rate reading while on the bike. Yes, there are other ways to monitor heart rate as well at a much lower cost.

Nice modification. However would the resistance settings need to be recalibrated after the modification? Thx!

This works! Good video

It worked! Thanks 👍

thank you for your service ; )

Just wanted to say Thank You! for this. I've used the bike off and on this past year, but with winter coming this was the perfect modification to make it way more challenging. I can't believe the difference, resistance 8 now feels like 12 did before I modified it. And 16... WHOA! Going to take some time before I can handle that! Also, for anyone that finds the location of the computer annoying, I took the computer and it's bracket off the tablet rack, and attached it with zip ties to the horizontal handlebar underneath he tablet rack. Just run the zip ties on either side of where the bracket holds the computer, loop through where you can reach the battery compartment, and then zip it around the handlebar. Now it's no trouble running the iFit app and having the resistance buttons right there.

Cool.. do you think this actually change you watt values for same effort? or just "increased" your resistance. I'm trying to "calibrate" the watts. mine seems too high

Anybody else notice their magnet module is crooked? The bottom edge of mine is tilted outward and doesn’t align with the flywheel. Wondering if this normal and if not it can be adjusted so i can get maximum “magnet action” as much as possible.

Per the comment below I tried adding some additional magnets and it DOES work. My best guess is that the additional magnets added another 15%-20% to the already increased resistance that this tutorial provided. First, I tried placing the magnets on top of the radius metal that the resistance cable attached to, and I didn't see any real change. So I moved the factory resistance magnets farther from the flywheel and added them to the underside. It was at this point that I realized the factory magnets alternate in polarity so I matched that and I placed the additional units as best they would fit: 2 under the rear magnet, 2 under the second from the rear, 1 on the second from the front (I couldn't fit one under the front magnet), then I was able to add 3 more directly on the radius metal in front of the first factory magnet. I threw the last two magnets on top of the radius metal with the polarity matching what was on the underside. Knowing about the polarity, the magnets may have worked on top of the radius metal but placing the new magnets directly on the factory magnets would seem like it would still maximize whatever the compound strength of the new and factory magnets that would be the case if there were thick steel separating them and allowing the neighboring magnets to offset each other from top and bottom on a diagonal. This may mess with some of the metrics when using the IFIT app but I had to adjust the resistance that the IFIT trainers were calling out anyway. Ultimately, the big thing is matching their cadence right? What is the needed resistance for someone who is 120 pounds is different than someone who is 220 or a fit person versus out of shape, so I feel like a lot of people need to over-ride the IFit auto resistance anyway.

Problems with the Model PFEX39420.0. I am from Trinidad. Bought the bike from PriceSmart, Chaguanas after approximately 4 months the following happened. 1. The magnets in the gear wheel fell off. 2. The Reed Switch/Wire that connects to the console no longer functioning. 3. The tension is not staying for example when climbing it slips from 9 back to 1. 4. The seat pole and handle bars make a creaking noise. Q. Where can I buy the Reed Switch/Wire?

Question about calibration of some of the metrics. If you increase the "16" resistance from your 60ish Peloton to 80ish Peloton, how would the computer know the resistance is higher? I don't know how it measures resistance and determines the work you re doing, but if it is factory set to 16 being so much and you change it, w/o recalibrating, you won't be recording the work/effort correctly and most likely not getting credit for all the exercise you did. Has anyone asked ProForm about this??

Bought one this month and the Magnet was closer to the wheel, maybe they changed it as Standard?

Anyone have issues with the flywheel having a wobble? My Proform CLC bike doesn't seem to be a as smooth as it should be and you can see the flywheel isn't straight.

The only solution I could think of to increase my bike resistance is adding magnets but not sure what type that should be and if it should be installed (glued) in specific direction/side, etc ...

I noticed that it says to store the bike at max resistance, which I found odd, but I had observed that when I bought it before assembly, it was at max resistance. When I put the batteries in, it adjusted to lower resistance. Thus, *_the first thing I did was set the bike to max resistance and pull the batteries. This meant the bike didn't change the resistance on me._* I then found it straightforward to adjust the max resistance as indicated. I have to say, however, the first six resistance levels are still useless. In my opinion, it's programmed wrong at the factory, and all 16 resistance levels should be closer together and closer to the flywheel. It is a bit frustrating that the flywheel isn't very true, or it could be dialed in even better. My guess is the more expensive bikes are more finely tuned (and we know they have more levels.) The stepper motor seems capable of doing this. It's just a matter of tighter tolerances, I figure. Since I intend to go by my heart rate I don't really care too much that the resistance isn't "accurate," but I'd like it to be precise. My bet is that each resistance level change closer to the flywheel should be a smaller increment, since magnetic attraction increases more intensely the closer you get. It could really benefit from all 16 levels being valid, but as I say, the first six are basically useless. Anyway, thanks for the tips!

@gousc2622

The reason the bike should be stored at max resistance is because the resistance motor uses battery energy to pull the magnets away from the flywheel at low resistance. The resistance mechanism is at equilibrium at max resistance. To obtain lower resistance, the magnets are pulled away from the flywheel which takes battery power. I doubt that the resistance would remain at a lower resistance once the bike is not in use for a while since the control unit would turn off and no longer supply power to the resistance motor but if it does, the cable and resistance motor connecting to the magnets would be strained.

Look at manual, might need to recalibrate it. I think you remove batteries to do it.

I have this issue as well and have found a few people who also experienced this. I have no idea how to get it to go back to normal.. The resistance wont move at all now. I have never had the resistance up higher than 4. I have unplugged my bike to try and reset it and it didn't help.

The manual gives the procedure to recalibrate. Looks simple. Pull the batteries and replace and it automatically cals.

Does anyone else see the issue of ifit only setting resistance from 1-6 instead of 16?

Strange, is a led burned out? Have you hooked up a tablet yet?

@@TailHappyTV hi, I am connected to my phone and doing the workouts through ifit. But if you look at the workout chart it only have resistances up to 6 no matter what classes you choose. The bike can go to 16 and even using the app you can up it to 16 in manual workouts or by overriding the video workouts. It's interesting because the app under equipment information lists the max resistance as 16. I would love for you to do a quick video about this addressing it and hopefully getting ifits attention. Thank you for the awesome videos, you inspired me to go out and buy this bike and crush some workouts!

@@TailHappyTV I just want to make sure we are on the same page. If you connect to the bike and load the workout 401 trail climb, crested butte, then go to workout details and look at the resistance graph does it go to higher than 6?

Just add magnets on top of the original magnets

If you move the magnets closer to increase the resistance, wouldn’t this increase the power required to hold the magnets in that position? This could cause the electronics to work at a higher load than designed for and result in electronic components failing. Anyone else see this as a potential issue?

Hello, my problem is the resistence is too Strong for me, even when i put number 1 😮‍💨 i cant remove the red Button…. I dont know how to fix 😢

I believe there is some sort of clip at the top of the fly wheel or somewhere around it that will hold the fly wheel in place until you remove that clip

place a business card or credit card under the magnet to ensure you leave that much space.

I'd also add that the flywheel isn't very true, in my opinion, so you'll want to find the high spot too. I also set the bike to max resistance then pulled the batteries before beginning. That way it didn't keep changing to level one while I was adjusting.

Dude just unplug after it gets to level 16. It should stay there.
