Has anyone had issues with the front wheels shaking alot. if so, did you find a solution?

The front wheels seem to work fine on my stroller. I think the way they put the product together, the wheels move a lot.

I've had no problems in this regard. The buggy moves freely and well. My dog first was afraid of it but soon got used to it. She went blind a few months ago and walking her is no longer an option. You may have gotten a defective unit. I suggest you return it for one that works. Good luck. I love mine.

So far I have not had that problem and I have been on some bumpy roads with the stroller. I will keep an eye on it though and if it happens I will let you know.

Not really shaking but they felt out of alignment. I just pull the stroller backwards and they straighten right out. My dogs love it!!

Yes... They do shimmy quite a bit. My solution -- Let them shake. It doesn't seem to affect anything.
1359224
Yes, they do shake occasionally, but it doesn't affect the performance of the stroller... I remember my umbrella stroller I used for my children doing this (shaky front wheels) back in the 70's so I wasn't concerned at all when I saw that my Pet Gear stroller did the same thing. :)

When I first used the stroller the front left wheel shook like crazy. It seemed like there was too much room between the wheel and the bar it fits onto. My husband just wrapped some masking tape around the bar and slipped the wheel back in place which made the wheel nice and snug. No shaking since!

So far I've used it a couple times and hadn't noticed anything like that. See if it makes a difference between certain ground terrain. (Test it on different types of grounding if you haven't already, like inside a store with smooth floor vs street)

Didn't have that problem, Lilo but might you look at all 4 wheels to make sure that they are installed with the bars on the inside of the wheel and the safety bar is not being engaged when you try to close it. I'll look at mine tomorrow and see if I can give you any other suggestions.

Yes. I had the same problem. I worked on the front brake for about 2 hours. Until I got it to work right.

We had the same issue with the clicking but it was the front drive shaft that was the cause. We have replaced the front cv shafts, steering shaft, and front axle due to wear and the front end is tight.

We have not experienced this. Your local scate shop might be able to help you sort this out. It sounds like it might be a bearing. The good news is that the bearings and wheel assemblies are pretty universal.

I have not. However, since my review Proform kept working on my bike and finally got it repaired and fully functional. Proform also extended the warranty to cover the down time. The repairman said, "You got an original version which had a few design flaws that once fixed would solve the problem." He appears to have been correct as the bike has worked well over the past 6 months.

Sorry, there is no fix due to the cheap construction of this stroller. The wheel assemblies are cheap plastic and attached with rivits. I returned mine and got less than a 50 percent refund so the company stinks too. Purchased a three wheeler with bicycle wheels that works great. Can't remember the name but do a google search and you'll find them.

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!

In my experience vibration is not a problem, the clutch or bar usually break before vibration becomes a problem. The failure rate of other components exceeds any problem with vibration.

My bike had the exact issue. The part proform suggested was $500 and did not come with a guarantee that the issue would be fixed. The part cost more than the bike. Proform was horrible to deal with. They were insulting and unhelpful. I ended up spending a little over $500 for a new Nordic track. Love the new bike. Sorry to hear you are having the same issue. We took the bike apart and tightened the belt ... Checked everything online for answers ... Nothing worked.

if your rim is shaking make sure to use a ratchet and tighten the large nut in the base of the rim (the one with the spring). If you tighten it sufficiently it will give you a quite solid rim. This will tighten it over the reccomended amount (flush with the washer) but I have yet to see any downside. Of course, we don't hang on our rim either.

Mines run smooth,easy turns,no skids..if you had it for awhile im sure its just regular wear and tear as would anyother stroller but if its new .than did you try checking if your front wheel unlocked?that maybe the problem?or maybe its backwards? If not id definately return and get a new if possible and contact where you bought it from..hope that helps (:

I did not notice ours shaking at all and we were doing about 80 mph at times. We did also have it packed pretty full. Are you sure you have it locked correctly? It took me a few tries to make sure the lid was locked and would not open.

I haven't had to deal with that issue. My bike has been doing great! I would send a request to Schwinn for the information.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

I had the same problem with the wheel and almost returned it. you have to put the trike down on its wheels and wack it with a hammer.

I've never experienced wheel shake when running, with wheel unlocked or locked. Very well made stroller, we love it!
