Anyone ever had a bar loosen? Sometimes my bar makes noises that sound like it's loosening of the actual bar moves a bit during a killing pull up...

No, mabey the bolts need a little tightening. If they continue to come loose, you could use some loctite on the threads of the bolt.

I haven't had that problem. The Bike that rest on the closes rack to the car is stopped by the bar. I also use the straps extra length on the bottom strap to gently tie the two bikes to the bar so that they do not sway much. It is a lose tie not tight. We have two mountain bikes and I have not had this trouble. We have a 2010 Honda Accord.

There is an allen-screw holding the base to the bar, if that is the part you say is loose simply remove it, tighten it an re-install. If you have mounted it on a soft wall covering, like sheet-rock, and not installed long screws into a wall stud you will have to move it up or down and re install and fill the old holes. It will eventually loosen again, unless you mount it on something solid, or place a wood brace behind the sheetrock.

No flexing detected (read; crazy accurate). However, after firing several hundred rounds, it came loose and started to wiggle. I should have used thread lock to begin with. Now that I have re-tightened and put thread lock on, it's back to awesome for good!

have not had it long enough but if you flip it open hard and fast the locking bar slides all the the way to the other side. you have to pry it back over. it don't take to much presser. it don't really bother me.

Sounds like the tension knob or cable that controls it may be broken, when i turn my tension knob to increase tension I feel it even if I only move it from 1 to 2.

I do muscle ups and the pull up bar has yet to tip over. It sways but holds firm. David

Did you ever figure out what causes the noise? I have exactly the same problem. I does sound like the belt is rubbing against something.

I have not experienced this as of yet. One idea I would suggest is going around and tightening all the bolts on the bike. I do this about once a month or so just as a routine and usually will find one or two that have loosened up. Sorry to hear your experiencing this problem, if this does not work I would call the Schwinn customer service number and they maybe able to help you.

It's normal. The rails don't always match perfectly. It happens on my machine all the time. You get used to itI should say that mine is a slight but noticeable bump though nothing that would interrupt my workouts. If yours is significant, check to make sure everything is locked down and if not, contact Bayou Fitness.

Been there plenty of times. Just slide your knees out from under the pads and let the weights rest on the frame. Take the weights off to pick the bar up and set it on the latch. Repeat lol...

OMG it does!!! I think it's worth the work out but it does get really annoying... at first it was just a noise as if you're pumping air and that one is easy to get used to. But recently it started making this cracking noise as if it's about to break and that one is super annoying!

mine does the same thing after every 5 shots or so, then I got to release the slide to slide it again. I think it has something to do with the little latch on the side, hopefully someone will give us a definite answer.

Make sure loose ends are wrapped up and secured. The tighter the straps, the less wind noise resulting from movement and vibration. Mine is used with a roof rack so I don't know how to deal with the door problem.

Seems to be doing OK.Shortly after starting to use it frequently, a creaking type sound started to come from somewhere inside the unit. It corresponds to the movement of the feet/arm attachments and is worse the higher the resistance is set. It is also made worse by putting more pressure on the arm attachments.It's not really loud, but enough to be somewhat annoying.Someday I'm going to take the cover off and try to isolate where the noise is coming from ... it sort of sounds like the bearings, and it's possible some lubrication might quiet it down.

I find that once you tighten the ends, they don't move. The screw controls a wire that tightens and loosens around the grip squeezing the black "finger" and grip to the bar. In my opinion, I woun't want to change it often. On the other hand, it isn't that much longer than what I had before I replaced my old grip.

I do not use the brackets, I just twisted it into place. I've been using it daily for months. When you pull up or hang on the bar from one side, it will slightly tighten the bar each time you use it. When you hang on the bar from the other side, it will slightly loosen each time you use it. So always use the side that will tighten it slightly. Otherwise, it could loosen over time with or without the brackets.
