Hello, first off, I'd like to let you all know that I feel like a moron for having to ask this, but it's been more than 10 years since I've ridden a bike, so here goes nothing... Does "fixed" mean that the pedals continuously spin when in motion? Ok,...

Does "fixed" mean that the pedals continuously spin when in motion? Yes, however this bike offers a flip flop hub which can switch to a single speed which will allow free wheel motion. These hubs are very popular on single speed and fixed bikes.

Is it possible that they used to have this awesome and obvious amazing feature, and discontinued it in the newer model? When I walk at an adult's pace now, my toddlers little legs have to work like crazy to stay on the pedals. But we used to have one almost identical (the handle bars didn't join in the middle) that would click but let the kid rest her feet on the pedals without moving...

What is the brand/model of the stationary bike? If I see the (stationary) bike in question, I may be in a better position to advise. Cheers, OCTrojan

Nope - it is ratcheting when you rotate backwards, but the wheel wouldn't rotate backward. Only forward ride.

It is normal to have a little increased resistance compared to a normal wheel. You should still be able to ride it, but it will feel very slow. If the wheel doesn't turn at all, then it is either defective or installed wrong.

Can pedal backwards but bike doesn't go backwards and yes it does click but it's quiet compared to some I've heard

I have 3 pair of the look carbon Ti pedals on 3 different bikes. The newest pedals don't spin at all, the two older pedals spin pretty easy.

If it is not broke you just turn it to the right one number at a time. It may be very tight. Mine was tight and I just loosened it up a bit. It will turn easily and feels like it wo't turn but it will. Just turn it to 2 and ride it to see if the adjustment was made. I ride at 3 most of the time unless I am training for a race then I ride on 4. I am 66 so I am not into making my legs that much stronger. It may be broke but I doubt it if it is new. I love my unit and I have over 5,000 miles on it.

Well the bike comes in "fixed" mode when shipped. Flip the rear wheel to other side in order to use the "freewheel" side of the hub

So far Schwinn has been very good about getting back to me, but not so good in fixing the problem. I have replaced the control panel, nearly all the wires and the dc motor. It still doesn't work, but they are still working with me. If either of you have any luck, please let me know via this post.Thanks

If you want to be able to pedal backwards freeky. Simple flip the rear wheel. It's a flip hub which means one side is fixed and the other is single speed. Stay coastin.

It has both a fixed gear cog, meaning the pedals are always in motion if the bike is moving, and a freewheel cog, meaning the rider can coast without the pedals rotating. Each is installed on opposing sides of the rear wheel hub. Hope that answers your question.

I assume you actually mean between the cranks and flywheel since all pedals spin freely. The answer is no, it does not "freewheel." That's how all spin bikes work and that's what makes them different from an old-school "exercise" bike. It's a direct connection from the crank sprocket to the flywheel via the chain and there is no freewheel on the flywheel �

The small magnet which passes by the fixed sensor is designed to attach to a spoke on the wheel. This could be a problem unless your spinning bike has spokes which most do not.

Hasn't happened to me yet. I love these pedals so far. Only been on about a couple dozen rides with them but I weigh 200lbs and they feel solid. Very light also.

Where I did have this show up was that standing on the peddles had, over time, actually pulled on the pedal where it screws into the crank, so that it was out of line. I had to completely remove the pedal, and then slowly and gradually work it back in straight (had to essentially re-bore the stripped portions of the threading). Once I did this, the clicking went away.

My bike has no quick release either, and I haven't had any issues. I'm not pedaling fast, though, so take that into consideration. :)
