Thanks! I don't have this problem, but watching you fix it gave me confidence that I could handle it too if necessary. Seems like the most intensive repair that you're likely to have to deal with on this bike.
I have just this problem on my newly purchased bike. From the start there was a slight but suspicious noise from the flywheel and I guessed bearings/axle and your excellent video has proven it is exactly that. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make this video and post it. Much appreciated, sir.
I bought one for my home, and it was in perfect shape. A coworker ordered one for our work camp, and it showed up in a beat up box with the same vibration you demonstrated. I knew right away that wasnt a good sound. Thanks for the great video showing how to fix it. A true gentleman and scholar
for anybody else reading this that might have to do the same. try putting the new bearings in the freezer a few hours before install. it will help them go in easier. the easier the better when u dont wanna ruin ur new bearings
Freezing bearing will make install a little easier. I didn't have any issues the way I did it in the video as they are not a super tight fit. I was being extra careful to not damage the bearings. I used the race of the old bearing against the race of the new bearing and tapped them in very slowly. Thanks for the info!
Man this was helpful. I plan on buying this bike as well but the delivery itself is a month out due to Coronavirus scares. I'm going to save this video for future use as this seems to be the primary complaint with users. Thanks a bunch!
Same! I just bought the 40 lb one, because the 49lb is still sold out. After reading many of the reviews, i'll definitely will have to come back to this video to change the bearings which is causing the noise that everyone keeps talking about. Thank you!
Put my bike together after 2.5 miles it got a clicking sound that sounded like it was coming from the pedals. Or where the pedals attach inside. Tightened the pedals all the way up as much as they could be tightened leaving no space on the nuts and bolt and have not heard the sound. Hoping it is gone. Bought my bike for under 100 so hoping it lasts a while. I have another Sunny different model and they seem to be a good reliable bike. I only ride 30 slow minutes a day. Update: I have ridden another 10 miles without any popping Yeah!!!
Great video and DIY guide. Very helpful. I have a Schwinn IC4 model and seem like most bikes have the same design. Mine is a few weeks old and am hearing a clicking sound when I use it. Any thoughts or suggestions? What I’ve read online it may be the pedals but sound is coming from close to the flywheel and nowhere near the pedals. Any help appreciated. Thx!
I would suspect flywheel bearings. Take off the belt or chain and pedal. If no sound, spin the flywheel by hand with belt or chain removed. If you then have sound it is ur bearings. Thanks!
Thanks a million, I just ordered this bike but I fully am aware of the problems it had with the axel and bearings, I’d rather fix it than pay a whole lot more for a bike. Thank you for the berry informative video. I haven’t been able to find anywhere if it comes with spd pedals or not. Can you let me know?
It does not come with spd pedals, but you can get any style pedals with 9/16" thread. I put favero assioma uno power pedals on mine so i can use with zwift.
If you have a different model bike the user manual lists the bearing part number. Once you have the part number google it or try Amazon or Ebay. I would recommend quality bearings like Timken. The correct bearing for the SF-B901B is 6202Z. Unfortunately, it seems the only place to get the axle, if needed, is from Sunny.
These bikes are sure inexpensive compared to the models bought for health clubs (which can cost around ten times as much), but I wonder how well they will hold up over time and how long replacement parts will be available.
I see nothing that concerns me about durability. Concerning parts, as long as Sunny is in business they will most likely have parts for this bike. They may not make the same exact bike but you can rest assure that the parts for another one of their bikes will work. The parts that would be most prone to wear out are pretty standard for them(bearings, belts, and crank assembly) and they probably design their bikes around these parts that are already in mass production. By the time you actually wear this bike out you will want a different bike lol. Thanks for the comment!
@@ForceBuilt So, no weak link? Say, if more than one person was using it and it needed to continually be adjusted up and down, that hardware would hold up as well as the bikes used at gyms?
@@LeeBlaske they won't be as good as those in a gym. That said, daily use of more than one person in a home isn't a problem. Adjusting seat height is not a concern either. The only thing that I see that would over time need to be replaced is the leather piece that touches the flywheel to give resistance. Those are also durable lol.
after a couple of months of use. When I would stand during certain spin sessions. I would hear almost a thunk/clunk sound when there was resistance. I recorded it and let Sunny Health know. They said it sounds like the bearings for the fly wheel and or the pedals are off. They sent me replacements for both. But the down side is that I don't have a tool to remove the pedal cranks too get at the bearing assembly. So now I have too go out and buy that tool. Warranties are great but if you don't have the tool to do the job you have to spend money. Oh well..
I have a similar problem with my SF-B1002. There is a slight wobble in the pedals when standing up. I do not feel it when I am sitting down. I called Sunny and they think it's the bearings and I have been waiting a couple weeks for them to schedule sending me parts. In the meantime, I ordered the BlueSunshine Professional 22md Crank Puller from Amazon. I was able to use this tool to pull off my pedal arms successfully. No change in the wobble when I tightened pedal arms again. 😢 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074V8XW64/
No, the bearings were the problem. I could have left the bent axle in because it doesn't spin. The bearings had flat spots on them from being dropped during shipping. So in summery. The bearings and axle were bad but to fix the sound, the bearings is all that have to be changed.
I think I have the same bike - SF-B1002 and mine started making a wobble while pedaling standing up. Now its making a grinding noise while pedaling sitting down. I have asked Sunny for replacement bearings, but it taking very long to send me invoice. Is it possible to purchase them from Amazon? The parts number 6004-RZ NBK in the manual. Thanks.
Hello, I have the same problem on a bike I just bought. I sent them an email . For now does it affect the bike if I continue to use it with the bent axle? Does the flywheel get bent around the bearing and axle if I use it for now?
Where you able to tell if the axle was bent through the flywheel. In other words if the flywheel spins perfectly true (up and down) is the axle not bent?
If the axle is bent, the flywheel will still spin true. All the axle is doing in this case is supporting the flywheel. If the axle spun(It Don't) then the flywheel would move up and down. Hope this helps!
I think I may have a bent axle and/or possibly bad bearing on my sf b-1805. It has a ticking noise that comes and goes coming from the flywheel area. If I mess with the belt tension I can make the sound better or worse but can’t make it go away. Also a slight vibration I can feel through the handlebars when flywheel is spinning. Where do you buy your parts from and how much were they? I bought this bike used so I can’t file a warranty claim but would like to fix it myself!
I Google the part number on the bearings. If i remember right, about $10 to $15 for all the bearings. The axle being slightly bent is ok once new bearings are in.
FuturaForce for some reason my bike model does not include any flywheel parts on the exploded diagram when I google the owners manual.. so no part numbers. Looks like I will have to contact the company and get the parts.
@@mtba102 i just checked you parts manual. It list 3 bearings and no part number for them though. I can't imagine them not using the same ones that are in mine because that is what they already have on hand. I would personally take a CHANCE and order some like is on my bike. If they didn't work you would be out of $15.
Thanks for the video. I have the same bike and the belt keeps snapping off. I bought a new one and the same. Do you think is the same problem as your bike?
Your flywheel is most likely out of adjustment. It has adjustment screws. You will need to loosen one side and tighten the other. This should line the belt up with the pulley at the peddle. You will have to inspect it to know which side the flywheel needs to be adjusted to. Thanks
Hello , I have the same problem where did you order the bearing from and what name of the bearing and the size and please if you could let me know thanks
There is a link to the bearings in the description of the video(Amazon). I got mine from Sunny Fitness. I emailed them and they sent me the bearings and axle for free under warranty. Here is contact info for their warranty. sunnyhealthfitness.com/pages/contact-us-warranty-parts-technical-assistance
There are 2 different ways it can be out of alignment. Is it offset? Meaning the pulley is too far to one side. Or is it out of alignment? Meaning the pulley isn't square to the bike frame and rear pulley?
If the pulley is offset you will have to adjust the flywheel on the axle. If the pulley isn't square(running at an angle to the rear pulley) you have adjustment nuts in front of the flywheel. To adjust this, loosen one and tighten the other. Hope this helps!
hi there at 24mins 55 seconds you are saying "you can go to your local...( blank blank ) shop " i didnt get (blank) words.. Can you let me know what you said? Sorry! Also at around 16mins you start outting on the washers, then the nuts. Mine came with nuts and then the washers. Will it make a big difference? Or do you recommned me take it apart and re-arrange the order to washer, then nut. Thanks and great video it really was indepth! I'm really glad your spin bike is flawless now. Subscribed.
It has nothing to do with the chain driven model vs the belt driven. It has to do with rough handling during shipping. Either can suffer from this problem because of shipping damage. If yours is fine now, you won't have the problem that I had. Mine did it right out of the box. The reason I went with the belt is because it is quieter than the chain model. Nothing to do with durability and one will not be mechanically better than the other. Just different. Thanks for the comment!
My belt keeps como by off and I’ve tried to realign it and everything but my main question is regarding try the belt. Is it supposed to be aligned straight from where the wheel of the pedals are to the wheel where it goes around the part on the flywheel? Or is it at an angle?
Does this look normal where the pedal Pulley is? Or does it seem like it’s moving? www.reddit.com/r/SpinClass/comments/l5z1hs/anyone_have_belt_issues_with_the_sunny_health/?
Looks not right. Does it come off on the frame side? Looks like the flywheel pulley needs to be adjusted to the left. Angled to the left more is what I mean.
Mine is a belt drive. I would check the chain and make sure it's not too tight and you are feeling the teeth of the gear meaning with the chain. I would simple loosen it and see if that helps.
Hey! Have you or anyone had any issues with the resistance being too low? I crank mine up to max and it’s not very difficult. Is there a way to adjust this?
@@ForceBuilt @14:07 It looks like you're beating both bearings into the flywheel because when you move your hand away they're both gone. I think the same old bearing remains in your hand, but it duped me like a magician's sleight of hand. Can you confirm this is what's going on? I see it now. I think.
@@AmorFati777X Now I understand. I am using an old bearing to beat in the new one. I don't want to hit the new one with my hammer. You are right, it does look like slight of hand lol. Thanks for watching!
I did everything to get the belt right and tight and the belt still rolls off the axle?! Could it be the threads on the belt being damaged ? Please anyone help me before I have to take it to a bike shop! All the nuts are acres on tight as can be and the flywheel is straight but the belt slides off ass I pedal still.
Will, You should be able to adjust the flywheel to where you can Make the belt come off either side(left or right). For instance, if the flywheel looks straight but comes off the right side, it can be adjusted so much that it will actually come off the left side.
@@Willthrill8 I will look at mine when I get home to see which way to adjust the belt. If it can't be stopped from coming off, then your belt is bad or something is really wrong with the bike.
FuturaForce thanks for the advice also I just got a new belt because the old belt had tears on the thread so I think that problem is solved, it's just frustrating to not keep it on the track, thanks again!
Ok, do this. Loosen both acorn nuts on the left and right of the flywheel (the ones on the axle). Then on your knees facing the front of the bike, loosen the nut on the belt side and tighten then nut on the nonbelt side. I would start with 2.5 rounds loosen on the belt side and 2.5 tight on the nonbelt side. This will cause the angle of the flywheel to change. Tighten the acorn nuts on each side of the flywheel. This should be able to make the belt stay on. Hope this helps
Hey there Merry xmas! Great video! Very detailed. I just got this bike delivered yesterday. It took a month to get here and there were so many stops it made along the way, no wonder i have the same issue. The box looked like it went through a war Just a couple of questions.... The bearings (6202rz). Do they come in various sizes or does that code correspond to a specific bearing size? And when putting it all back together,how do you know his tight to make the belt and do you just compare the threads to make sure the sides of the flywheel are equally tight? Has the bike held up? I'm in canada and I'm pretty sure the warranty isn't applicable. Thanks man! Again great vid!
Merry Christmas to you! Yes that is the size of the bearings with that part #. Concerning the belt, just tighten until it doesn't slip and looks lined up with the pulley on the rear.
@@ForceBuilt sounds good.thanks so much. That fix looks intimidating but i might try it. To be clear, I'm not damaging it more by not fixing the bearings right? It'll just have that slight vibration and noise correct if i did nothing? Is the bike still holding up for you?

I did everything to get the belt right and tight and the belt still rolls off the axle?! Could it be the threads on the belt being damaged ? Please anyone help me before I have to take it to a bike shop! All the nuts are acres on tight as can be and the flywheel is straight but the belt slides off ass I pedal still.
Will, You should be able to adjust the flywheel to where you can Make the belt come off either side(left or right). For instance, if the flywheel looks straight but comes off the right side, it can be adjusted so much that it will actually come off the left side.
FuturaForce yeah when I adjust it, it always seems to come off on the left side closest to the bike
@@Willthrill8 I will look at mine when I get home to see which way to adjust the belt. If it can't be stopped from coming off, then your belt is bad or something is really wrong with the bike.
FuturaForce thanks for the advice also I just got a new belt because the old belt had tears on the thread so I think that problem is solved, it's just frustrating to not keep it on the track, thanks again!
Ok, do this. Loosen both acorn nuts on the left and right of the flywheel (the ones on the axle). Then on your knees facing the front of the bike, loosen the nut on the belt side and tighten then nut on the nonbelt side. I would start with 2.5 rounds loosen on the belt side and 2.5 tight on the nonbelt side. This will cause the angle of the flywheel to change. Tighten the acorn nuts on each side of the flywheel. This should be able to make the belt stay on. Hope this helps

Hey there
Merry xmas! Great video! Very detailed. I just got this bike delivered yesterday. It took a month to get here and there were so many stops it made along the way, no wonder i have the same issue. The box looked like it went through a war
Just a couple of questions....
The bearings (6202rz). Do they come in various sizes or does that code correspond to a specific bearing size?
And when putting it all back together,how do you know his tight to make the belt and do you just compare the threads to make sure the sides of the flywheel are equally tight?
Has the bike held up?
I'm in canada and I'm pretty sure the warranty isn't applicable.
Thanks man! Again great vid!
Merry Christmas to you! Yes that is the size of the bearings with that part #. Concerning the belt, just tighten until it doesn't slip and looks lined up with the pulley on the rear.
@@ForceBuilt sounds good.thanks so much. That fix looks intimidating but i might try it. To be clear, I'm not damaging it more by not fixing the bearings right? It'll just have that slight vibration and noise correct if i did nothing?
Is the bike still holding up for you?
No additional damage if you use it like it is. May actually get better over time. Still holding up good! Thanks
