Noisy wife ..
Hi All,
Well, not the wife (this time) but her exercise bike ;-) It's quite a nice Tunturi Ergometer 420 (she's getting ready for when we go out on our solo's / tandem this year) but it squeeks a bit now. It uses a flat, toothed belt (like a cambelt) to drive the magnetic 'friction' flywheel and as that gently drifts against the guide / tension rollers it gives of a sort of rhythmic squeak. The makers suggest the use of talc (on the drive belt g) and that does work but not for very long? I believe the front toothed wheel is a sort of plastic / nylon as is the (smooth) tension roller but I think the rear drive gear / roller clutch is alloy. Any tribologists out there? All the best ..
