Schwinn Airdyne owners

[AaronCF]

So, I picked up an Airdyne off Craigs List for $50... I've found that it's a 2001 model.

It's in great condition, I'm very happy with it. It is however missing a bushing where the pedal ties into the arm lever, making it a little sloppy on one side. I've also read that some owners take them into Schwinn dealers for a "tune up"...

My question is, what exactly is involved in this "tune up"...? If they're just going to spray the chain with some white lithium grease, I'll cut the middle man and do it myself. Also, how costly is this tune up, and have you had luck in ordering replacement parts such as this missing bushing?

you ever work on regular bikes? same thing for the most part. bushing shouldn't be more than a buck or two from any schwinn dealer, good one's might even have in stock.

My understanding is any bicycle store that sells Schwinn bikes can do the tune up. I just got mine this year as well and have not bothered to/needed to check it out.

I think it is very easy to get parts if you just call the dealer. Check the website or when you go to the bike store, let them know, they should be able to handle it.

Regardless, you make a great purchase. You will enjoy it for quite a while.
