2 months for a Lemon
I ordered a bike on July 21st, 2020. Fully understanding that the supply/demand chain during Covid is making things very difficult for manufacturers/suppliers. That said, Precor told me the bike would ship in 1-2 weeks. Well they told me that 4 times until it finally shipped a 7 weeks after I ordered it and paid in full. I had to call a sales representative who told me that they could ship me the 'Spin Climb' instead of the bike I ordered because it was in stock. She also told me it was a better bike for the money. OK! let's do it. The bike shows, up on a Friday. I put it together and it clearly has some manufacturing issues. The belt drive is misaligned and potentially the flywheel. It sounds awful, grinding, loud, awful etc.... I call customer service and they don't work Fridays. It's a long weekend so I wait until Tuesday to get a hold of someone. They start a 'case #' and send a tech out on Thursday morning. He thinks it's a simple belt adjustment. Well it IS not. He had to remove the flywheel and reinstall it. The service tech was quite good and friendly, but the bike is still incredibly loud and to me doesn't seem to work correctly. I'm not sure he actually did anything at all.... the flywheel still looks to rotate in a cockeyed manner. The sales team went radio silent of course once the bike shipped. Something is wrong with this bike in a manufacturing.
