Skip the DIY Frustration
Exercise bikes are brilliant for home fitness - no gym membership, no weather excuses. But they arrive in heavy boxes with dozens of parts. Assembled wrong, they rock, squeak, or feel off. Which puts you off using them.
💡 The secret to a good ride? Stability first. A bike that rocks or wobbles during high-intensity sessions is annoying and potentially unsafe.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Socket set or adjustable spanner
- Allen keys (various sizes)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Spirit level
📐 Key steps
- Clear large floor space for parts
- Follow instruction sequence exactly
- Don't fully tighten until frame complete
- Level once in final position
- Test resistance before fitting covers
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Tightening before frame complete
- Not levelling feet properly
- Pedals on wrong sides (L/R marked)
- Not testing before declaring done
💡 Pro trick: Pedals are threaded differently - right pedal threads clockwise, left pedal threads counter-clockwise. If you're struggling to fit a pedal, check you've got the right one for each side.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
📍 Position before assembly - Exercise bikes are heavy once built. Decide exactly where you'll use it (TV angle, ventilation, floor protection).
Floor protection:
- Mat protects flooring from sweat
- Dampens noise for downstairs neighbours
- Rubber mats work best
Maintenance:
- Tighten pedals monthly
- Check bolts after first few weeks
- Wipe down after use (sweat damages components)
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of exercise bike do you assemble?
All types - spin bikes, upright, recumbent, and air bikes. Each has its own challenges. Whatever you've bought, I can build it.
Will you adjust the bike to fit me?
Yes - proper fit prevents injury. I'll adjust seat height, handlebar position, and show you how to fine-tune it. If multiple people use it, I'll show everyone how to adjust.
My bike rocks when I pedal hard - can you fix it?
Usually. Rocking is typically uneven floor or levelling feet needing adjustment. I can stabilise most bikes properly.
Can you connect to apps like Peloton or Zwift?
If your bike has Bluetooth or ANT+ connectivity, yes. I'll pair it with your device and test the connection.
