Vision Fitness Recumbent Bike Noise - jonesct96 - 05-04-2016
I have removed the covers from my Vision Fitness R2200HRT - RB42 and have identified a humming noise that appears to becoming from the flywheel axle/bearings. Humming noise only occurs while coasting or pedaling backwards (no friction by design when pedaling backwards).
Does this sound like the flywheel bearings are likely the cause of the noise.
I see where the flywheel bearings for this machine are sold as a pair. If I replace one or both of these, is this an easy remove and install of the flywheel bearings for a DIYer?
Thanks!

Thanks jimbo97. I actually ended up returning the Vision Fitness bike. I purchased a Precor C846i recumbent bike that has a clicking noise when pedaling...ugh. Any thoughts on like source of noise - definitely coming from the large wheel area. I assume its a bearing. Are there any cheap fixes/parts I could try?
