pedaler
this is a good product. the only problem is the plastic they used for the shell creaks when pedaling, and the more resistance, the more creaking. someone took it apart and lined the area where the two halves meet with electrical tape, and no more creaks. I plan to do that soon. once the creaks are gone, it will be almost silent.<br /><br />UPDATE: i just added the tape, and the creaking is gone. totally worth a few minutes' effort. I used black electrical tape so it is not really even visible. i just unscrewed all the screws on the one side, and put the tape along the smooth seams, on the side with the lip. Wrapped it around the lip so half the tape strip is outside, half inside. I didn't bother putting it on the parts of the seam where there are ridges in the plastic--just on the smooth parts was enough to take care of the noise. It was not necessary to remove the pedal cranks in order to accomplish this--there is enough space after you unscrew the one side to get the tape put on. Much more pleasant without the creaking. The quality of the mechanics looked solid while I had it open.
