Hi, What is a fixed Flywheel on an exercise bike? Thanks Kerry? An exercise bike without resistance would be totally pointless. Take the chain off your regular bike and pedal away - that's what exercise bikes would be without resistance! You need resistance to pedal against. Exercise bikes create resistance by one of the following methods: Direct Tension - Manually adjust the resistance by turning knobs or adjusting a lever. Commonly found on inexpensive exercise bikes. Fly Wheels - A heavy wheel regulates resistance and ensures smooth operation. When you pedal, you create the kinetic energy needed to keep the wheel turning which creates resistance. This type of resistance is similar to regular bicycle peddling motion. Air - Resistance is created by pedaling against the flow of air from a fan built into the wheel. Magnetic - This is the most sophisticated and the best type of resistance. The magnetic resistance offers friction-free pedaling and allows the exerciser to effortlessly change the difficulty of the workout. Magnetic resistance is found mainly in high-end exercise bikes and is prodaminently used in the exercise bikes in health clubs. Travis http://www.mens-total-fitness.com...
