Additional question about Keiser’s M3
Listener Tara Page wrote me with a question about Podcast #47 with Dennis Keiser:
Hello, I really enjoy your podcast, thank you for the production. I listen to them on my way to teach. It makes me feel motivated and often gives me items to share and use with my participants.
I wanted to follow up to this one podcast in particular. Our club got these bikes in the spring this year. The members are saying the gear tension varies among the bikes. I was pleased to hear Dennis talk of this issue and he suggested a way to remedy it by moving the gear handle up and down five times etc. Upon arriving at the club, I tried it and was disappointed it did not work. The numbers flashed zero and not the number “five “ I believe he suggested. Maybe he is talking about another version of the M3 Computer? Just an FYI. Maybe he could follow up again with additional information.
Dennis Keiser offered this response:
Hi Tara,
John forwarded me your email so that I could hopefully help you with your concern.
