praxillura's Full Review: NordicTrack Exercise Bike TRL 625
Bought a SL720 in 2005. I liked most of the features of the bike, although the heart rate monitor never worked properly. Used it mostly at low resistance levels just for a light work-out. Recently the crank assembly broke, and the pedals now turn with no resistance and just a loud cracking sound. From what I've seen on other forums, this defect seems to be common with this bike. I bought it from Sears and they quoted about $200 for the crank assembly and another 150 to 200 for the service tech. So we're looking at about $400 to fix the thing with no guarantee the problem won't happen again. Sears says there was no recall of this machine. I believe the crank assembly of these machines is simply not robust enough to withstand significant riding. Well designed maybe, but made of inferior materials. This one is going into the recycling bin.
