This worked, thanks 👍🏼 For anyone else trying this, lot the Maxi climber on its side, it's much easier to hold all the parts in place and align the bolt when replacing it. WD40 didn't work at all, I used silicon grease 👍🏼
Besides squeaking have you experienced another issue with the maxiclimber? I bought mine about two months ago and just last week i began having this issue that cuts my exercise to only 5 mins because of how unbearable it gets. I started noticing the pedals would rub on the metal and scrape its sides. Didnt put much thought to it until the friction between the pedals and the metal was too much it caused each step to be bumpy because the plastic would stick on the metal because of the heat. Have you experienced this?
No other issues with it besides the squeaking. I did notice the metal scraped off the sides but mines didn't have the bumpy feeling or maybe I never really noticed because my main focus was on the intolerable noise it made.
Would it have been easier to drop some WD40 into the port? That’s quite a tweak for such a squeek. ...just curious... I’m considering this machine and read reviews of this exact problem.
I bought mine June 2020, started at 3min, then 5min. at a time; At present time am doing at least an hour every other day and I have noticed that it fells like the cord is GETTIN STUCK, breaking, non-smooth,. a "Bumpy ride". I do not see any debris underneath.., any comments on what could be causing the "rough pedaling"?, thanks! (btw I bought the CLASSIC).
It does feel bumpy after a lot of use, it's normal and it doesn't botherme. The rollers are the problem. You can always call customer service so they can send you new ones.
@@SantosFamily Thanks!, just sharing..,I went for an hour 10-speed bike ride at HB CA (BY THE PIER) 29Aug 2020., felt great!!, this last Saturday 5Sept. 2020 did a close to an hour run.., actually 30 min up and 20 minutes back (same distance both ways Except it took me 10 minutes less on the way back!)., My Maxiclimber has really made a difference in my Life!, "-Never said it would be easy but Am telling you..,It is going to be worth it!!".
Can someone please help? I have used the MaxiClimber for 7months now and I found that it’s getting harder to use as the left pedal seems really stiff ( the inner metal is also getting scraped as I see black residue in the floor), the MaxiClimber is squeaky badly too!
Well you know where the cable is attached right to the bottom of the steps yeah the thing there is like over used and I need new ones to replace it cause mine scrapes the metal bar
The company should have created an access port or a greaseless gear that is rediculous how long did your service of their machine last? Thank you for the warning seems like they the company needs to improve on this.
Connie Smith I am not going to lie but I was very sad and disappointed that it happened. It started at around 2-3 weeks from purchased date. I still don't regret purchasing the maxiclimber.
Can someone please direct me to the roller replacement instructions for the XL? I love the MaxiClimber for all the reasons noted, used it for the last 3 years, so bought 3 of them now, including the new XL. I am a serious fitness guy, so use mine on a regular basis. What most advertisements do not tell you is that the rollers wear out with continued use. On the positive side, the MaxiClimber Parts Department, sold me a low cost 3 year warranty part replacement for their basic model. Now the rollers have worn on my XL, and I am pleased their Parts Dept. promptly sent me a replacement set of new rollers which are still under a 1 year warranty, so this was good. They do not have a 3 year warranty available for their XL at this time. The Parts Dept. however, was unable to tell me how to replace the XL rollers (different from the basic model rollers), said replacement instructions would be included, but no such instructions were included and I am uncertain how to replace them at this time. Can someone please direct me to the roller replacement instructions for the XL? (FYI, the basic MaxiClimber and XL , each use a different quantity, 6 vs. 8 respectfully, and different type of rollers, so make sure you request the proper ones for your model when needed.) Otherwise, these are fantastic machines for many reasons!
@@3RDDEG What a sad deal, sell us their great XL machine but Customer Service is unable to provide any help on roller replacement. So I have still not received any guidance on how to change the rollers on my XL. Any luck on your end?
I just bought mine yesterday and it’s squeaking right out of the box. I bought WD40 thinking I could fix it that way. I wish I saw this video before purchase, I would not have bought it. Now I have spent the money and can’t use it until I find someone with the tools to fix it.
The problem I face is that there is a LOT of friction and rubbing being caused from the up/down. I can see bits black pieces from the wheel as it rubs on the pole. Recently, I have sprayed some lubricant on it. This seems to work, but I have to re-apply. Is there any grease that I can use which will not quickly fade away due to the heat caused by the friction of going up/down? TIA
@@bethann2165 Don't what made me check this out today. I haven't used it since my last post. Thanks for the info. I'm afraid that new rollers won't be much better. This problem I mentioned started happening from first use. Maybe I can find much better rollers at Home Depot, or another store. I will try that avenue. Thanks again.
I have a problem where the metal is constantly scratching the inner metal every time I push down on it and this has caused it to get scratched and is starting to become harder to use

BEST FIX IS TO DRILL OUT HOLE TO FIT A STANDARD SIZED SELF LUBRICATING BRONZE BUSHING. PRESSING IN A SELF LUBRICATING BRONZE BUSHING WOULD BE THE BEST LONG TERM FIX. A PETROLIUM BASE LUBE ON PLASTIC IS NOT A GOOD FIX SINCE PLASTIC IS MADE OF PETROLIUM IT WILL NOT LAST FOR YEARS AND YEARS

I was spraying W-D between the screws. You're a genius! I never would have figured this out. It worked! Thank you!

Are you still having the same problem?

Vincent S I am not so sure, grease is what we had in hand and its been a couple of months since we put grease on it and haven't had a problem since.😄
My exact thoughts mate

Maybe you need to replace the rollers. See other YT videos.
I just assembled my xl and it doesn't squeak but it's not smooth at all
So glad I read the comments and saw this video, thank you! I hope the one I get will only need regular oil and that’s all.
How long did you have it before it started sqeaking?
Darcey DeRosa Around 3 weeks
I knew it was the wheel, but the didn’t think to take it out and use grease. I’m gonna try that. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Well you know where the cable is attached right to the bottom of the steps yeah the thing there is like over used and I need new ones to replace it cause mine scrapes the metal bar
I got the same thing, its scrapping against the bar and jamming up.

Connie Smith So in other words.. For new owners just add this step at the initial set up
It's only a year warranty on it. Had mine for 3yrs before it started squeaking. Purchased from Amazon

I have the same problem. Customer service no more help than a potted plant. How did you fix it?

Oh man, I am so sorry to hear that. I honestly didn't have any squeaky issues right out the box.
Due to the amount of stress on that plastic pulley it should have a ball bearing insert.

If you email maxiclimber they sell spare rollers from what I heard on another TH-cam channel.

Brenda Jaimes Thank you.😙

The inner metal on mines is also scratched. Have you tried putting some grease? It helps a lot.
Same thing has been happening to mine. Started right when I bought it :/
I tried the grease. Did not work.
my parents have one and they want to know how to make the maxiclimberfun
PokeBasic Network Watching a favorite tv show or listening to music that will pump you up. 🙂
Thank you
hola yo recien compre la mia donde se compra esa grasa y para q sirve
angie guevara Hola y que emocion que y compraste una. La grasa se compra en cual quier auto partes o walmart. Y sirve para quitarle el rechinido que hacia mi maquina.
Gracias
My maxiclimber doesn't read my calories is it fixable?
Have you replaced the battery?
@@SantosFamily i can still see some numbers but i can't read them because they are only half of numbers or dots but I'll try a new battery thank you
cool video, but if its assembled right with a little grease, WD40 or CRC, all should be cool in the world...haha. Thanks
Hahaha, absolutely.😃
Thank You :)
Thank you.😆
El mio rechina pero porque se esta desgastando de los lados? El tuyo era por lo mismo? 😟
La mía también empezo acer eso🙄 me recomendaron comprarle nuevos🙃
Si se desgastan pero no fue necesario cambiarlos. La grasa ayudo bastante.
BEST FIX IS TO DRILL OUT HOLE TO FIT A STANDARD SIZED SELF LUBRICATING BRONZE BUSHING. PRESSING IN A SELF LUBRICATING BRONZE BUSHING WOULD BE THE BEST LONG TERM FIX. A PETROLIUM BASE LUBE ON PLASTIC IS NOT A GOOD FIX SINCE PLASTIC IS MADE OF PETROLIUM IT WILL NOT LAST FOR YEARS AND YEARS
So use silicone grease instead
