Yeah, too bad about the price. Fortunately the SF-B1876, at $600, has the same specifications except for the flywheel (40lb) and display. A great looking bike, and quite tempting. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks for doing this video. Disappointed on the price increase, but I will keep watching the price. Sounds like I can get two of the 1002s for the price of one 1805! Great video!!
Have you seen the Sunny 1877? It's $325, magnetic but flywheel is 29 lbs...would that be a no-go? This would be my first spin bike. Trying to decide which would be the best on a budget for a newbie to spin!? TYIA
Thank you for posting all of these great videos. As an upcoming first-time spin bike buyer they are most helpful. Have you had a chance to play with the Sunny SF-B1877? It has a 29# flywheel, HR monitor, magnetic resistance, and a performance monitor. Yet, it is cheaper than the SF-B1002.
Thanks for all the bike guides. Really do appreciate it as i will be buying my first indoor bike. Also has anyone told you that you look like Rob Schneider XD I mean that in the highest compliment form.
I Really want to buy either one of these but my main concern are all of the negative reviews on both of the bikes on amazon. Alot of them show terrible welds that have broken or a number of other faulty parts that have completely broken in a matter of months after using them. I completely understand im not buying a 2 thousand dollar stationary bike that would most likely last much longer. But I still dont know if I am willing to gamble 400 to 600 dollars for something that potentially wont even get me through a year.
Hi, which one is good for short people? I would like to get my mom the bike to help with her dementia, but she is 5 1. Thank You!!! I'm reading the reveiws on Amazon and people are saying its not good for short people.....could you make a best bikes for short people video?
Great reviews and comparisons. I now feel confident in choosing an inexpensive exercise bike. Couldn’t do it without you! Still undecided between Sunny and Joroto but will watch the full Joroto review and then decide. Thank you so much🙏🏼
I finally bought my bike! Yeah! I purchased the Sunny SF-B1805 yesterday using your link plus the wahoo cadence monitor and the Scosche HRM also with your links. Bike is getting delivered Wednesday and everything else Thursday. Thank you again for all your in-depth reviews. You helped me tremendously with my research on purchasing an at home cycling bike. Keep the videos coming and thanks again, you rock!! 🚴🏻♀️ 🤘🏽
@@bernpil4148 I’ve had no issues with the pedals and I’m still using the original pedals though I did purchase clip in pedals but I have not switched them out yet.
@@WhyTheHorseface I would buy this bike again. I don’t care about the leaderboard, my bike is paid for, I chromecast to my 55 inch TV from my phone using the app. This bike is amazing!!
Happy New Year everyone. Amazon did this with the pricing not long ago. They jacked it up for several days but then it dropped back down. It also goes the other way which is how I got my 1805. In October, I had been reading reviews and deciding between the Echelon Sport and the Sunny 1805 when I noticed the price had dropped about a $100 on the 1805 on a Monday. It kept dropping until Friday it was down to $465 and I bought it. It went back up to $599 by that Sunday. So watch it closely. I love the 1805. Great job with these videos, I don't get tired of watching them.
Really helpful! I had no idea the felt, leather, and magnet placements would make such a big differences. Just cancelled my existing order and bought the B1002 from your Amazon link. Pairing it with my Garmin Vector 3 power meter, it should make a very nice exercise bike 👍😁
lol Yup Sunny jacked up the price to take advantage of people's new years resolutions! About to delete it off my wish list and buy something else because I won't support that
@@christinepowers3350 Definitely some hogwash going on. At least you can get the Schwinn IC4 from Best Buy for $899... You can't get the Sunny anywhere else that I'm aware of
@@christinepowers3350 There's also a difference with the Schwinn pricing going up. At least what I've seen. Those prices are set by the third parties you are buying it from not sold by Amazon. Which of the time I checked are not available directly from Amazon warehouse which would mean they price them whatever and that's not Schwinn's fault. But the Sunny bike is sold by Amazon which means Sunny sets the pricing and they raised the prices. So a big difference between the 2 cases. Not sticking up for Schwinn because I don't own any of them
Great comparison video. No doubt the magnetic resistance is by far the best. I was thinking, while watching you crank the resistance on the B1002, that perhaps with the pressure being forced down on the flywheel, it could add wear to the wheel bearings. I may be wrong, but just wondering. On the magnetic type resistance, there is no downward pressure placed on the wheel, therefore no pressure placed on any bearings. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the 1805 around the $600 price point? Now it's selling on Amazon for $769.98. Are they taking advantage of people being home more due to the Pandemic? By the way, how does the 1805 stack up against the Joroto? I read many of the reviews on the Joroto, and they are very positive, especially with customer service.
I'm really glad I bought the 1805 yesterday... :D I saw the price AFTER new years hit and it dropped my jaw. And as others have stated the 1002 has dropped in price about 20-30 bucks.
Oh my god!!!!!!! Thanks so much for this awesome video. I’m getting my first ever exercise bike and was so confused and indecisive. Thanks to your other video on top budget exercise bikes, I thankfully have it narrowed down between these 2 ❤
I've been watching your comparisons. Thanks for making such awesome informative videos. Can you please compare the Sunny health SF-B1805 and the SF-B1714? I just can't figure out which one to get. I am looking for something that gives me good resistance and is sturdy. Please and thank you.
I think I can help a bit with the max weight aspect of the sunny versus the other one-I believe these manufacturer's specify the weight of someone sitting AND standing. So, even if the Sunny is beefier, the pedal cages can actually comes undone over a certain weight if they are in position 2 or 3.
I'm torn between Joroto x2 and b1002. I'm new to spin bike so not sure if I should spend the $600 for the 1805. Joroto x2 is $440 and the B1002 is $386 on Amazon. The B1002 seems more solid but the x2 seems more smooth? I'm 5 ft 7 and 210lbs btw.
We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.
Classic new year resolution fitness newbie here. So glad to find your channel even if the decision on what to buy is still not an easy one. Just curious if you could not use a SPEED output to correspond to the ever 'critical' cadence you always mention. RPM to Speed should be a simple calculation I would think.
Your videos have been so helpful to me. I think I’m choosing the SB1002 because it’s pretty much what I’m looking for. The only thing you didn’t mention is about short riders. I’m 5,3” and was worried after watching another review that mentioned the bike may be too tall for short riders. However, I just read an Amazon review from a rider who is 5’2”, and she mentioned she was worried of the height, but she loves it and is able to reach the pedals comfortably so I’m going for it. I will click your link as a thank you for this useful information, when I’m ready to make the purchase. Thank you!!! 🙏
Do you think you’ll review the pooboo and cyclace anytime soon? I am really enjoying and appreciating your reviews, but I’m currently stuck between the sunny, joroto, pooboo, and cyclace. Hoping to purchase soon, but I can’t find reviews on those 2 as thorough as yours.
Thank you so much for making these videos! My partner is 6’3” while I’m 5’0”. Would these 2 bikes accommodate our heights? We’re also looking at the echelon after your video!
@@xpy1999 I ended up purchasing the sunny 1877 it has great reviews and I think magnetic resistance from what I read is the way to go. If you are thinking of purchasing a bike from them I suggest getting it from their website they have a really awesome warranty and if you purchase through amazon it's only a year instead of 3 years
Hey dude, you mentioned that you're 6'5 and only 2 notches away from maximum saddle height.. Also not sure how "big" you are either, but I'm 6'9 and also "big" (325 lbs). Would these Sunny bikes really work for me? Or are you aware of other brand models that would work better for truly "big" guys like myself (as in heavy - I'm a LOT wider than you...)
I usually only watch bike guys who got at least 4-5 times the amt of bikes in background of their clips, but this is informative, so I will let it slide.
Q. Hello from the UK. Finally got hold of a Sunny 1805 bike off Amazon UK. Now, any good value bike is like gold dust in the UK at the moment as we are in lockdown probably till this March. Please can you advise how I can add additional features like heart rate monitors ,speed, calorie, Candance? Is there a "all in one" device with multiple sensors that could work well with the Sunny SF-B1805? Many thanks. Heath
Hi, Being a tall guy, I was hoping you could help me. I am 184 cm (6’1) tall with extra long legs. My new spin bike is great apart from one thing. The seat doesn’t go high enough. I know normal bikes have seat extenders but do spin bikes? If not, any hacks you could recommend? I have a LSG (SPG-220).
Thanks for great reviews! I’m thinking of buying the sunny sf-b1877. Can you please make a review first? I want to make sure I’m buying the perfect first, but looooong lasting indoor bike for me and my family. Thanks in advance!
After a year of daily riding my B1002 c-clip came off BUT it appears undamaged ? When I get my shaft puller will the clip be able to get me back riding. The C clips are out of stock till May.
Thank you for your videos on these Sunny bikes, the videos really helped me during my selection process! Unfortunately, I couldn't use your affiliate link on the bike but I will be using your affiliate links for the accessories. I ended up buying through a third-party seller on Walmart's website.
@@TailHappyTV I ordered the wahoo sensor through your affiliate link. Thanks for your work reviewing these bikes - really digging the 1805! I can even ride when it’s -12 outside :)
Great comparison- thanks. Do you have any comparisons of a belt drive vs a chain drive? I’d love to know the sound difference, maintenance, etc. I don’t think I have heard of you prefer one over the other.
Great video..just wondering if you heard of the WekeepSQ200S..you have alot of insight..on spin bikes..I want to buy a bike..but I want something pretty high end to my ..I spin on my Gaint hocked up to the machine..but want a spin bike for more use 3 -4 days a week..thanks
We just got the sunny 1002. You mention a cadence monitor in most, if not all your vids. I’m new to cycling and I’m thinking of getting one but I’m wondering do I need a speed and cadence monitor or just cadence? From what I read Cadence is the speed at which you pedal, so does that make the speed monitor obsolete? I’m using it for weight loss and I’m wondering if tracking these metrics are going to help or if I should just get on and cycle. Also, what tablet holders do you recommend? Thanks! P.s this is open to anyone who can help
we use amzn.to/38QGHnv tablet holder cadence is more important for following a peloton class since they call out specific ranges to be in. speed is pretty irrelevant on indoor exercise bikes but could be beneficial as a gauge of how hard you are working, but i would argue a Heart rate monitor and cadence are your two most useful metrics
Your videos are really informative! I just purchased the sunny B1805 and wanted to know if you have a link to the RED spd clip plate that's featured in this video?? I want to have a dual pedal setup so my husband can also use it. I prefer clip-in like those in spin class. The amazon link you provided seems to be the screw in clip-on pedal?
Hi and Thank you for your excellent and indepth review of these bikes. I have just ordered the Sbf1002 from Amazon UK who had it available on a special price today of GBP 170 Thanks again
From the video I see the resistance is good enough. If anyone else has used it did it feel strong enough for you? I'm a 6'3, 235 guy! I did see a comment on another page that if you're a stronger rider its not enough. If I wanted to get stronger magnets how would I know what to buy?
Yep bummed that the price of the 1805 increased by $170 to $769 but the 1002 price decreased to $334.99 on Amazon. You mentioned with the B1002 there’s maintenance with the leather resistance, what kind of maintenance is there? Thanks again for the videos! Still decided on which bike I want to buy and your videos are my go to for comparing bikes. I’m thinking about the Schwinn IC3 & IC4; Echelon Connect, and one of the Sunny bikes. I really like the B1002 for the price. The B1805 was a big contender but with the price increase I started comparing the Sunny Endurance and the Synergy and Synergy Pro. Just trying to get the most bang for my buck. Happy New Year 🥳!
Happy New Year! It’s Mr. Wilson...got a new phone and have no clue what my TH-cam password was and had to create a new channel.(I know you care). Is the resistance knob on the 1805 smooth, or are there a couple of “jerky” spots where it seems like it gets hung up. My 1879 starts smooth, then about 4 turns in it feels like it’s cross threaded or something, then smooth again. Not a major complaint..just an annoyance. One thing I would love nine makers to incorporate is a dropper post like on mountain bikes. I’ve had a few times where I almost impaled myself when I was out of the saddle and really working. Dropping the seat all the way would make me feel a lot more comfortable.
Interesting idea on the dropper post. I wonder if a conversation kit to adapt a standard seat post could be made. The 1805 does not have any hang up spots on the resistance knob. Too bad you lost the old pw. I'm sure there is a way to recover it!
Great video - Do you happen to know if all Sunny bikes have a really high adjustable seat height for tall people? Specifically, does the "Sunny Health & Fitness Evolution Pro II" (SF-B1986) also provide a similar seat height as the bikes in this video? Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see that bike on your review. Thanks!
@@TailHappyTV Wow - thanks for the response! Happy Thanksgiving. I went down a rabbit hole or maybe a happy trail of bike review vids today 🤣 thanks again.
Is the 1002 just as smooth as the 1805? If the sound does not bother me, does the 1002 the same or better than the 1805 since it has a heavier flywheel?
the magnetic 1805 is more smooth, which is most notable at higher resistances, but the 1002 is about as good as it gets for a friction resistance bike. ultimately the 1805 is for sure the better bike
Great job! The 1002 is now up to $549. Do you still think that's a good deal or is there a better value at that price? I have a Fitbit so I don't care about an LCD screen.
I’ve binged your videos, but I’m still undecided on a bike. I’m trying to find a bike that displays cadence and resistance. I’m realizing that resistance is hard to find on an affordable bike. I’m looking at no more than $900. Do you have any recommendations?? I’m leaning toward the schwinn ic4
the ic4 has all that you ask for in the price range too. thanks for watching my videos! the echelon connect sport also has the same metrics which im sure you've seen, but less expensive. the ic4 is the better bike though, but those water bottle holders are kind of annoying... lol, hope this helps..
Neither of these bikes show you your cadence, in order to see cadence you need to buy a separate cadence sensor and hook it up to an app on your phone. I use the wahoo cadence sensor. Hope this helps
Enjoy your videos, base on your recommendations I end up getting the 1805. Great bike. 👍🏿. I notice you stated I’m able to get the SPD clip in attachments. Been searching all over can’t seem to find them.
Good reviews however you really need to mention the Q-factor size for the bikes. I have the SF-B1002, and while it is nice and sturdy, it has a massive Q-factor (215 mm I believe) which is way more than a regular road or mountain bike.
Happy new year! ps sorry I think Sunny changed the price on the 1805 today, maybe it will go back to $600 soon? ps sound comparison is near the end. Happy riding in 2021, excited for this year!

Your videos have been so helpful to me. I think I’m choosing the SB1002 because it’s pretty much what I’m looking for. The only thing you didn’t mention is about short riders. I’m 5,3” and was worried after watching another review that mentioned the bike may be too tall for short riders. However, I just read an Amazon review from a rider who is 5’2”, and she mentioned she was worried of the height, but she loves it and is able to reach the pedals comfortably so I’m going for it. I will click your link as a thank you for this useful information, when I’m ready to make the purchase. Thank you!!! 🙏
thanks, Karla! Glad I could help
Do you think you’ll review the pooboo and cyclace anytime soon? I am really enjoying and appreciating your reviews, but I’m currently stuck between the sunny, joroto, pooboo, and cyclace. Hoping to purchase soon, but I can’t find reviews on those 2 as thorough as yours.
How long does the leather pad lasts on this bike, considering 1 hour use daily, any idea ?
Thank you so much for making these videos! My partner is 6’3” while I’m 5’0”. Would these 2 bikes accommodate our heights? We’re also looking at the echelon after your video!
I have been looking at the sunny 1879 and sunny 1877. They are both magnetic tension. Would you recommend this over the leather or felt resistance ?
I am comparing them too. Seems the only difference being 29 vs 30 pound flying wheel.
@@xpy1999 I ended up purchasing the sunny 1877 it has great reviews and I think magnetic resistance from what I read is the way to go. If you are thinking of purchasing a bike from them I suggest getting it from their website they have a really awesome warranty and if you purchase through amazon it's only a year instead of 3 years
Hey dude, you mentioned that you're 6'5 and only 2 notches away from maximum saddle height.. Also not sure how "big" you are either, but I'm 6'9 and also "big" (325 lbs). Would these Sunny bikes really work for me? Or are you aware of other brand models that would work better for truly "big" guys like myself (as in heavy - I'm a LOT wider than you...)
I’d look into the Nordictrack s22i, it’s like the largest most sturdy bike I’ve reviewed
The 1805 is now $769, happy new year.
It’s back to $599 now :)
I usually only watch bike guys who got at least 4-5 times the amt of bikes in background of their clips, but this is informative, so I will let it slide.
LOL
Q. Hello from the UK. Finally got hold of a Sunny 1805 bike off Amazon UK. Now, any good value bike is like gold dust in the UK at the moment as we are in lockdown probably till this March. Please can you advise how I can add additional features like heart rate monitors ,speed, calorie, Candance?
Is there a "all in one" device with multiple sensors that could work well with the Sunny SF-B1805?
Many thanks. Heath
Thanks again for the great video. If I were to purchase the SF-B1002, would I be able to mount later, the magnetic resistance shoe to it? Thanks.
Hi. What do you think of the new SF-B18005SMART magnetic indoor cycling bike. My pooboo died in me. So I’m looking for a new bike. I’m a beginner
Hi,
Being a tall guy, I was hoping you could help me. I am 184 cm (6’1) tall with extra long legs. My new spin bike is great apart from one thing. The seat doesn’t go high enough. I know normal bikes have seat extenders but do spin bikes? If not, any hacks you could recommend? I have a LSG (SPG-220).
Sunny B1002 is now $215 on amazon. I ordered through your link and will let you know how it goes. Thanks.
Hello TailHappyTV. Would you say the SF-B1714 is better than the SF-B1805? Their model numbers are features are kind of all over the place.
Thanks for great reviews! I’m thinking of buying the sunny sf-b1877. Can you please make a review first? I want to make sure I’m buying the perfect first, but looooong lasting indoor bike for me and my family. Thanks in advance!
After a year of daily riding my B1002 c-clip came off BUT it appears undamaged ? When I get my shaft puller will the clip be able to get me back riding. The C clips are out of stock till May.
Thank you for your videos on these Sunny bikes, the videos really helped me during my selection process! Unfortunately, I couldn't use your affiliate link on the bike but I will be using your affiliate links for the accessories. I ended up buying through a third-party seller on Walmart's website.
thanks! enjoy the bike!
Picked up the 1002 for 249. Black friday 2022
Sweeet
Where do you store the bikes when they're not in your main living space? :D I imagine you don't leave them there.
lol, you'd be surprised... what you see is how they are stored
@@TailHappyTV I ordered the wahoo sensor through your affiliate link. Thanks for your work reviewing these bikes - really digging the 1805! I can even ride when it’s -12 outside :)
You can make video bitween Sunny SF-B1002 vs KeiserM3i thank's...
Just purchase the 1002 on amazon for 216!!! Thanks for the awesome review.
Please a review of sunny B1877!!! Love your channel. Thanks so much
Please a review of sunny B1877!!! Love your channel. Thanks so much
The only thing that stops me from buying Sunny bike is that the warrantee isn’t valid in Canada. 😕
Great comparison- thanks. Do you have any comparisons of a belt drive vs a chain drive? I’d love to know the sound difference, maintenance, etc. I don’t think I have heard of you prefer one over the other.
Dude how many bikes do you own??? And how do you cook dinner in that kitchen?😂😂😂
Great video..just wondering if you heard of the WekeepSQ200S..you have alot of insight..on spin bikes..I want to buy a bike..but I want something pretty high end to my ..I spin on my Gaint hocked up to the machine..but want a spin bike for more use 3 -4 days a week..thanks
How do you feel about the Sunny Pro II (the B1995), which has the 40lb flywheel, physical resistance and a small screen with some stats?
I wanna purchase the 1805. I just wanna know if my wife can use it. She is short and her inseam is 26”.
Can magnetic one fully lock the fly wheel as the friction ones does?
I got rid of my sunny. Because once I stop it stops. I want it to keep me going.
We just got the sunny 1002. You mention a cadence monitor in most, if not all your vids. I’m new to cycling and I’m thinking of getting one but I’m wondering do I need a speed and cadence monitor or just cadence? From what I read Cadence is the speed at which you pedal, so does that make the speed monitor obsolete?
I’m using it for weight loss and I’m wondering if tracking these metrics are going to help or if I should just get on and cycle.
Also, what tablet holders do you recommend? Thanks!
P.s this is open to anyone who can help
we use amzn.to/38QGHnv tablet holder
cadence is more important for following a peloton class since they call out specific ranges to be in. speed is pretty irrelevant on indoor exercise bikes but could be beneficial as a gauge of how hard you are working, but i would argue a Heart rate monitor and cadence are your two most useful metrics
@@TailHappyTV ok thank you very much for the reply. Will take a look at the tablet holder too
Your videos are really informative! I just purchased the sunny B1805 and wanted to know if you have a link to the RED spd clip plate that's featured in this video?? I want to have a dual pedal setup so my husband can also use it. I prefer clip-in like those in spin class. The amazon link you provided seems to be the screw in clip-on pedal?
I love your videos -- I think I am settled on the Sunny brand. I am totally new to spinning. How would the SF_B1714 compare to the B1805?
Hi and Thank you for your excellent and indepth review of these bikes. I have just ordered the Sbf1002 from Amazon UK who had it available on a special price today of GBP 170
Thanks again
awesome! hope you enjoy
exercise bike to not crush your reproductive nerves and organs...recommendations
A wider bike seat, like on the echelon GT+
From the video I see the resistance is good enough. If anyone else has used it did it feel strong enough for you? I'm a 6'3, 235 guy! I did see a comment on another page that if you're a stronger rider its not enough. If I wanted to get stronger magnets how would I know what to buy?
is there something wrong with bearings on 1002?
Thanks for you useful videos A question it's possible change the friction resistance to magnetic resistance on spinning bike There is a way.....
it's not practical to do so really, but could theoretically be possible
Outstanding video. You totally broke that down Crayola style. Good looking out. When I buy, I will for sure use your link.
very detailed and good informative review, cheers bro🤘
Thanks for your videos! I have the 1002 and I feel like the resistance is hard to monitor when I’m taking classes.
Thanks for the videos. Very informative and helped me settle on the Sunny SF-B1805. Did my first ride on it today and am really pleased with it.
Yep bummed that the price of the 1805 increased by $170 to $769 but the 1002 price decreased to $334.99 on Amazon. You mentioned with the B1002 there’s maintenance with the leather resistance, what kind of maintenance is there? Thanks again for the videos! Still decided on which bike I want to buy and your videos are my go to for comparing bikes. I’m thinking about the Schwinn IC3 & IC4; Echelon Connect, and one of the Sunny bikes. I really like the B1002 for the price. The B1805 was a big contender but with the price increase I started comparing the Sunny Endurance and the Synergy and Synergy Pro. Just trying to get the most bang for my buck. Happy New Year 🥳!
For maintenance, you might need oil the leather pad from time to time, or replace it
Hello my Bike Guy
Are you going to review the Bowflex bike?
Happy New Year! It’s Mr. Wilson...got a new phone and have no clue what my TH-cam password was and had to create a new channel.(I know you care).
Is the resistance knob on the 1805 smooth, or are there a couple of “jerky” spots where it seems like it gets hung up.
My 1879 starts smooth, then about 4 turns in it feels like it’s cross threaded or something, then smooth again. Not a major complaint..just an annoyance.
One thing I would love nine makers to incorporate is a dropper post like on mountain bikes. I’ve had a few times where I almost impaled myself when I was out of the saddle and really working. Dropping the seat all the way would make me feel a lot more comfortable.
Interesting idea on the dropper post. I wonder if a conversation kit to adapt a standard seat post could be made. The 1805 does not have any hang up spots on the resistance knob. Too bad you lost the old pw. I'm sure there is a way to recover it!
Appreciate it brother! Watched a ton of your other videos before deciding and ordered the 1805 through your link to show my appreciation
Can u compare the echelon connect and the sunny b1002 ?
I use the b1002 with the peloton app. I just estimate resistance. I am happy with it.
It’s all you really need, happy riding dude!
Great video - Do you happen to know if all Sunny bikes have a really high adjustable seat height for tall people? Specifically, does the "Sunny Health & Fitness Evolution Pro II" (SF-B1986) also provide a similar seat height as the bikes in this video? Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see that bike on your review. Thanks!
In general they do, but I never tried that model
@@TailHappyTV Wow - thanks for the response! Happy Thanksgiving. I went down a rabbit hole or maybe a happy trail of bike review vids today 🤣 thanks again.
I wonder how good customer service on Sunny bikes for parts.
Is the 1002 just as smooth as the 1805? If the sound does not bother me, does the 1002 the same or better than the 1805 since it has a heavier flywheel?
the magnetic 1805 is more smooth, which is most notable at higher resistances, but the 1002 is about as good as it gets for a friction resistance bike. ultimately the 1805 is for sure the better bike
Great job! The 1002 is now up to $549. Do you still think that's a good deal or is there a better value at that price? I have a Fitbit so I don't care about an LCD screen.
549 is too much for the 1002 in my opinion
I’ve binged your videos, but I’m still undecided on a bike. I’m trying to find a bike that displays cadence and resistance. I’m realizing that resistance is hard to find on an affordable bike. I’m looking at no more than $900. Do you have any recommendations??
I’m leaning toward the schwinn ic4
the ic4 has all that you ask for in the price range too. thanks for watching my videos! the echelon connect sport also has the same metrics which im sure you've seen, but less expensive. the ic4 is the better bike though, but those water bottle holders are kind of annoying... lol, hope this helps..
Which one is the best
1805, but costs more too
Would you recommend a handle bar extender for the sb1002? My wife has some trouble reaching the handle without hurting her back
im sorry, i would check amazon, im sure there are some decent ones on there at a good price
Unfortunately you never showed where you see your cadence very important point missing and how you did the connection.....
Neither of these bikes show you your cadence, in order to see cadence you need to buy a separate cadence sensor and hook it up to an app on your phone. I use the wahoo cadence sensor. Hope this helps
How are you seeing cadence?
Enjoy your videos, base on your recommendations I end up getting the 1805. Great bike. 👍🏿. I notice you stated I’m able to get the SPD clip in attachments. Been searching all over can’t seem to find them.
I can't find them either other than from china on ebay for too much money
Hello people can you replace the saddle on the B1002 with any saddle on the Amazon or does it have to be a certain version?
Yes sir! I replaced the seat on mine with one off of eBay. It was easy
Good reviews however you really need to mention the Q-factor size for the bikes. I have the SF-B1002, and while it is nice and sturdy, it has a massive Q-factor (215 mm I believe) which is way more than a regular road or mountain bike.
noted, thanks for your feedback!
So your feet sit further apart (wide stance) on the sfb1002?
