(More customer reviews)The Star Trac 4730 is, in four ways that beautifully complement each other, "the Bike from the Nether Regions." First, the parts were manufactured in China, and this means bolts and screws that are stripped or strip easily. The defective quality of these parts compounds the difficulty of assembling the bike. Second, as you assemble the bike you realize that the manuals which are supposed to guide you were written and illustrated by someone who never tested their instructions to see if they work. As a result, the manuals contain profound errors in the sequencing of steps needed to complete the assembly. If your idea of a good time is following instructions, then repeatedly having to undo and redo your work as you realize what the proper sequence of steps has to be - not to mention that you will have to obtain replacements from Star Trac for the parts that got stripped during the assembly process - you will love this bike. Third, even if you work as carefully as I did to connect the cables (wires) that feed the LCD display, you may find, as I did, that you get an error message when you try to program the bike for your specific workout regimen and that your attempts at programming have the unintended consequence of rendering your bike unusable because the resistance level becomes unalterably fixed at a level higher than one you find comfortable. Fourth, if you think your warranty is going to rescue you, think again: it may, but not easily. The 4730 is considered by Star Trac to be a consumer division rather than a commercial division product. What this means to you is that your only practical recourse, in the event your bike turns out to be defective, is to find a local Star Trac authorized service provider willing to come to your home to fix your bike. Star Trac will not help you with that process; they insist that you work with your reseller if you require assistance. In my own case, I was lucky, because I managed to find such a provider on my own, and I am coordinating with Allen at Alive Outside, the excellent company from which I purchased my bike, to arrange for Alive Outside to pay that service provider (Allen will then hopefully obtain at least a partial reimbursement from Star Trac). Allen arranged for Star Trac to ship certain currently available replacement parts to me (a servo motor and wiring harness) before the service provider comes to my home, but these parts may not be the cause of the problem; instead, the cause could turn out to be the LCD display itself, which is on backorder. This convoluted warranty process is Excellent Reason #4 for you to avoid the mistake that I made, which was to buy this "Bike from the Nether Regions."
