Tacx i-Magic creak/rock

Are you saying it was rock steady from the beginning and then recently started rocking? I have a
brand new Tacx Swing trainer and it rocks the whole time unless I pedal smoothly. I just kinda
figured this was good feedback for when I had good roundpedaling. I believe the Swing and Imagic
stands are fairly identical.

The bike will rock back and forth when you're on the road and out of the saddle for instance. Why
wouldn't it do that in the trainer.

Don't tighten your supports to hard. That will only bend them outwards. Mine are tightened so
that they barely go all the way in and I have no tension whatsoever when twisting the locking
handle in place.

Anyone else have this problem with theirs? Do I have to worry about the integrity of the welds in
the future (or is the future now?)?

I get creaking on my Tacx Basic Ergo unit as well. Nothing terrible, just a little bit of rocking.
The resistance unit is top notch and quiet. No worries.
