V-Fit cycles

Hi Hope I am posting in correct place? I just purchased a V-Fit exercise cycle - "Mexico" model from Argos. It's my second cycle from them, was all set to get a snazzy one from VJ's in Clonsilla but it was too big to put in the apartment! Anyway, I only paid € 120 for it but would like to know if anyone else has one and if…

Hi

Hope I am posting in correct place? I just purchased a V-Fit exercise cycle - "Mexico" model from Argos. It's my second cycle from them, was all set to get a snazzy one from VJ's in Clonsilla but it was too big to put in the apartment! Anyway, I only paid € 120 for it but would like to know if anyone else has one and if the tension on yours is ok? Mine seems really, really light, too easy. I am cycling apparently at 16 - 18 miles an hour which is just ridiculous cos I ain't that fit. I don't feel I am getting any work out on it, and before you ask, yes I have the tension gauge all the way up to highest level. On the last one I had, the tension gauge sat at 4 and I was able to cycle about 9 miles an hour to begin with and get up to an average of 14 miles per hour full throttle to complete about 6 miles in 30 minutes, this felt fine and like I had actually done something. Unfortunately the belt went on it and it's been dumped now and I've bought this one. After twelve miles in about 27 minutes last night I felt like going out for a run, it was so easy, anyone have one or know if there's a way of adjusting the tension? I'm hoping so because otherwise you have to send it back and that is such a hassle, it'd have to go to England. Anyone know anything about them? Thanks if you can assist....
