Tap-tap-tap noise by exercise bike?

Question

I have an infiniti exercise bike and and it makes a tap-tap-tap noise

every time the wheels go round.

It is magnetically operated.

I lost the manual, but I remember it saying not to use machine oil in it, as it will clog it up and interfere with the magnetic technology.

I opened it up, it sounds as though it is coming from the smaller second wheel at the front.

How can I fix the tap-tap-tap noise?

Answer 1

it is friction caused by miss connection. see if you can re attach the second wheel

Answer 2

You could always put some music on so that the tap tap taping has something to tap to.

Answer 3

You can apply one or two drops of oil where the bearing is and hope that will be it. But have a thorough look to see if anything's touching anywhere as the wheel go round
