Squeak Resolution

After weeks of recumbent bike research I chose the Schwinn SR23 over comparable models based on the many available reviews and personal testing. Personally picked it up at the local Sears to avoid any shipping damage issues. Box was in good shape with no damage upon unpacking. Assembly was easy but will take about 1.5 hours. Upon initial use I noticed the annoying squeak present in the seat attachment as mentioned in other reviews. Being mechanicaly efficient I disassembled the entire seat attachment, removed all associated screws and washers and sprayed them with WD40. Further light WD40 spraying was completed on any surface relating to the seat attachemnt that had metal to metal contact including the chrome seat adjustment rail (this made a much smoother seat gliding action) and the screw metal portion on the 2 adjustment knobs (1 on the seat back and 1 on the seat bottom). After completed WD40 lubrication and reassembling the seat attachment my SR23 is ENTIRELY SQUEEK FREE. Although this is only my third day of ownership function and operation is great with the many available programs, screen view is bright (better than their model 230) with 3 positions of veiwing, and now extremely quiet opperation.
