Hi!

Someone else posted this awhile back and I bought it before my bike came and so glad I did!

Zacro Gel Bike Seat Cover- BS031... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H71AZ36?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I got fed up with the lack of stats for my rides, I made my own companion app for the MYX bike... android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smcohen.cyclelog

I pulled the left and right speaker connectors and used some jumper wires like these below, inserting the male end into the speaker connectors and plugging the female end into the new board in the left and right speaker port.

Yes! I bought one on Amazon, that worked...will link it here in a second...also reached out to MYX support and asked where I could order one...and they sent me one! That was unexpected....at any rate, here is the link, and this worked for me, until I got the official one went from MYX and I just use it now, and saving this one for a backup. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J5HTBF1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Bikeroo replacement seat and the matching pad that fits over. It was easy using the provided allen wrench though if you have a ratcheting bit, muuuuch faster! Found it on Amazon.

I've had occasional heart rate monitor and cadence monitor disconnects. The latter was added to the crank arm so is probably a bit less reliable than the built-in version on the latest bike. Software updates have fixed the issues lately though.

Its only $40 and quick and easy to install. In my case at least, it always connects automatically and seems to go a good job of tracking cadence. Seeing as how I only paid $1,350 for my original Myx Plus I'm not complaining about the sensor upgrade cost.

I’m using Giro Rumble VR mountain cycling shoes on the Myx. The soles are thick which helps with stability, but no issues clipping in or out:

I’m also using Shimano SPD cleats vs. the ones that came with the Myx:

It looks like the Myx touchscreen bracket is standard VESA 100 size (typical of most TV mounts). I may give this iPad mount a try: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Adjustable-Compatible-100x100mm-Stand-LAP4/dp/B07S3259MB

Thanks for the heads-up!

And I did something similar. I put a new seat that others in this sub had recommended (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071VSGYCX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share). It was a world of difference. And if $20 lets me stay on the bike for an extra 5 minutes each ride, it's worth it.

I'm 5 rides in, and each one feels better than the last. Good luck on your journey!

I'm a somewhat similar size (6'4" 290) and mine was killing me too. I ended up purchasing a padded seat (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H71AZ36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it has made a world of difference. I highly, highly recommend it.

Also make sure to tighten the pedals often with the allen wrench. For us bigger guys it comes loose quite often.

I replaced mine with a cheap one from amazon and it made all the difference in the world.

you can replace the tablet with this 24 inch smart TV https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0874Y42B7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The mount is compatible.

However, the desperate MYX sealed one screw in the mount to prevent people replacing the shitty tablet. We spent a few hours to finally get it down and the smart TV works great! And more importantly, you can enjoy so many free bike gym videos from youtube.

I'm a large girl and this seat works great! It's super easy to install and comfortable! It even comes with a mini tool kit which ensures that the installation is secure and safe.

I'm really new to spin bikes, having only used the recumbent bikes at the gym previously. I'm also larger which provides it's own difficulty. My first ride was miserable. My ass hurt for nearly a week and felt like I had basically bruised between my legs. I ordered this larger and padded seat from Amazon and today's ride was like night and day. I could actually do a full session and concentrate on the effort of the workout and not worry about injuring myself!

I didn't need one, my wife did. This is the one we got, its very confortable.

From what I’ve read (still waiting on delivery) this is what’s used. I personally haven’t used obviously but I may add on once I get going on my new toy!

Check this out: Wahoo RPM Speed and Cadence sensor for iPhone, Android and B... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E0YRQIA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_btf_t1_5azwFb3YCCGMY

I don’t have my bike yet. Tomorrow will be 7 weeks since ordering. I received an email saying I should be contacted between 8-10 weeks (9/14-28) to schedule delivery. I was surprised as I see more people getting in less than the 8 weeks that my date is moving in the other direction. I’m towards the west coast in Las Vegas and I think the east coast seems to be quicker at the moment.

The reason I’m posting is I need to lose weight and that seat looks awful!! So...I purchased this gel cover from amazon.

Enjoy!
