I've had my Revolution for 17 years, use it regularly (though not with a ton of weight since I'm an old fart), and have only had to replace one 10-pound weight. It's picked up a bit of a creak under load on the right side, so will use some teflon lubricant to see if I can stop that. I'm diligent about taking the load off the machine after every workout. Basically, my machine has been rock solid. Hope yours will last as long once you get this warranty repair done.
I can tell you that Bowflex has the best warranty! You have the 10 year, they’ll replace them when they break, but yours broke too soon, could be bad placement of the weight or just a defective plate to begin with. I got the power rod Bowflex and they are extremely good with their warranty. I was missing the squat straps on my bowflex and contacted them yesterday, they sent them right away. They stand behind their products.
The ‘dust’ on the rubber is a protectant to increase the life of the rubber. Too bad you did pull out the plastic centre. It would be nice to be able to repair it.
Bowflex is pure marketing hype and abysmally designed equipment. I trashed my rotators using a flex rod Ultimate. When bench pressing, to bring the entirety of the resistance to the start position, one must reach waaay back, behind the head and pull a full resistance load from zero to the start position - putting unnecessary and damaging stress on the soft tissue of the shoulders with ZERO exercise benefit. That POS ended up on the curb for pickup. These newer Revolutions are just as craptacular - plastic parts waiting to fail. I suggest getting a good power cage with a Smith attachment for a real workout.
Well too late now. I think the Revolution is MUCH BETTER resistance than any other BOWFLEX. I’m getting a new unit soon. They’re gonna replace it. Ten year warranty. I gotta make it work now
This machine is wayyyyyy overpriced. I had this. And a bioforce. Both had constant tension. Bioforce way simpler. Way cheaper. For close to 3 grand. And zero smart technology. Overly complicated.
OK so I found out that the warranty on the machine and bow flex packs is 10 years, labor is only 90 days

Yeah. I called today. It’s on its way!
I would return the whole thing and get a squat rack with bar and weights. those things are gonna keep breaking. Great content by the way!
IKR
That was cool to see the inside. Hope you have no more hurdles

It covered under warranty. Plus is pops right back in
So why don't they just put a metal piece in Would that fix the problem
Good question
