Resistance On The 230

I recently purcahsed and assembled the 230 Journey 2.0. There has to be a problem with it - the resistance at level 20 (highest level) is not high. I used to have the 226 and the highest level on it was very hard to push. On the 230, the resistance definetly increases as you move up the levels, but I cannot believe it is functioning properly with as little resistance as it has at the top. What can be done about this ?

You can control the resistance of the bike by using the UP or DOWN buttons. You increase the resistance by pressing the UP button or decrease the resistance by pressing DOWN button. You will notice a slight lag in time while the electronic brake adjusts to your input, so make sure to allow for this and don't over-compensate. E. Sleep Mode - The console will enter a "Sleep" mode and the system will turn off automatically if there is no input for approximately 2 minutes. Press any button to return the computer to its pre- "Sleep" state or press and hold the RESET button for 2 seconds to clear the computer.
