Because I had nothing better to do this afternoon....

I decided to see if I could balance out the Nox without too much time or $ involved. So far I'm at $7 and I'll see if this will even pan out. First, I moved my control box forward 1 1/2" moved my armrest forward as far as possible and added some ballast at the very back. I used 9 3/4" ID washers, with a piece of 3/4" round stock in the center as a bushing. I ran a 1/4" hole thru the bushing and mounted it in the last armrest hole. I'll see if the extra weight is worth trying to balance the machine just a little bit more tomorrow when I take it for spin.

Nice job Dan(NM). May I ask where did you get both the control box and armrest cover?

Looks like athletic tape wrap to me.

I wrapped the hand grip on my Xcal with the vet tape from Tractor Supply and it got very sticky, sand stuck to it and it became a real mess. I use Vetrap from 3M and it does wear but does not get sticky.

I haven't had a problem with it getting sticky, maybe because it's so freaking dry here all the time.
