Went in to get a Tesco Mobile unlimited data contract and Rudy was brilliant. Explained everything properly without the usual sales pressure, took his time, and made sure I actually understood what I was signing up for before I committed. No jargon, no rushing. Honestly made the whole thing really easy. Would definitely recommend him if you're looking to switch or get a new plan. 5/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well earned!

I ordered a Body Sculpture BE-6720G Elliptical Trainer.

It's a little bit more expensive but I wanted a) a quiet trainer and b) it has height-adjustable legs which can make it more stable to operate. (You can adjust the legs to make it stable on uneven flooring for example.)

Firstly, I ordered the Cross-trainer late Tuesday evening on the 24th March, 2015 and it arrived the following Friday afternoon on the 27th March.

I received an email from the courier company informing me of the tracking number and expected delivery time, which made being available to receive it no hassle. The website said between 14:30 and 15:30 and the courier arrived at 14:33.

The thing weighed over 41kg! Perhaps a tip is in order.. People tip waitresses for carrying a cup of coffee, why not a courier lugging your 40+ kg items?

Secondly, I've read Alice McGrath's review which I think is kind of unfair to be honest.

I actually had the same problem and it's the end of March, she ordered the item in the middle of winter ("just before Christmas"). The cold tends to shrink metal.

Solution?

Rather than blow a gasket, I boiled a big pot of water, placed a square piece of cardboard from the packaging near the trainer and placed the pot on that and soaked the ends of the pieces that would benefit being a bit bigger in the boiling water for a couple minutes.

Magic. They fit after that.

Of course I was careful and made sure not to allow water to go down inside the tubing. (Most of it evaporated straight away anyway after I took the part out.) I also had to soak the ends of the crank shafts in the boiling water to allow the part to be attached to them. (I rotated the crank shaft with my hand so it pointed down and gently lifted the pot of boiling water under it to immerse the section where the screw goes in for a couple minutes.)

I then carefully dried the excess water and applied the lubricating grease which came with the package on the right area(s). The piece was a bit stiff to fit on.. but it was much easier after warming it up.

Physics 101. If it's hot, it tends to expand.

Also, applying the lubricating grease to the right spots will probably help to prevent certain bolts and washers from moving. I suggest you try it.

I hope to get a lot of use out of this cross-trainer. :-)

Note:

Though I will say that the smaller Allen-key provided by the factory is rather inadequate. It deformed making using it impossible. (Not the fault of Irish Sports Warehouse, of course.)

I was able to use it to hold the Allen-screw while using the included wrench to turn the bolt.. But I do recommend using a stronger Allen key of the same size, if you have one available.

I cut my fingers when it deformed and my hand snapped against the metal frame.
