Unfortunately, the cable should be connected to the resistance knob, too short, hence the establishment of a fully functional cross trainer was impossible. Will have to send him back now, even though I had been really looking forward to the experience. Update: After I complained about the article and I had requested via e-mail to refund the amount, I was this not be approved, since I had crossed the withdrawal period of 4 weeks, although the delivery of the article took three weeks and it always takes days until the customer service replies. An outrage! That was my last shopping there ... Amazon is not at fault here.
