Abstract
An exercise machine, such as indoor cycle, includes a multi-function wheel brake actuator. A braking force is induced on a wheel by finely or coarsely adjusting the brake actuator. The brake actuator may include a knob whereby a user may finely adjust the braking force on the wheel and a lever to actuate interval settings whereby the brake actuator provides set positions of braking resistance. The lever may include a spacer to reduce friction of the lever. The exercise machine may further include a pop-pin assembly with an over-center cam mechanism to clamp members together. The pop-pin assembly also includes a fine adjustment to adjust the clamping force. Implementations of the pop-pin assembly may be arranged to apply the clamping force by pivoting a lever of the pop-pin assembly either toward or away from the members being fixed.
