I was worried about the stride length and it does bother me a bit at

I've used the supplied lubricant, tried a little bit of WD-40, and neither works for more than maybe 90 seconds

It came in as a huge heavy box, though the outside of the box was damaged a little bit, inside all the parts were at their places and well protected

and I have to lean a bit to reach them

My husband messed with it a bit and did some reassembling and the clunk went away but the squeak noise remains

Like another tall reviewer said, I do feel a bit of a lean forward, but it's not uncomfortable

A bit overwhelmed to drag the heavy box in and start unpacking, but breath deep and enjoyed each step of assembly
