Wheel support for an exercise device

Abstract

A wheel support for an exercise device includes at least one support plate attached to a base. The support plate has a through hole defined to securely mount a first bearing. The first bearing is adapted to hold a crank. A flywheel is rotatably mounted in the support plate. The positions of the first bearing and the flywheel on the support plate are set prior to assembly so that a jig is unnecessary to manufacture the wheel support for an exercise.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A wheel support for an exercise device, the wheel support comprising: 
 a support plate adapted to be vertically secured on the exercise device for supporting the wheel, and having a first bearing and a second bearing respectively mounted in the support plate.    
     
     
         2 . A wheel support for an exercise device comprising: 
 two support plates each having a through hole defined to correspond to each other to receive a first bearing, and a slot defined toward the through hole for receiving therethrough an axle of a wheel.
