8speed lx shifter to xt shifter
It depends.. Shifter cables are standard and the same one would work for both LX and XT shifters. If the old cable is full of grime etc, it is a good idea to run new cables - it will give you a smooth easy shift.
I am sure if you check www.shimano.com you will find the manual for your model of shifter. Replacing cables is pretty easy.
Slipping while cranking
The rachets in the rear gear cog have gone bad. Buy a new gear cluster and have it installed on your rear wheel. about $30
Bicycle Brakes Problem
First thing to check with a such a brake problem is your brake pads these are the two cushion like
things that cling to the wheel once you press the brakes.
If they are worn you should change them.
Sometimes after rainy days or riding throw water the brakes also make noise.
Let us know how it went.
Tomahawk E Series Exercise bike loud peddling sound
Standard WD40 is just a 'quick fix' as it isn't an actual oil unless the can is clearly labelled as "Bike All Condition Lubricant". It'll be best to buy a proper light oil like 3in1, 151 Super oil or an actual chain lube.
This 'clickey' noise. Is it random and happening every so often or is it a constant, regular click that changes with the speed your pedalling at? Check for slack in the chain. as you wiggle the chain up and down there should only be about a centimetre of movement in the chain. If it's too slack or too tight it can make strange noises. Check the axle bolts and nuts to make sure they're not loose. Check the wheel is mounted straight. If it's turned left or right the chain will 'skip' as it's slightly missing the cog teeth on the wheel. Use the frame at the rear end of the wheel as reference and measure how far the side of the wheel is from the frame on both sides. It should be about the same both sides.

New Balance 6100 Recumbent Bike making a clanking noise when pedaling
I have done a tremendous amount of research on this problem. New Balance (Fitness Quest) is out of business as of late 2012 and no parts are available. The main bearing or crank bearing set is 100% compatible with Proform part number 295560. Since New Balance put their name on this product, they have stated they will reimburse customers for the repairs.
