Can anyone help me locate the Lat bar for Golds Gym XR30

Can some one please help me find the Lat Bar for the Gold's Gym XR30?

I bought an XR30 for Christmas from Icon Fitness and was not sent the bars for this product. After numerous follow-up calls and EXTREME persistent icon fitness sent be a lat pulldown bar that is designed for the Weider Crossbar. It has the connectors on either end similar to the bar that goes with the XR30, however, the problem is that the Weider Crossbar I have is not long enough. Resulting in the pulleys on the XR30 having to be twisted at an inward angle in order to attach to the weider bar. This installation makes it wobbly and the weight unstable and unbalance as you try to do the lat pulldowns. Not very comfortable or efficient at all. I like my XR30, but one of the main reasons I bought it was because it had the lat pulldown features. So needless to say this has been a BIG disappointment.

I've searched the web and local fitness stores in and about Los Angeles for the lat pulldown bar for the XR30 and I simply cannot find it. I've also emailed Gold's Gym headquarters twice regarding this, resulting in no response. And I asked SportsChalet and DickSports if they sell the bar separately and they say they don't. Does anyone have any suggestions that might help? Your comments would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I'm just starting back to weight lifting after over 5 years of a mostly sedentary lifestyle and would love to use this equipment to help me get back in shape.

Why don't you just go to a local fitness equip store
and buy a generic lat pulldown bar???

Or if you live in BFE, order one online

I searched [lat bar] on yahoo shopping and came up with a KA-JILLION results
$29-35 (US) for most -

Why don't you go to a local fitness store?

As my initial post stated, I've tried many local fitness stores; yet they seem to only have the style that connects in the middle.

This machines appears to require one that attaches at each end. And I've even found a couple that attach on the ends online. As I previously stated, Icon Fitness sent me a lat bar designed to attach at both ends, however it is designed for the Wieder Crossbar and is too short for my XR30 machine and doesn't fit well.

So what I'll looking for is one that will fit the XR30 machine properly. If anyone knows where I can get a lat bar that fits the Gold's Gym XR30 properly please let me know.

Thank for everyone's responses
