Subject: Noisy Fluid Trainer? I was wondering if anyone has experience dealing with noisy fluid trainers? I have a Cycleops Fluid Trainer, which is essentially brand new. I've had it for three years, but in November had to get it replaced, under warranty, because the resistance was totally dead and it was really noisy (my LBS shipped the trainer back to Cyclops and they replaced the resistance unit). It worked fine until I transported it to my parents for the holidays, and now it is so loud I can't watch TV with it, which is how it was before I had it replaced.
The resistance is working fine - it's just the noise issue. Is this an issue of simply replacing the fluid? I'm going to bring it back to the bike shop, again - they are not going to believe it. I'm sick of dealing with this and wondering if I need to just throw in the towel and get a new trainer. I know I'm probably doing something when I transport it, but I can't figure it out. I don't see any fluid leaking. Thanks for any input on how to fix this issue! |
