Hey All,
I have a Volare Fluid trainer, which worked very well for me throughout the majority of last winter, but then stopped working well. My problem with it was that it would no longer apply a reasonable amount of resistance, consistently. I would basically be in my top gear and not be getting a workout. Then halfway through rides it would all of the sudden go back to normal resistance. When the snow melted, I kind of put of this problem, until now. I'm just wonering if anyone has had similiar problems and/or knows what I should do. I would hate to spend the 300+ to replace it, considering its just a few years old and worked great.
Thanks,
CycloManiac
