Continental Hometrainer tires
What do you guys use to clean them? I have a black strip down the center of the tire after about 3 weeks heavy use. What can I wipe it down with?

Get some cheap black tires and be happy. I have a $9 Maxxis Detonator on my trainer that I can't seem to wear out. Having said that, don't use any kind of organic solvent (e.g. diesel, odorless spirits, etc.) on rubber: stick with something water based. Maybe Simple Green washed off with water (be careful about getting this on rims for long - might mar the aluminum finish).

Windex, on the tire and the drum of your trainer. You'll never get the black stripe completely off, but what you want to remove is any dirt / oil that can cause slippage.
