Nashbar Direct Inc. Recalls Bicycle Resistance Trainers Due to Puncture
Nashbar Direct Inc. voluntarily conducted a recall of 2008 Travel Trac
Gravity Inertial Trainers. The springs in the resistance trainers can unhook and become a projectile, posing a
puncture hazard to users or bystanders. The recalled trainers are folding stands that lift and apply resistance
to the rear wheel of a standard bike, converting the bike into a stationary trainer. The recall includes Travel
Trac Gravity Inertial Trainers (catalog # NB-TTMIF) with a looping black base with two red support arms.
Travel Trac is printed in white on the right support arm and Millennium is printed in white on the left arm.
Inertial is printed on the top of the right arm in black with a white border. The resistance unit has a rounded
black plastic cover with a soft red elastomer roller. The item number is also printed on the bottom of the last
page of the owner’s manual.
