Performance Inc. Recalls Bicycle Resistance Trainers Due to Puncture
Performance Inc. voluntarily conducted a recall of 2007 and 2008
Performance Travel Trac 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. There
are three Travel Trac (TT) models included in the recall. The TT Inertial and TT I-Force Wireless use the
same stand, with a looping black base and two red bike support arms. Along the right arm is Travel Trac
printed in white. “Milliennium” is printed along the left arm of the stand on a vertical white decal. TT Inertial
and I-Force Wireless have black horizontal decals. The TT Millennium I-Force has a collapsible black stand
with Travel Trac and I-Force vertical white decals and Inertial in small red letters. The item numbers are
printed on the bottom of the last page of the owner’s manual.
