Nashbar Direct Inc. is recalling about 200 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.
Nashbar has received three reports of springs releasing from the bike trainers. No injuries have been reported.
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 owners manual.
The trainers were sold at Nashbars Web site and catalogs from January 2008 through February 2008 for about $330. They were made in Italy.
Consumers should immediately stop using these bicycle trainers and contact Nashbar to receive a free repair or refund.
For additional information, contact Nashbar at (877) 688-8600 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the companys Web site at www.nashbar.com.
