What was recalled

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.

Hazard

The springs in the resistance trainers can unhook and become a projectile, posing a puncture hazard to users or bystanders.

Injuries

Nashbar has received three reports of springs releasing from the bike trainers. No injuries have been reported.
