Elite says the bearings and belts they use are sized to last the life of the trainer and points out that poking around inside your puts you at the risk of touching internal sensors that can brick your trainer - an expensive mistake. You will find no shortage of people referring to the belts used inside, using automotive belt conditioners and all manner of things to extend the life or make them run smoother etc.īoth Wahoo and Elite recommend against this because of special tools and calibration requirements. I take a shop vac and try to suck the build-up out every few months, especially if you have not touched your trainer for an extended period of time. Remember that dust floating in the air we mentioned earlier? Well, that can build up in your fan intake vents, and in the case of every extreme case, your trainer to overheat. If your trainer has any clamps or tension knobs, like on a wheel on trainer, a dab of dry chain lube every few months will do wonders for keeping it turning smoothly and preventing surface rust.
