Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer Setup

Whether you are a professional triathlete or recreational cyclist, investing in a quality indoor bike trainer is one of the most crucial equipment upgrades you can make. A trainer simulates the feeling of riding on a road while allowing you to fit workouts in from your own home in all seasons and all weather conditions. 

Unlike some brands of indoor spin bikes you might find at your local gym, bike trainers don’t take the hard work out of cycling. It is possible to achieve the same quality workout inside that you would get on the road.

The Specs 

The Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer is a popular model within the cycling community, and for good reasons. It is relatively quiet, affordable, easy to use, and built to last for years.

Compared to many other trainers on the market, the Travel Trac Fluid Trainer comes in as one of the more affordable options, including the Travel Trac Fluid Smart B+ Trainer . Even though you save dollars with this Travel Trac, you still get unique features and don’t miss out on any quality.

Unlike its magnetic or wind counterparts, this model provides resistance through an oil-based fluid contained in the flywheel. This design makes it one of the quietest options for an indoor trainer, a significant bonus if you share walls or a floor with concerned neighbors.

The fluid model also has another significant advantage: it’s highly durable. Friction is the enemy of rubber tires on a bike trainer and can cause them to take a lot more wear and tear than they would endure traveling on the road. The fluid in this model keeps heated friction at a minimum, meaning you’ll be riding smoothly for years to come.

Fluid trainers have progressive resistance. Although you cannot adjust the resistance in a fluid trainer, you can still get your leg muscles burning. The harder you pedal, the more effort you will need to push the fluid inside the chamber.

The Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer is compatible with both mountain and road bikes with 24-inch, 26-inch, 27-inch, and 700-centimeter wheels. This range encompasses most size bicycles today, making it one of the most versatile trainers money can buy.

This trainer also folds for storage and transport which is great if you have a tight space in your home or you like to bring your trainer on your travels.

Additionally, in my research and reviews of indoor bike trainers, the Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer is one of the simplest to set up. This feature is a significant bonus, as an overly complicated installation process will only cause frustration and take away from your time on the bike! To make it as painless as possible for you, I’ve broken down the set-up into a simple, step-by-step process.

The Setup Process

One of the aspects of this model I love the most is the simple, intuitive setup process. The manufacturer has done the most challenging parts for you and delivers the product to you entirely assembled! This aspect makes it the perfect trainer for individuals with minimal indoor cycling experience.

There are just a few simple steps to take before mounting your bike on the trainer. Please use the Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer manual for further reference. 

Before you mount your bike to the Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer, replace the skewer on your bike’s rear-wheel with the one included with the trainer. Travel Trac provides a steel skewer that is more durable for long rides on the trainer. Your typical skewer may bend or break when you use it in a trainer you might end up destroying your bike.

You don’t need any special tools to replace the skewer. Use your hand to put pressure on the quick-release lever and unlock it. Then, loosen the cap on the other end of the skewer by turning it counterclockwise. 

Once you have loosened it, pull the skewer straight out and replace it with the included steel axle. Turn the cap clockwise to tighten it, and then press down on the lever to lock it into place. If the lever does not go down, try loosening the cap by a quarter-turn or half-turn.

Don’t get rid of your bike’s original skewer. The steel one is perfectly acceptable to use when riding outdoors, but if you are competing in a road race and want to minimize the weight of your bike to maximize your efficiency, you’ll want to make sure to switch the steel one out.

Before we get to the setup process, let’s familiarize ourselves first with the parts of the trainer.

Now you’re ready to mount your bike.

Line up your bike so that the resistance unit is behind the rear wheel of your bike. Align and insert the end of the skewer (non-drive side first) into the support cup. Adjust the knob on the other side to fit the other cup into the other end of the skewer. Tighten the knob to set your bike into place and tighten up the lock ring to make the setup stable.

There’s also a black knob located near the bottom of the resistance unit of the machine. Tighten it by turning it clockwise until your rear tire is resting on the roller. The side walls of the tire should be slightly depressed. Don’t forget to tighten up the lock ring under the knob to keep everything in place.

Give your bike a little shake to make sure everything is stable, and you’re good to go.

To dismount your bike from the trainer, loosen the lock ring and the knob in the resistance unit. Then loosen the lock ring and knob in the support cup and then lift the bike right out.

Using Your Trainer

The Travel Trac Trainer offers resistance that simulates what it feels like to ride on a road based on the speed of your wheel. In other words, the harder and faster you pedal, the harder it will feel. In addition, downshifting will give less resistance, while upshifting will increase resistance. 

Whether you only use it for a few miles of steady-state a week or you’re doing multiple sets of flat-out sprints per session, the Travel Trac is versatile and durable enough to accommodate any type of workout.

One accessory I strongly endorse including in your trainer set-up is a fan. While riding indoors on the Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer is just as challenging as cycling on the road, one of the most significant differences you will notice is the lack of wind . The still air surrounding your bike can make you start to sweat more quickly, and a fan can help keep you feeling cool and comfortable for the duration of your training session.

During the first mile or so of your ride, it is normal to notice some bumpiness as the fluid inside the trainer warms up. Start off in a lower gear to minimize this choppy feeling while the resistance unit warms up. If the choppiness does not go away after the first five minutes of riding, there is one main way you can troubleshoot.

What Kind of Tire to Use

Any brand and model of indoor bike trainer will cause your rear tire to wear more quickly than riding on the road will. So when setting up your trainer, a vital consideration is whether you want to change out the tire on your bike. 

I would recommend changing out your back tire if:

• you are going indoors for the season to stay off of icy roads
• you will be using the trainer more frequently as a part of an injury recovery plan
• you have major concerns about the longevity of your tires

On the other hand, if you use the trainer infrequently as a part of your regular routine, it may not be worth the additional time it takes to change between an indoor and a tire. If you do decide to switch between wheels, here’s what you need to know.

Trainer-specific tires are not recommended for outdoor use. Most trainer tires are brightly colored so it is easy to tell them apart from regular tires.

If a completely new tire is not within your means, using an old road tire is another excellent solution to avoid putting the extra wear and tear on your current tire.

Whichever tire you are using with your indoor trainer, I recommend keeping it inflated to the maximum recommended pressure to help reduce friction and increase longevity.

How to Reduce Vibrations

One of the benefits of the Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer is that it is naturally quieter than many other models of trainers on the market. Especially if you are using a designated noise-reducing trainer tire, you may not need to worry about what kind of surface you are using when you set it up.

However, I am a strong proponent of being a considerate neighbor, so do take noise-reduction techniques into account when setting up your trainer, unless you’re working out in a completely secluded location.

Just like being respectful of other cyclists and drivers when you’re traveling on the roads, it’s necessary to take your housemates and neighbors into account even when you’re in a solo indoor training session.

Breaking It Down

The Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer is not particularly large or cumbersome, but there may be times when you will need to put it away or transport it. Luckily, deconstructing it is just as painless as setting it up.

Once you remove your bike, simply hold the trainer by the center adjustment knob and lift it up. Fold the legs together, and voila! Your trainer is ready to be tucked away or carried along with you. Users love how compact and portable this model is, and you have no reason to let concerns about a problematic deconstruction process get in the way of taking full advantage of this feature! 

If you’ve changed out the rear tire to accommodate the time spent on the trainer, don’t forget to switch back to your regular tire before hitting the pavement. Again, it is perfectly acceptable to keep the steel skewer on your bike when you take it on the road. You’ll reduce the risk of misplacing it and not being able to find it when you need to use it on the trainer again.

However, there’s also no harm in taking the extra few minutes to switch it out for a slightly lighter ride. Like most other aspects of cycling gear, this comes down to personal preference. 

Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer Setup – Final Thoughts

If you’re in the market for a quality bike fluid trainer, you can trust Travel Trac Comp Fluid Trainer to carry you through the most grueling training sessions and the most leisurely recovery rides. 

It is a popular choice because it meets most requirements that people like me look for in indoor bike trainers: portable, low-noise, and solidly built. It is also relatively more affordable than other trainers with similar features, so for me, that’s a bonus.

I also think that setting up your equipment shouldn’t be the hardest part of your ride! It’s a great thing that Travel Comp Fluid Trainer comes assembled and is easy to set up. Mounting and dismounting the bike takes only a few steps and any beginner can do it.

A sad day for my fluid trainer...

• Add to quote

Finally, after over 11 years of service, my Travel Trac trainer let loose a pee stain on my mat today. I wonder should I bury it or cremate it? Anyone ever rebuild one of these things? I am searching for a replacement, bah.

At least that is an option with the Performance model. My Cyclops Magneto+ - about 6 or 7 years old - blew up the other day. Replacements are pricey.

1998?? Whoah- at least you can say you got your money's worth!

Dude, thanks for that input. Guess there's an option for a lasting fluid trainer.

Not really that big of a loss. Indoor trainers are the work of the devil any way.

CALL Saris/Cyleops...They are awesome. They don't care when it was from or anything in my experience. I called up asking if I could drop off for a repair(I'm in Madison) and they said "No!, But you can bring it and we'll give you a new one" Took a bike ride over there, handed over the old one, I was served water while I waited for someone to bring out my new resistance unit. Awesome service. They never asked for receipt, box, upc, etc...  

Same deal with Kurt Kinetic. I had 2 units replaced, no questions asked (unit was not leaking, but fly wheel axle was bent). Just called them up, gave them some basic info, and a UPS package was at my door in a few days.

I'll try calling them after work, I don't have all the info with me at work.  

fix it? Probably just need a new o-ring or perhaps bearings and o-rings. If no o-rings are found then the bearing seals were keeping the oil in and new sealed bearings would fix it.  

I sent them an e-mail from work today and received this reply: "You may return any item purchased from Performance at any time for any reason and receive an exchange or refund. Please enclose the invoice or a note with your name, billing address, and approximate date of purchase. If you do not have the invoice, you will receive credit at Performance's lowest sale price. Return the package via UPS ground, FedEx ground, or insured USPS." I never would have tried had I not posted in these forums, a hearty thank you to you all.  

follow-up... I've got a Performance fluid trainer that's about 10 years old too. Let us know what you get back, since obviously they don't offer the same model.  

I also have an old Performance fluid trainer. One thing that may help to increase life expectancy is to use a small cooling fan to blow air on heat sink area of resistance unit. Has anyone had any of welds break on trainer frame ?
