Blarg, trainer has started making this horrible noise: [Saris H3 Noises] Any other H3 units have experience with this noise? It only happens when it’s slowing down to a stop so it’s not that annoying (relatively speaking). I’ve had this trainer for about 4 months now and have put a bun…

Mine did same thing and they sent me a new trainer. Don’t let them send you a new belt and pulley. Did nothing for me

Hi again. This has started happening again. Its only in certain gear combinations which is really odd. Did you have any luck resolving it?

When spinning at normal cadence, you can’t really hear it with the drive train noise. When spinning the crank slo…

Ok. I’m trying a few things out this weekend, I’m going to try another bike and also clean and reassemble the cassette.
