Cycleops Fluid2 Trainer - Lubricant

Muztard

I've accidentally spilt some of the lubricant from my Cycleops Fluid2, can someone tell me what lubricant (and the quantity) is used so I can buy more?

Thx NapoleonD..... I've sent them an email.

My fluid 2 appears to have leaked.

Any luck finding out what the fluid is?

Muztard

Hi keracticus....

No, sadly they never replied to my email, so I phoned them only to be told I'd need a new "head unit" because it's a specialist lubricant that can't be bought by a 3rd party :shock:

Surely somebody knows a lubricant that will do the job? :idea:

How did it get spilt?

(just so I can avoid the same problem)

I found that Paligap were excellent. A chap called Angus there sorted out a broken clamp on my Fluid Pro.

Muztard

magliaceleste, it got spilt because some numpty (me) opened it :oops:

+1 for Paligap service - very good. I've found them really helpful.

Sadly I've still had no email response (2 emails sent). Despite the fact I phoned them and sent an email to an individual I was specifically asked to email.

With this weather and the lack of a turbo I'll not fit in my jerseys soon :oops:

I'd open it again, take a sample and find out the viscosity, then find a suitable replacement.
Not sure what properties are in it, or whether it's mineral, synthetic, semi-synthetic, etc... Could be quite difficult.
Could Paligap just service the unit?...
