Turbo Trainer Playing Up
Discussion
Afternoon all,
I was on Zwift earlier, and right at the end of a ride my turbo trainer started making a horrid noise, almost like an angle grinder. I stopped pedaling, got off to have a quick look, all looked normal but then I couldn't pedal, it was like it was locked in place. A few seconds later it released and I could pedal again, but accompanied by angle grinder noises.
It's a dumb trainer with a switch for the levels of magnetic resistance. I only bought it in January so hopefully it's still under warranty, unless PH knows what the issue is and how to repair it quickly and easily?
Thank you

Thread bump with update.
After taking advice from friends and family, I thought it would have been a bearing gone. So I've had a quick look inside. However everything looks fine, no evidence of anything broken.
On the outside however, there is a crack in the plastic casing, but not on the magnetized side of it. So I'm wondering if it's the broken plastic rubbing on the metal?
Trying my luck with warranty, shouldn't be declined as it shouldn't fail like that. Failing that... gorilla glue and get on with Zwift?
