Edit 12/4/2008- Here is the original trainer/warranty post going back quite a while. Be advised that since this information is dated, it may no longer be accurate. The reason for posting it again is two fold:
1. The question is a recurrent one with every trainer season.
**2. It’s a good question to ask and begs at least some kind of response. **
This is how urban legends, mall stories and other misinformation spreads on the internet. Several threads have discussed warranty policies and indoor trainer use.
I invested some time this afternoon in response to these threads investigating this information on the basis of fact. These are the **facts **that I learned in conversation with the following parties:
Felt: Trainer use **does not **void normal warranties. Bicycles are covered under normal use warranty for trainer use.
I spoke with Scott at Felt.
Cervelo: Trainer use **does not **void normal warranties. Bicycles are covered under normal use warranty for trainer use.
I spoke with Bill in customer service at Cervelo.
**Quintana Roo: **Trainer use **does not **void normal warranties. Bicycles are covered under normal use warranty for trainer use. I spoke with Trey at Quintana Roo.
**Guru: **Trainer use **does not **void normal warranties. Bicycles are covered under normal use warranty for trainer use. I spoke with Michael at Guru.
**Scott USA: **Trainer use **does not **void normal warranties. Bicycles are covered under normal warranty for trainer use.

**Kuota: **Trainer use **does not **void normal warranties. Bicycles are covered under normal warranty for trainer use.
