Elite real axiom overheat
Posted: Sun Dec 24, 2017 8:49 pm
Hi
I bought a wired elite real axiom secondhand and am finding that after about ten minutes of good power at about 3-400 Watts the whole unit gets super hot including the roller and it appears to even be damaging the trainer tire. The unit gives off a smell like melted plastic. If I stop the course I’m doing and spin for a couple of minutes it cools enough so I can do about another minute of good power but this seems a silly way to train. Any ideas about how to fix this? Is there a firmware upgrade that can prevent this or is the fan in the unit broken or something? Any suggestions appreciated
