    Trainer Squeaking - from lots of use?

    my trainer question or problem seems to be affected by serious time/miles put on my trainer.... Okay, so it seems that I may need to have a piece replaced on my fluid trainer but I wanted to "ask around" to see if anyone else had this problem.

    I ride my trainer a lot and usually between 1-2 hours each time I get on. I noticed that a while ago, a little groove began to develop (as well as smoothness) on the metal drum that touches the rear tire. now its to the point that you can definitely feel a big difference between that band that goes around it and the rest of the metal. Also what has annoyed the living hell out of me is that no matter how pumped/flat, cleaned/dry/wet (adding a few drops of water onto the tire while spinning sometimes removes the squeak) my tire is - IT SQUEAKS LOUD AS ALL HELL. So I'm beginning to think that the path worn into the metal is the culprit for the super squeaking. One thing that stinks is that its the type of trainer where only one side is adjustable (the other is fixed), so when you tighten the trainer's hold on the skewer, the tire is in the same spot every time.

    Has anybody else had this problem and if so, any remedies??? Thanks
