Forum:Ancient gears vs ordeal of traveler

I have bee through this many times with others but i want to know about it... Ordeal of traveler states when the monster declares an attack... then its ability kicks in, but on the stronger ancient gear monsters it says "when this card attacks, no spell or traps can be activated until the end of the damage step". what would be the resultant of this? would it be that ordeal of traveler is negated (which i believe to be so) or does ordeal of travel kick in?
