Knocking sound just after catch

My machine will make a fairly consistent "KNOCK" sound just after the catch. It does not happen at low pressure, but with higher pressure it occurs every stroke. It seems to be coming from just at the small turn around from chain, not the flywheel. I took the flywheel down and could not see anything...

Re: Scenario(s)

Yes, this machine will work for you.
Just get it.
Tons of routines.

It's good for the abs (try rowing strapless). It's excellent cardio and it is super for toning.

Scull for Fun and Exercise

I am looking for a scull for fun and exercise. It does not have to be super fast, it is unlikely I would use it in an on the water race. I found this online - TS515 http://www.ahoy-boats.biz/images/Sculling-alone-t.jpg Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is there something like this in North Ame...

My wife and I are just back from a trip to London/Paris. Our daughter is studying in London for a semester - so we visited her - and also took a family trip to Paris. The weather was quite nice so it is a bit of a shock to slip back into these icy Antarctic waters. Two of my favourite cities. I hop...

Ok, hosers, we are slowly working our way around Antarctica. Well done! We have completed almost 70% of the our row. The journey is over 200,000,000 meters and every meter counts. We have been rowing for over 2 and 1/2 years, but we all knew this was an ambitious project to start with. Everyone does...

The sun is starting to warm up our big Eh!Team trireme as we row around Antarctica. We are just rowing past Adelaide Island . It is home to many penguins and 2 bases. I am not sure exactly what people do at these bases, but I am sure they would be surprised if they saw us rowing past. These elephant...

Ok, hosers. The coastal row site is back up and running. It can be reached at C2 Coastal Row or you can just click the link in my signature. We are now moving past the South Shetland Islands on the coast of Antartica. This makes it penguin country. http://www.map-of-antarctica.us/gentoo-penguins-400...

We're back

OK, hosers. My apologies for not getting the coastal row site up to date for the past few months but I have been having some family health problems. There is good news and bad news. The bad news is we are missing a couple of weeks of rowing from about April 15, 2009 to May 5, 2009. The good news is ...

I have managed to get the Coastal Row site back up and running. For the techies among you it was a problem with the IIS and the configuration of the directory. In the meantime our EhTeam trireme is now rowing around Burma/Myanmar . (See the link to see how controversial the name is). It is the large...

Some of you may have notice that the Coastal Row site is giving a cryptic error message about a web.config file. I will try and get this fixed over the next few days. Keep logging your rows in your C2 logbook. Great rowing for the JVC. Us hosers just kept rowing and racked up a few million meters. I...

Some excellent numbers in the JVC hosers. If Larry keeps rowing like that he will put in over 7 million meters in the year. We have some new members on the Eh!Team. Welcome to them as they help power our trireme along the coastline of the world. Our trireme is now rowing North along the east coast o...

Our Eh!Team trireme has just rowed past the Pakistani port of Gwadar . According to the Gwadar link, Alexander the Great's Navy was rowing past here a few years ago. That would have been about 330 BCE, so 2300 years ago. It looks like an interesting place. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2106/1703165...
