A small towel, folded over. With some bubblewrap inside the fold if you want. Before you spend out on 3rd-party seats and pads.

I don't think wear on the joint from dismantling is an issue. My Model D is 13 years old and has been taken apart and put back together three to four times a week since purchase. The metal is a little shiny now in places on the joint but nothing more than that. Works as well now as it ever has. I do...

My RowPro receipt is dated February 2009 and I'm still using it for every row. Version 4.3 on an old laptop works just fine and I only get failures when there's an issue with the Oarbits server; when this happens it seems to knock out not only the connection to the server but also the program intern...

Just a small towel folded over. Works for me.

I sweat profusely even on slower rows. It just pours out of me. If I'm rowing intervals, I can sip something during the rests. If not, then I ensure proper hydration beforehand and afterwards often take a drink with rehydration power added. In the UK it's Dioralyte or, preferably, the cheaper generi...

I should have your problem. My training is going backwards.

Well yes, that was the joke ... oh please yerself missus

I recently had to call the suppository helpline. Couldn't believe how rude they are.

You don't say where you are in the UK. When I lived in Reading my erg received a service to mark its 10th birthday from a company called Rowgear, based in Henley. They did a good job.

Desired workout -- 10,000 metres, negative splitting so that 0-2500 is at 2:18, 2500 to 5000 at 2:15, 5000 to 7500 at 2:12 and to the finish at 2:09. Keyed as above into the pace boat studio, intermediate workout, RP automatically breaking 10k into four segments. But when I do the workout the pace b...

Nothing to say really, other than "why?"

Just been idly looking at various training plans, advice, etc. Whenever I've seen pacing targets in the format of [distance] + whatever, I've always understood it to mean slower. So if 5K pace is 2:05 then 5K + 1 = 2:06. But in something I saw somewhere they clearly meant faster, so in the 5K exampl...

Plenty of folk here saying the nicotine patches don't work, but they did for me.

I underwent minor surgery under general anaesthetic several years ago. As I was lying on the table in theatre, my hr showed as 48. That was with a surgeon firing up his drill, an anaesthetist pointing needles at me, and some nice young ladies dressed up in nurse's uniforms (my favourite!) Normal res...

That's quite a serious fan, Carl :o I had a C-breeze for a while. My gripe was that I couldn't get it to blow cool air over all of me, only on one side. At the end of a workout I resembled an antiperspirant commercial - one side dry as a bone, the other dripping wet. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but ...
