Thank you - I was unaware that the PM5 could go direct to mains. I'll have a look at that.

So before I blow it all up .......does it go phone charger to the USB slot on the PM5 (ie I'll need a usb to usb cable) ?

You need a USB-A to USB-B printer cable.

Thank you citroen

That's great thank you - I will look at this at the weekend. Purely as an aside, from your point number 3, how does it work when folks do a 24 hour ergo session? Obviously they are measuring time not metres, but can the machine be set to count down from/up to 24 hours?

Hi, I Hope someone can help. apologies if this has been asked before but I did use the search facilty but couldn't find an answer to my query (but may have used incorrect search criteria) I'm planning to a session in about 12 months that will be around 8 hours or so (not an event just a personal thi...

Taking into consideration time for getting changed, warm up/diwn, shower etc, i can set aside 60 mins of work time on my C2, six days per week. What are my best options/sessions to do for weight loss in the allocated time? Smee After a bit of experimentation, Ive managed to answer my own question> ...

My original post.....enough said.......C2JonW No, it's not enough said. yesterday I had an email from Concept 2 uk contradicting your post. So 'enough said' doesn't cover it. as I forwarded their email fro you to take up with them, perhaps you'd like to take it up with them again. Im not saying the...

Leave the handle wherever you like . The advice to put the handle back at the chain guide is a leftover from the Model A and B days when we used a generic shock cord that would lose it's elasticity over time. With the Model C forward we reconfigured the return mechanism so the shock cord isn't bein...

C2jonw I forearded you that email - are you now able to post a definitive answer on this please?

Thanks I will go and look at the HR- the info on the indoor sport services is fairly basic - top level stuff. some of the stuff is specific and good but there is an article there about weight loss without losing strength. Read the article by Tom Kay (who i raced many years ago and always got beaten ...

Thanks guys. Im on top of the diet, having lost 19 lbs already since Jan 1st pretty much exclusively from diet and not that much exercise. I did 60 mins rowing last night . However, I could not maintain that pace day in day out as I was pushing it, but can easily scale it back. As a former rower, ro...

For a given pace, lower rates equate to a harder pull each stroke because the wheel slows down more and takes more power to accelerate. This means that if you are "strength based" the lower rates may suit you, but if you're more "aerobic based" higher rates would be better. That is another way of s...

If C2UK have sent an email that's less than correct I'm fairly sure JonW at concept2 dot com would be interested in getting a copy.

Yes they sent e an email and Im happy to share. Will send it on to him, thanks

First of all I stand corrected - the rationale for leaving the handle up by the flywheel wasn't apparently to protect the shockcord it was to protect the 'old style' chain (presumably to avoid stretch) which came in around 2003/2004. Why it would therefore be mentioned in a 2014 manual I have no id...
