Along those same lines, Joe has decided to include only static ergs in the "boat" filling calculations (I'm not on facebook, so maybe there was more discussion over there). I row on slides, and am a little disappointed that I can't contribute to the boats, especially since Joe's team, Paddy Power, o...

Why bother? The monitor shows power directly.

The model B seat was designed, I think, for rowers - right shape, proper cutouts for sit bones and tailbones. I love my Model B seat! The spacing on your sit bones may not match the seat, which could cause your problem. Perhaps a pad with the proper cutouts to match your butt would work better than ...

Sorry, I don't have an answer. I'd ask the neighbor what might have happened to it. That might give you some idea of where to start.

On the other hand, the 40 year old machine might work just fine as is, even if the chain does rub a little.

I agree with MPx and iain about the wrist motion at the finish. Early in the video you're curling your wrists down, later you are overcompensating, curling your wrists up. Do neither, just pull straight into your sternum, don't worry about where your elbows are. Just let it feel natural. Even small ...

Welcome to the forum! It looks like there is some misalignment of the wheel inside the frame. Did the frame get bent somehow? Is the wheel mounted correctly? I have a model B and the chain runs through the middle of the cage opening, not off to one side like your image shows. As far as settings go, ...

Or, don't actually stop during the rests, just keep slowly turning over the pedals to keep the monitor running. The "easy" intervals will be a little harder than the "rest" periods. As you get more fit, crank up the "easy" intervals, but keep the monitor running during the rests. Learn how to progra...

I don't have the physiological conditions you describe, but I do row strapless a lot of the time. Good for technique. However, the flex feet hurt my heels, so I made my own footplates, sort of duplicating the original Model A and B wooden footplates. If you are handy with saws, drills and such, I'm ...

I'm not on Faceborg (as Citroen says), or other social media, so I have no idea what this change mentioned is all about. Can someone post it here, and the appropriate web manager update the CTC web instructions.

Thanks!

Congratulations to Elizabeth G. for your win (from a very, um, interesting venue ) !! You are a patient, amazingly strong competitor!

Maybe next year we can witness it in person from one fixed venue.

Great job!

I have a model C also. Are there any photos of this. I don't exactly understand what Carl Watts is trying to explain Alan I had the same problem a few years ago, Carl explained it to me then, so I understand it now. I don't have photos but I'll try to clarify the method. Imagine you have a rod with...

cycling would be a good alternative in the early weeks (3-6) - sadly I don't have a bike, maybe need to buy a bike erg! No comment on hernia recovery, but after my second rotator cuff surgery (early November 2022), I DID buy a BikeErg! I lost so much fitness after the first surgery - walking up and...

The vengeance was all Mother Nature's actually, as she not only rained on CRASH-Bs return parade but snowed on it, sleeted on it, and blew up a mighty wind. Sounds like my trip to CRASH-Bs a few years ago. I shoveled my mother-in-law's driveway twice, missed a return flight, but sure had fun at the...

I literally just put my erg back on the slides after a month of static training for the erg race. :D Those PDFs give all the info you need. As far as routine maintenance, I wipe the rollers and tracks with a damp rag occasionally - they do collect dust and stuff same as the erg rail. I also take the...

Congratulations to Rick, Arlene and Greg for National Championship wins!

Have fun in Boston.
