Pausing during a workout, especially if the pause is more than 5 seconds, will almost always result in an abnormally high or low stroke rate value. When you say it occurs "immediately after the end of an interval" what type of interval workout are you doing? Does the anomaly ever occur when you are ...

Did you pull the LCD off the board and clean both sides of the zebra strips, the board and the lcd contact areas? C2JonW

The ratchet and pawl clutch in the gear cluster has some very light duty springs to push the pawls into the engaged position. The lubricant in the mechanism has a tendency to thicken over time, to the point of overcoming the springs and sticking the pawls in the disengaged position. So you need to f...

Good Luck! C2JonW

Presumably manual recalibration will take account of dust or any other air blockage and can restore accuracy. No not any other air blockage. Some dust buildup shouldn't be an issue, but an excessive block such as a towel over the flywheel will likely put things out of normal operating range. C2JonW

A few facts from the production side of this- Moment of inertia is corrected to within +/- 4 grams at the rim of the metal disc. Balancing tolerance is +/-.2 grams static and +/- 1 gram dynamic, also measured at the rim. The number of weights and/or holes is only an indication of how out of balance ...

The Indoor Rower and SkiErg are self-calibrating, utilizing the recovery time between strokes to view the rate of decay of the flywheel speed to do it's calculations and reca...

Jon, I am unfamiliar with the term "20 weight". Is this a locally used term in your country? I'm referring to SAE20 oil. The Society of Automotive Engineers came up with this method for describing the viscosity of engine oils- pretty sure it's an internationally recognized system, and for ambient o...

Recommended by C2 Jon Wilson. So good lookin’ so refined (the oil that is).:lol: 20wgt. is sometimes hard to find. If it ain’t marked as such, you can tell by the “legs” (roughly the viscosity of liquid dish detergent). Unopened bottle @ house left Is vintage 1993 and marked “intestinal lubricant”....

It's not that I want to ignore him, but I live in a (third world) country without a Concept 2 agent and without easy access to stuff that's commonly available elsewhere. The shop that sold me the Concept 2 came in a few months ago to oil the chain and left a huge mess so I prefer to do it myself. I...

People tend to overthink the oil for chains. Job #1 is keep it clean, job #2 is a light smear of almost any clean motor oil. I use Marvel Mystery Oil myself :-) MMO is meant to be primarily a fuel additive and may be better than nothing- according to Wiki it's mostly mineral oil, though there's als...

I would think that any bicycle chain oil would be fine. the rower is not subjected to the elements nor the gear change abuse that a bicycle chain typically has to endure. Just don't use WD-40. That is not a lubricant. Yes, you would think- but many bike chain lubes are not suitable for the rower- t...

There are many chain "lubricants" available and we have only tested a few. Many of them are primarily a solvent for cleaning, and once the solvent is gone there is very little lubricant left behind to do the real work, which results in premature wear and elongation of the chain, which leads to early...

What model rowing machine and PM? Firmware version of the PM? A screen shot of the blip would be helpful.
