Concept2 Forum

In terms of graphics I'm pretty sure I dont want to spend the whole time looking backwards. I would much prefer a tv camera type view like in rowpro that moves arround. As bizarre as it sounds the only time I tried OTW I hated it as the whole going backwards thing is horrible and wanted to switch to...

Stuffed chain and/or chain sprocket and or seized chain guide pulley or the chain is catching the plastic under tray in the frame. Really shouldn't be that hard to find. Sounds chain related. The new chain guide pully is soft the old ones are hard nylon.They also seize on the shaft and the chain rub...

Proposed pricing structures look like a nightmare, they need to simplify it. Better off to have each different exercise as its own module and you can "Add" a second for a lower price than if you only had that one on its own otherwise you feel your paying for a second that your never going to use. Af...

Agree 100% Carl. We are I think we are about to see the meteor that is Zwift wipe out the dinosaurs 🦖 😂 Yes it's very sad in a way because RowPro is a New Zealand bit of software that I have used and loved for 10 years but it simply has not kept up with user expectations. Simply not enough rowers t...

What makes cycling in Zwift successful is the same formula that will make rowing in Zwift a success. You end up with a large online community of like minded people that like to row and train together with great graphics. I'm not online for the great graphics, but clearly if you analyse where RowPro ...

Only ever row in Lycra shorts (bike pants WITHOUT any padding) or compression type underwear which is similar but lighter fabric. Never ever row in running gear or loose clothing.

Ok yes the cycling is great from the point of view of a universal equipment connection but its hopeless from a racing results perspective as Zwift has the constant problem of cheating which is pretty clear if you follow the forum and they are working non stop to try and minimize it.

Racing will be the big trick from. I don’t think the Concept2 rowers will be happy in a race vs a SkillRow / RP3 / Water Rower (with the Bluetooth add-on) etc. But maybe I’m wrong? John It's pointless having any other rowers other than concept 2 anyway as this is the key strength of theirs in provi...

Hey John I think rowing for Zwift will fly. The reason is as you have already suggested, many cyclists ALREADY are on Zwift and they ALSO already own a rower so they are already paying the monthly subscription so for them its FREE. I can tell you straight up that there are ALREADY more users of Zwif...

Watch this video, its not your usual connection.

I can see why Zwift has delayed adding the Rowing element. They have skipped trying to integrate the rower into the cycling and have just created a whole separate rowing environment just for the Concept 2 rowers. While this is the ideal situation we have had to wait years for it to be implemented. I...

Maybe if you feel fatigued you are actually fatigued and are over doing it. Your evaluated HR means your not getting the recovery period you need. Personally I always found that it took about 2 weeks for a set rate of exercise to catch up with me. What initially felt doable on a monthly challange go...

The squeak usually comes from the chain guide rollers inside the frame on the recovery. They need a drop or two of oil.

It's going to be massive right from the release date.

It's what the Concept 2 rower has needed for 10 years.

I'm picking it may only be for the PM5 monitors but that's not a problem but please make sure it has a USB interface option not wireless only.

You think its clean but its not. Those tiny holes in the stainless get slowly obstructed reducing their diameter. You need like a paintbrush and put the stainless in soapy water to clean it and hit it with compressed air to get it back to the new readings. Reality is it doesn't matter as long as you...
