Bought my C2 D back at the beginning of December 04. I am a cyclist during the warmer months however shin splints in recent years have made it difficult to do my normal winter jogging. This turned out to be a big weight loss/gain roller-coaster. <br /><br />So having used C2 Cs once or twice at the ...

I think I have an idea: Velcro strips on the seat (the "rough" side strips). <br /><br />They will easily latch to your lycra and ensure you never come of the seat, from 500m sprints to marathon efforts.<br /><br />You can suspend of the handle as much as you like, and as you have no weight over the...

Well I tried to take picture of my posterior, but I couldn't find the right angle!! <br /><br /><br />But seriously, why is there more freeplay between the main/retention rollers on one side than on the other?

Wasn't really in the mood for it but decided to do a 10K today, for the first time without a singlet. Don't think I will try that again, its a bit to messy <br /><br />Anyway, cracked out a new 10K PB of 37:45.3. Flamed out in the last 10m with a HR of 184. It certainly helped being shadowed by my l...

Whilst trying to define intermediate and advanced Pace Boat functions on RowPro, I came across an option of "Duty Cycle". The default value was 33%. What does this mean?<br /> <br />If I don't know any better (and I don't), I would assume it relates to the percentage of stroke time for motive effort...

Thanx Yoda,<br /><br />However, it is possible the weight loss has brought about another problem:<br /><br />In the first month or so of erging I completed 40-60min rows without any real discomfort.

I wish I would lose some muscle mass on my legs. My quads/hammies look like they belong on an All Blacks Rugby forward, but I've never played the game in my life. I find trousers 2-3 inches too loose at the waist, but my legs barely fit in.<br /><br />I think it may have a lot to do with my cycling ...
