Re: Brand new SkiErg..clunk noise on double/single poling

Keef and NoWatts, have you noticed a difference in performance and smoothness with the modification? The feeling on the handles is a tiny little bit more direct, the slack from lifting the axis the 1-2mm before the spools catch it is gone. So is the clunknoise gone. I also had a harmless vibration ...

Re: Brand new SkiErg..clunk noise on double/single poling

Today i dismantled the frontside of the flywheelcover and there it is. I have only a loose frontside bearing and not so extreme like on yours, but it’s loose. Backside bearing is tight. Turn volume up to hear the clunk-sound: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=BNv5ckOD0PE C3, thank you ...

Re: Remove round fan plate in front of FlyWheel, makes workout intense.

Has anyone removed the round fan plate in front of the flywheel? I did it last week, now the workout is more challenging. I'm on SkiErg for 1 hour a day, and the Rower 1 hour a day. Waiting for my BikeErg to arrive so I can use that too. I start with the hardest first, SkiErg. "No pain , no gain. G...

Re: How well does a SkiErg complement the rower and elliptical?

Was contemplating adding another torture device to my basement gym. I have a Model D with PM3, and a nice higher end Precor elliptical. I like the rower for HIIT and the elliptical for LISS when I'm just not feeling it. Am I going to see big differences in how the SkiErg hits me vs the rower? or am...

No clunk noise with mine — pretty quiet. I can use it and have the tv on in the background and hear it with no problem.
FYI replacement on its way. hope this one is 'tight'

Re: Brand new SkiErg..clunk noise is design fault

The clunk is definitely the result of the two bearings (PN1315), front and rear moving within their metal chassis cups. The 12mm bearings (PN1315) are first mounted in a hard 'neoprene' cup (PN1013), this in turn is then mounted in the metal cups welded to the chassis front and rear. To prevent thi...
