Untie your feet, go strapless. That will help get your stroke rate down from Energizer Bunny levels.

If this is a blog please take it to a personal wordpress site.

Holy flurking schnit!

I'm not sure whether I need to moderate your pidgin German.

It's Rigelian, if that helps get me out of the naughty corner.

Google translate didn't recognise that, so I'm assuming it means "Jolly well done old bean" in Rigelian.

I'm not sure whether you're aware that this forum is run by volunteers and the C2 folks don't visit (certainly not in this section).

Not sure what your problem is. Write an email to Concept2 using https://log.concept2.com/contact and ask them directly.

It's normal for machines that aren't full of dust & cruft and are new or are properly maintained, regularly. Knock the damper lever down from ten to five. Then read https://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/training/tips-and-general-info/damper-setting-101 to understand why I told you that. Learn to ge...

No, I don't have an oscilloscope.

But I assume that the DMM would at least start showing an unsteady signal between ground and tip when the flywheel is spinning? It doesn't. It shows constantly infinite resistance.

A DMM doesn't sample fast enough. My scope is 100MHz.

Sleeve is ground. Tip is sensor. Ring is power generation feature (new with PM4).

Have you got an oscilloscope because a DMM won't register the signal?

Thanks for the responses. I created a team, but I don't see how we can do anything other than participate in Concept 2's global challenges. What I'd like to do is have our own challenges and leaderboards for those. Too much to ask? Do that with a Faceborg, Discord, Houseparty (or other social media...

I'm fairly sure the captain of the Forum Flyers will be along in a minute.

There are no Brand-X rowing machines that compare to a C2 in any way. It is always a case of apples vs oranges. With a water rower the physics (fluid dynamics) of spinning a bucket of water is going to be wildly different to C2's method of forcing air through an impeller. Best of luck trying to find...

https://i.postimg.cc/06X3BNXQ/20200403-183054.jpg Nick, sometimes you get into the groove but C2 doesn't agree with you. This was supposed to be a rest day but I decided late on to just give this challenge a bash. I'm still a bit reluctant to go down this rabbit hole as I'll try and consistently hi...
