Do you know about where you used to have the damper lever when you were using the PM3 and what DF did it say for that lever position? With the lever in the same position, what does the PM5 say? That's the first thing that comes to my mind. Another thing, for me (and obviously you may be different) t...

I believe that's correct, but it would truly be a feat to do a very, very long row like a 100k without taking a few breaks.

Interesting. If I were you I'd sending C2 an e-mail telling them what you've found and ask them if that's what they would expect, and if not why not? If it's a common issue it should be something they address with a permanent fix on their side (beyond just telling people to use an older, potentially...

Congratulations, Lance - that's yet another great achievement for you.

Masochist... ; )

I've been on a bicycle for that long (outside, of course, with other riders) but would never dream, even in my worst nightmares, of doing that inside on an erg.

Since the PM will tell you how much battery life it thinks it has left, you can track that over time to see how quickly (or in this case how slowly) it will decrease. If you're extra-concerned about loosing power in the middle of a row that should allow you to have a good feel for whether or not the...

What about oiling the chain? Is normal bicycle lube ok? C2 recommends 3-in-1 oil, which is super-easy to find if you are in the US. You'll be able to tell when the chain needs some more lubrication - it will get a bit noisy, especially on the recovery as it retracts back over the sprocket, due to t...

https://nyti.ms/35cKN60 Get off your butt and row, even if it's just 50m at a time Four seconds of high-intensity exertion repeated periodically throughout the day might counteract some of the unhealthy metabolic consequences of sitting for hours, according to a surprising and timely new study of t...

Stupid git !

I figured you would get it.

I think you should remember that "gob" means something way different over here in the UK. It's a mild insult. I'm assuming you intended it to mean "good old boy" or Colonel Tom as we call him. As in (going purely on memory here): "Shut your festering gob, you tit. You toffee-nosed, malodorous perve...

Another thing for the OP to consider as she familiarizes herself with the rower and the PM: Don't fixate only on the sequence of buttons you have to push in a given order to duplicate a predefined workout - try to also step back and see the logic of the various menus and how they're used to program ...

I’m going to be optimistic and attribute most of the super-basic newbie questions that have been asked (and answered) ad nauseam, and could have been solved by 10 seconds of searching by the OP, to new users who are somewhat excited that they’ve found a forum to discuss a new toy, so without thinkin...

I've updated the monitor firmware and made sure the chain is lubed and all the bolts are tight. Anything else I need to look out for? Welcome to the forum. : ) You may want to check the flywheel area and give it a quick cleaning - it isn't difficult. If there are balance weights on the flywheel be ...

My depression disappeared and my life returned to (my) normal, THANKS C2. Since the first blood test after surgery and each year subsequent my PSA reading has been 'not discernible

I love stories with a happy ending!

Congratulations and keep up the work.

More information for the OP:

That's a Model D (and a model with bad form)

Upper image = Model D Lower Image = Model E D is lower to the ground and has an adjustable arm to support the PM D legs are constant cross-section and the plane of leg sheet metal is normal to the direction of motion of the seat E rail is higher and has a fixed box-section support arm for PM E legs ...
