Re: Erg Maintenance Seat Upper Roller

Thanks Steve. I found that switching to a thicker shoe type allowed me to get the strap tighter.

New straps will be on my next c2 order though.

Re: Erg Maintenance Seat Upper Roller

The maintenance packs from C2 are very good value. They include rollers, new bungee cord, and foot straps, for less that £100. I've just bought 4 packs and will attempt my first "erg servicing" at the rowing club on Thursday (gulp) How did the service go? My foot straps definitely need ad...

Re: Meter board banter

Awesome job Paul on the distance row. I’m sure you will be up to fm in no time. We may be close together on the board right now but I’m sure you will be pulling ahead soon.

Happy birthday Paul \:D/ That's a very strong heart max heart rate. Mine barely goes over 160 anymore.

Re: Meter board banter

Yes, motivated as long as the body holds up! Not worth getting hurt. You get hurt you are done. My normal max on a work out is 30-40 minutes. You really aren’t gaining any fitness after that unless you are training for a long distance event and then you only need to go long a few times a month. Btw...

Re: Meter board banter

Wow Paul over 100000m for the last 7 days! I did get in 15k today but you still gained a lot on me. We are supposed to get a big snow storm now so maybe I'll get in another decent distance day tomorrow.

You most likely will. The weather here in Michigan is unseasonably warm for mid February. I’m doing all the running and hiking I can get in this week😀.

Erg Maintenance Seat Upper Roller

Has anyone replaced the upper seat rollers? Mine were clicking multiple times up and down the rail and no amount of cleaning would fix it. Order a couple new top rollers from c2 and installed them this morning. (A little tricky getting the bushings and everything lined up.) Now the seat rolls smooth...

5 mile run at the lake today with a good friend and my pup. I would post an image here but I can't make it work. Somehow I posted an image last week but I have no idea what I did.

Re: Meter board banter

You probably got me. I’m a runner and a biker. Also play a lot of disc golf. Most of my rowing is training to go faster. The only time I ever put in a lot of distance was back around 2012. That’s also when I set most of my pb’s. 🤔
