Steering a single via an app on an ipad

Re: Dynamic Versus D/E

Reference the range of movement issue: I have purchased a used dynamic from OUBC which came with a 2 cm spacer to lift the seat. Feels much easier to get up to front stops and makes set up closer to seat to feet height for real on water rowing

Re: Model D Handle Not Retracting

Replacing the end cap is easy if you start the screw into the retaining hook before offering it up to the machine, then use a screwdriver to hook it over the horizontal bar and then tighten.
