We have a model D 1 in our bedroom in a small apartment, no complaints from the neighbors, even at odd hours. To give you an idea, when my wife is rowing in the bedroom with the door closed, the noise that comes through the door to the living room is negligible. If you're separated by a wall (as you...

This seat looks really cool, I just have a couple of questions for anyone that's used it: 1) How does the extra seat height affect your rowing / how tired you get / your times? 2) It's great that this seat forces you to stay balanced like on a boat - I'm sure the advantages in term of core strength ...

I wrote to the makers of the KrewKlips (in the picture posted by John Rupp), and unfortunately they do not have a solution for the erg either. Hi I don't have a solution for the Concept erg I am afraid. I have looked at how to adapt the system to the erg as it would be useful for training and genera...

clipless pedals are not designed to withstand continuous twisting fore and aft, since if you rocked back and forth on bike pedals they would rotate on their axle and very minimal force would be exerted on the spring mechanism. I think over time this would become a concern. Cycling cleats are design...

It depends on the piece - if I'm going hard, angry rock is the way to go. However, the one thing that bothers me about music is that my cadence tends to go with the beat, and if I try to fight that tendency and keep a steady cadence regardless of the beat, the mental strain is exhausting and it just...

Thank you for the info, Paul. Unfortunately that solution is much like what Citroen had suggested... they used Shimano road cycling pedals which they attached to an axle in order to allow them to rotate and not strain the spring mechanism, and instead of rowing shoes they used Shimano cycling shoes,...

How about adapting cycling cleats/pedals? Thanks for the idea Citroen. I had thought of doing something with bike pedals, but the problems with that, as far as I can tell are: a) I would have to figure out a way to attach a clipless pedal to the footplate, which would definitely require serious mod...

Thank you all for your replies, they've been very helpful in thinking about this. I'm pretty sure my rowing is smooth, I used to row in college, and remember having the same problem with the model Cs. I think the straps loosen at the catch (when my feet are bent), not at the finish. Of course you ar...

I have a Model D and hate how the foot straps keep loosening while I row... I was wondering whether anyone has experimented with taking off the FlexFoot boards and modifying the erg to attach shoes like those you would find on a racing shell. Does anyone know whether C2 sells aftermarket foot plates...
