Got my C-Breeze and have used it several times. It was delivered super fast within 3 days. I agree, it does not change the noise level at all. It does make a good amount of wind, but nothing compared to my standing 18 inch fan. I tried rowing without the electric fan, but was dripping quite a bit. N...

Okay - I am convinced. I ordered the C Breeze today. The noise bothers my wife more than me, so more wind for me, less noise for her, sounds like a winning combination. I will report later after trying it. Bonus - the C Breeze is on sale for "non-athletes" for $34 and free shipping.

This perhaps should be posted under a new topic, but it seems to be a clutch issue. I just installed the Quiet kit on my Model C. I immediately noticed a soft scraping sound when the fan is spinning. I don't remember the sound being there before the upgrade. It is not loud enough to hear when rowing...

I remember a great message on this forum in which someone with a decibel meter tested his Model C with and without the Quiet Kit and a C Breeze. Now, I cannot find that post - it is gone! I am trying to decide if I should get a C Breeze. I sweat like crazy so even with the C Breeze I likely will sti...

Hey ckaiserca! I think it is smart to have liquid refreshments stored in bottles so close to the erg. After a good workout, hydration is key!

For interval work try Explosions In the Sky. They are a post-rock band that is very under-rated. I can't believe aren't as well known as Sigur Ros (another post-rock band). Their music is instrumental with significant crescendo/decrescendo which is great to motivate short sprints. If you have seen t...

Today went to a health club with a friend and spied a model E. My friend said it is never in use - the ellipticals and treadmills are much more popular. Oh Well. Anyway, I tried it out to answer my question. My impression is that it is quieter, but I was surprised that I missed the noise. I enjoy ro...

Based on the response, I've decided that there is almost no difference between models C and D.

I am the proud owner of a Model C that I bought used 2 years ago for $500. It is in great shape and runs very smooth. I have been biking a lot this summer and want to stay in shape as winter comes, and am interested in Rowpro to keep things interesting. The problem is that I have a PM2. So I am thin...

I used to think it didn't matter and used my latest used-up pair of NB running shoes. Recently I used a pair of boat shoes and noticed a big difference in that when I come up to the "catch" I can get up on my toes more with the more flexible sole. This probably increases the stroke length a bit. So,...

Clarification for Stuart - All I replaced were the bearings. I reused the rollers and the hardware. My point was that a lumpy squeaky ride does not have to be from worn rollers, but could be from worn bearings. So, if your rollers look ok, you probably have worn bearings that can be replaced for les...

I recently bought a used Model C in good condition with 1600 km on it. After a week or two, I became annoyed with the seat making a squeaking sound and it felt lumpy. I checked the Concept 2 site to check out what it would cost to replace the two top rollers and it was going to be $22 + $6 shipping....
