Concept2 Forum

Hi guys, thanks for all the feedback. @Quatroux; I want to use the C2 to do high intensity interval training about 3 times a week, in addition to my cycling schedule, doing HIITwhile trying to row with the arms inside my knees will most likely guarantee a quick trip to the physiotherapist, so I won'...

Hi, I recently started training and eating right in order to to shed the excess pounds; I cycle about 20k every day, dunes are part of of the route so I have some climbing to do as well. :D I've tried the concept 2 some time ago but I found that my belly was in the way of finishing the stroke proper...

A "sawing"noise from the chain as it goes back and forth is to be expected. I wouldn't worry about it. Compare it with another model D if you want to be sure.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
I''ll just have to row on the model D and see how I like it and decide if I want to upgrade.

Thanks for the info. The main reason for me to consider the replacement is that I find erging on the model B somewhat heavy, I already installed the speedring Concept 2 provides, but that didn't solve the problem for me. There's no sideways or up and down movement of the flywheel and it turns quite ...

Hi, I'm considering upgrading my trusty Model B to a model D.

What are the pros and cons of getting a D instead of my B.

The model B is well-nigh indestructible, that's one thing I already know.

It's a thin plastic ring with so slipping it in should not be a problem, once it's in place it can be fastened with plastic ties.

I just got a wind damper ring fro my model B from Concept 2. Since it is one whole ring,it seems to me I can either cut or saw a slit in the ring and then install it or I can remove the 2 screws on the flywheel side of the cage and then slide it in. I have no idea what will happen if I remove those ...

Thanks, ill contact concept 2 in my neck of the woods to check if the speed ring is available.
On the B parts order form from the US concept 2 site it's listed so hopefully I can get get it here [holland] as well.

Thanks again and all the best for 2009.

I remember seeing pictures of the infamous John Rupp model B when it went up for sale, and it had the roofing paper on top of the cage as well.

Is that also done to improve the range of resistance?

Hi, I am curious to know what the advantages are of adding a speedring to a model B.

It obviously blocks part of the airflow to the fan and makes rowing lighter, are there any other advantages?

My model B is completely standard, so far I've only replaced the rollers and the shock cord.
