I have been using cross-country mountain biking race gloves. They are full fingered so are very comfy at the catch. The ones I am using are no longer made but Pearl Izumi makes some nice ones with just a touch of padding.

Hmmm. I guess you think I am someone else. I've only been erging for a bit over a year. I've posted all of my times for the short time I've been erging. I've competed twice at Ergomania. What does 10 p.s. mean??? I was a math and physics tutor for several years and have a masters degree in electrica...

By the way John, you didn't answer the Schmo question.

1:15 pace vs 2:30 pace
(75 sec v.s. 150 sec)
830Watts v.s 104W

Do explain. Feel free to use full power Ruppian Fuzzy Logic.

Chris, Keep up the regular erg workouts and you will easily achieve your goals. Just ramp up you intensity slowly over the months ahead and the erg will get you in the best shape of your life. Too much too soon and injuries will pop up. Besides Paul's advice about form, make sure your drag setting (...

Thanks James, it was late last night and I was just winding down from work. Yes, proportional to the inverse of the cube of pace. John's just screwing with all responders, because he knows he's wrong. By the way John, you didn't answer the Schmo question. 1:15 pace vs 2:30 pace (75 sec v.s. 150 sec)...

John, I am now leaning more toward...well, you are mathematically insane. Watt output on the erg is NOT proportional to pace. Looking at the equation that includes both terms (and I know you've seen this before because you've posted it yourself to do the conversion), a sophmore in high-school can se...

John,

I've been lurking for almost 2 years now. I think you are absolutely insane but have extreme passion for erging which is cool.

Why do you choose time as your yardstick when power output in Watts would likely be a better comparision?
