Out of topic question: Is there a conversion table for times vs. weight?

Re: World Record Attempt - live broadcast - 23 Aug'12

24hrs!!! That's amazing!

Very good luck to you. I'll try to take a peek next Thursday night to see how you're doing. I'm impressed with all the data reporting as well.

The monitor will keep on indefinitely also with a USB charger. I guess it just needs USB power.

Best,

Re: Drag factor on a relatively new Model D

A low end of 80 is not out of the expected range of a new machine, depending on numerous factors. Any blocking of air flow on the inlet or outlet side will lower the range, as will elevated temperatures, lower barometric pressure (higher elevation) and any existing air movement from wind or another...

Re: Drag factor on a relatively new Model D

Is the monitor configured for the right model? Main menu --> More options --> Utilities --> LCD Contrast Once on the LCD Contrast menu press [change units] three times, then press [change display] three times and the hidden configuration menu will appear. Check that's set for model D. Hmm, hidden o...

Re: Drag factor on a relatively new Model D

That wil definitely cut the flow. Can you test it out somewhere there is more free airflow? Mine behaves that way, but I attribute to being at a higher altitude than normal. But the effect is similar - less air moved, so less drag on the flywheel. Bob S. Thanks for the answer, I'll test it on anoth...

Drag factor on a relatively new Model D

Hello everyone, Is it normal for a relatively new Model D rower to have a drag factor of around 80 with the lever on 1, and around 130 on 5? I got a Model D last November and have rowed about 600k on it. I just vacuumed the flywheel (although it wasn't that dirty) and measured the drag factor at dif...

Got my machine a couple of hours ago

Just to brag about my new Model D rower, just got it 2 hours ago. It's been almost 2 years since my last row mostly because I was so lazy to go to the gym :( I did half a million meters mostly in 2006-2007, but now I'm fat and out of shape again, which is a good reason to finally get my own machine....

Yes, you got be aware of minutes and seconds. Better to put everything in seconds. Say the duration of the row is M minutes and S seconds, and the distance D in meters, the average seconds per 500 meters can be found with this formula: AVG (in seconds) = 500 (60M+S) / D For example, 5000 meters in 2...
