Most often Carl's IPA cleaning technique will restore full function to older keypads. If your keypad is still sluggish, a better repair is to use a keypad repair kit such as http://www.chemtronics.com/products/product.asp?r=1&m=2&id=32.

Re: 2008 review: Xeno Müller disappoints.....

Has anyone seen Xeno. I realized he is back with c2. Looks like he praises anyone who provides sonsorship..... Kids beware! I have been in touch with Xeno, and I specifically asked him for a dynamic rower recommendation (Rowperfect, Oartech or Concept2). He did not try to dissuade me from purchasin...

Re: Model B on craigslist for $495: misleading?

Having used both B (at home upgraded with PM4) and D/E (at clubs), I find the D/E unusable for me. Although many comment that the B seat is too soft, I found it better for my use. Rowing times at anything greater than 30 minutes on the D/E seat left so sore that I needed at least a day off to recove...

Re: to run or not to run

After 35+ years running and racing in shoes ( starting with Phil Knight's original Nike, Blue Ribbon) I developed knee pain and switched to Vibram Five Fingers. The knee pain is gone and I am a believer in the minimalist shoe.

Re: Digital Rowing partners with rowing legend Xeno Muller

Congratulations Xeno! Your video and critique have been of great value pointing out areas where good my stroke needs improvement. I have now added a small Kodak Playsport to my workouts....both stroke and split times will improve. Let's hope your connection through RowPro prompts many more to take a...
