Join the Bin Laden Row tomorrow!

We all know about the quote "yeah, if you have one hour to spend, better spend it on the C2 than on TV" (well unless a third option supersedes both...). Here I'm sharing with you my personal choice, in case it becomes a source of inspiration for others: Most of week days I haven't got time to go out...

Re: Can erg's lifetime meters be set on a PM3?

Thanks for your answers. I remember I could see my PM2's lifetime meters, and yes, it's the kind of data one could post when selling it. Citroën: I was talking about the erg's lifetime meters. I'm not sure about which one are stored on the logcard now, the user's meters? In which case it's not reall...

Can erg's lifetime meters be set on a PM3?

was just wondering...
I lost all the data by replacing the batteries.

I think with PM2 I could edit the device's lifetime meters. What about PM3?

Re: Tach/Pickup issue, FIXED

Yes, I've done this check too, of course. It was unprobable it was that as it didn't work from one hour to the next. Anyway, the problem has now been fixed. Timeline: I went to a gym to check my PM3, worked fine. First relief... Then I checked the direct current at the output of the generator board,...

Re: Tach/Pickup issue

Hi Carl, I've got PM3 Hardware v461. I've checked that the type D/E matches the machine too. I've found that I've got an DC output from the jack connecter of the cable that's capped at exactly 4.0 V, however hard I row. It seems that only 2 wires are used, out of the 3 available in the cable. Once p...

Re: New Model D user with sweaty palms and sore seat

My Father In Law swears by his 'folded towel on the seat' technique for reducing saddle soreness So do I. The little folded towel works really well for over an hour rows, like HMs or Ms, or if I row often. As for the sweaty hands, I've always heard from my rowing coach that "that's the way", and we...

Taking pride into fixing the issue with System D

Good, so far everyone with pickup cable issue has ordered a replacement part. My PM3 is now stuck on zero after 3 years of loyal services, blah blah blah, it's my turn now... After unsuccessfully playing with the cable and massaging it in all possible ways, I just can't get the spin movement to auto...
