Hi

We got two C2 about two years ago, and noticed those white flakes, after many hours of use there was still a lot of white flakes.

After talking to local C2 dealer we got new rollers, after installing them, the problem was solved. It must have been a quality issue!!!

Hi The Shock Cord Pulleys (part 1011) usually do have imperfections from the molding, I deburr the imperfections always, I use first a sharp blade, and then the finest sand paper. You will notice that the blue dust from the cord that usually accumulates inside will not be present anymore and you are...

I am trying to attach here a screen shot.

Hi

ErgData has frequently logged twice or more times my workouts, this happens on PM4 monitors (my ErgData is updated and also the PM4)

Any hint?

I did try one of those and the handle is as heavy as anything of that size can be.

To me was surprising the similarity, the chain looks the same and other parts too, but it does not feel the same.

I am not one of those guys who is happy wearing a fake Rolex, therefore this is a No for me.

I used to balance my bicycle tires with copper wire, a trick learned from a retired motorcycle racer who did the same thing with his bicycles. I simply turned my bicycles upside down on the garage floor, and spun the wheels around slowly. As the wheels sped up, slowed down and always stopped the sa...

Hi rakserv

what was the reason for the poping noise?

cheers

I suggest buying a new flywheel. Flywheels are expensive so do your research first. If you can, you could try another flywheel to confirm that indeed the flywheel is out of balance ( from a friend or from your rowing club), they are pretty easy to swap. I have tried to balance flywheels, but I have ...

C2 pads are best, they are washable! also a piece of yoga matt works fine. But the best thing is just to let your body adapt just like you get used to your bicycle saddle. And yes, C2 seats tend to harden over the years (or might be that new versions are softer, but not that much softer). I just rep...

MIght that the sprocket (or the chain) and the antithrow device (PN1002) are touching when pulling hard on the handle. The antithrow device slides out of position or might be also that the bearing cups (PN1013) are too dry or are too small, Replace the cups and/or wrap tape around to make a better f...

I use C2 oil only. There are many other oils that can be used, but check this out: Motor oil and many other oils stink, you do not want to have that smell indoors, nor do training sessions breathing this air. I degrease/clean my chains perhaps once every two years by taking it out and dipping it in ...

Hello Personally I have both models but prefer the old D, perhaps the handle is more worn out and is easy on my hands, also foot stretchers are more comfortable in my opinion. It is true that the new model D feels new, specially the flywheel noise is different, but you have to pay attention to notic...

I found out that I have the same problem after reading this post. I will be ordering a Christmas present for myself!

Thank you Carl

I do not have a lathe, but I will start collecting bits and pieces to build my own puller, I will try on an old unbalanced flywheel first.

Was aluminum you material of choice?

I will look into the cycling and biking shops, they might sell a puller for small bearings that could work.

For those interested, I did use the electrical tape to eliminate play on model D2.

It needs exactly 3 times around on the big bearing, and 2 times on the small bearing. The tape needs to be trimmed to width.
