Re: Setting drag factor

I'm very interested in this bike however I'm a little concerned about what I am seeing regarding the level of difficulty at the lowest drag setting. It is important to be able to spin at about 80 RPM and it sounds like it could be a problem to do for long periods. This bike would be used by both me...

All quiet on the Western front.

This could be a good thing as there seems to be no further concerning feedback/comments in this forum, facebook, youtube or the net since the bike erg was released just over a month ago. I take it that majority of the users/owners are generally happy with the bike erg.

Re: New kid on the block - BikeErg

For people who have bought or started using the bike erg - how does the ride feel? Is it closest to riding a real bike or is it just like any other spin bikes? Also I've noticed the seat can't be adusted forward/backward just up/down. I wonder if this could be an issue for some people relative to wh...

Re: Concept2 Model D3?

The comments made here may hold true to a lot of existing Concept2 customers, however, it could be a different story to a business entity in today's world. Lots of big companies these days have to diversify their products in order to move on, not suggesting that C2 is struggling, all I am saying is ...

Concept2 Model D3?

Has Concept2 thought about producing a cheaper version (D3?) of the erg intended for the not so serious user. I am a happy D2 owner, however I have been asked by friends if there is a cheaper version other than 2nd hand. I know Concept2 will not sacrifice quality but perhaps a home user version with...

Nut comes off, hits idler pulley

The rower at the gym was making a funny noise at the start of a workout and was quiet again soon after. A few days later a nut was found beneath the rower. It turned out the nut (no. 18 on parts list) that locks unto the buttonhead screw which secures the end cap has come off. Checking for damage in...

Manually turning off PM3

Hi, I'm a long time lurker to this forum but now a member. Finally purchased my Model D2 last week after months of saving. I note that the PM3 turns itself off after about 1 minute of no activity while in the main menu, however I noticed that pressing the "Menu/Back" key 3 times in quick succession ...
