If you haven't already done so, think your best bet is to call C2 and see what they say.
Before I posted to the forum, I messaged C2. They said "Unfortunately, we don't have any information on a saddle or post combination that would allow the seat to adjust further forward."

Moving the seat forward

I'm trying to set up my bikeerg to match the geometry of my triathlon bike. I am using a seat identical to the one I have on my tri bike. When I have the seat all the way forward on my BikeErg, it's still a couple inches behind my seat on my tri bike (relative to the center of the pedals). Does anyo...

Re: Bring LWTs back to 2021 CRASH-B Sprints!

No one is excluding or abandoning LWs..... You just race in the "open" category. While it's true that lightweights can enter the "open" category, the weight advantage on the erg is pretty severe. I raced a lot of events this year without a lightweight category. When I've won or placed, I've conside...

Re: US Lightweight Indoor Rowing National Championships

Is it only Crash B that have stopped LWT or is it more common and spreading? It would be more accurate to say "USRowing has stopped offering lightweight events." This year, CRASH-Bs is also the USRowing Indoor National Championships. No USRowing-hosted event has had lightweights since the start of ...

I never been a CRASH-B guy but i can see their point. Can't really award a virtual LWT fairly.
You can't verify that people aren't using slides, but they are still prohibited.

Re: 2021 CRASH Bs

PaulG, Others: I have started a new thread in this competition forum specifically to ask people (again) to contact USRowing and CRASH-B to encourage them to reinstate lightweight events at CRASH-Bs in 2021. With deep respect and admiration to "bencoolb" for initiating a lightweight regatta, CRASH-B...

Re: US Lightweight Indoor Rowing National Championships

This looks like a great event. Is this a one off event or do you hope to hold it again in the future? It all depends how this one goes and what happens afterward. If people sign up and it's a successful event, I'll be happy to hold it again. I hope that it will attract a lot of competitors and othe...

Re: 2021 CRASH Bs

Ben also mentioned he was injured when he raced in BRIC so that explains his drop in time I previously mentioned. I apologise for doubting his integrity 🥺. Just saw this thread ... Yes, I had a pretty bad back injury 3 days before BRIC. If you watch the youtube stream, they interviewed me after the...

Re: Compare rankings

First: This is awesome. Thank you for making this.
For the USA, the concept2 database includes information on which state the person is from. Is it possible to include state as a searchable field in your database, so I could look up how I compare to people in my state?

Thank you,
Ben
