Re: Power meter for rowing machine??

I am so grateful for your time and efforts to provide me with any information about my query. In any case it looks like that there is no such thing as a widely compatible kind of power meter attachment for rowing machines. I would like thank you once more for your consideration. Have a nice day 🙂
