Topic: Modifying Or Replacing Handles

I like the length of the Model D handle, but after using it for a few months, I went back to the original wooden handle. I didn't like the grips on the Model D handle and after some effort, I replaced them with the grips used on the wooden handle. I think they were an improvement. However, I never c...

Draw a diagram of the seat including the concave area at the back. Buy a 1 inch thick piece of medium density foam rubber the same size as the seat and have them cut it to that size with the concave area in the rear cut out. When finished, it should look like the C2 pad. I don't know how much if a h...

FAQ

Regardless of what kind of music you like rowing to, I think that it would be nice to at least occasionally be paced by a metronome. I don't know of one that works accurately in the range of 20 to 40 beats per minute. Every one I've ever heard of is quite a bit faster than that. Is a metronome that ...

I agree that many MD'S don't know that much about sports induced problems. About three years ago, some microscopic blood showed up in my urine during a routine exam. I had a cystoscopy (not much fun) to see if there was anything in my bladder or urinary tract to cause it. It was negative. So was a s...

I noticed something about my Model D handle recently. The nut holding the U-bolt on one side was solidly against the handle. The nut on the other side was not. It wasn't touching the plastic. Both nuts were fully tightened. That seemed strange so I removed the handle and checked the U-bolt. I found ...

PROformance, it is true that finding the correct finger placement on the radial or common carotid arteries may be difficult for some people to do. And when they do locate their pulse, they often may not be sure that they're measuring it properly. I was referring to people who can easily and consiste...

Take your pulse manually, either at your neck or wrist. It's more exact than any monitor can be. If the result turns out to be 37 beats per minute, you can believe it. A pulse rate of 37 when you wake up is quite legitimate. As long as your average pulse rate during the day is also on the low side a...

To show how strange this Atkins mania has become, there is now a vitamin on the market which supposedly is for those on a low carb diet. It's One-A-Day CarbSmart. I've also seen low carb milk advertised. So now they're taiking advantage of vitamin and milk sales. I wonder what will be next. I'm sure...

>The only way to lose weight is to combine a healthy diet with exercise. <br><br>The only objection I have to that statement is to change the phrase to "effective way". There are many ways to lose weight. Most of them are ineffective. Some are even dangerous. If you burn up more calories than you ta...

I like the design of the Model D handle. I don't like the blue material that covers it. Very small specks of it seemed to "shed", for lack of a better word and it just felt uncomfortable. So I removed it. I had a couple of extra grips from the Model C handle and after some effort, I got them to to f...
