rower squeeking near the flywheel --

Post by eric » August 28th, 2011, 11:39 am

i row 1/2 marathons and am noticing the flywheel area squeeking at times during my row.

i applied mineral oil to the chain, but to no avail -- still squeeking.

thoughts?

THANKS!

Check all the screws are tight holding the front frame off the Erg off the ground.

The one way bearing in the flywheel may need some lubrication.
