Used model C - need some maintenance advice

Post by markb » July 30th, 2007, 4:28 am

Hi,

I just won a C2 Model at auction from a fitness centre, price was okay, the machine looks fine but I realise of course i was up for some replacement bits.

It makes the grinding noise from the front and I have inspected the chain, looks fine, sprocket i think is okay.

Opened the rower up and upon inspection the chain idler pulleys look very worn with a lot of lateral free-play.

List of items to purchase

1)chain idler pulleys (2)
2)handle attachment thingo as it's wearing through.

The handle seems to return okay but the shock cord does feel quite loose but not having seen/felt a brand new one I am not sure if I should replace it.

All the bits are pretty cheap and otherwise it just needs a good clean but wanted to know if I am missing something.

Thanks

Mark

Sounds good. Be sure to keep it well oiled.
