When walking, sculling, climbing hills, swimming, riding a bike I can do without electronics. Why is erging so dependent on junk?
Because it's indoors.

You need a monitor on the indoor rower unless your just playing on it.

I lost the USB connection the other day and the PM5 threw an error code, it was not fun trying to hit my 42minute flat 10K row.

Been incorporating Stu's MO of erging with eyes closed.
For steady days, I often use a cardboard cover over the monitor that only shows meters.

I think we've strayed too far off-topic now.
