rattling inside flywheel
rattling inside flywheel
I have an almost-new model D that I haven't used much yet, so I haven't done any chain maintenance yet. It worked fine the last time I rowed, a few days ago. I just got on, and there is a weird sound coming from the flywheel - it sounds as though there are little plastic balls rattling around in there. What could be going on?

Re: rattling inside flywheel
I'd open the cage and clean out the inside.

Re: rattling inside flywheel
Apparently the cover had worked itself loose or out of alignment. I took it off, and when I rowed there was no noise. I put the cage back on, making sure it was tightened and lined up, and the noise is gone. That was easy!
