Concept2 Forum

I have a very well used Dynamic RowErg, made in 2013. For the last few weeks there have been occasional something-metal-vibrating noises when I'm rowing. Today the resistance stopped. Now the foot part won't move more than half-way forward and the internal chain seems loose. The shuttle channel seems to have moved elsewhere. I know it's broken and I'm asking for suggestions.

I'm in Rhode Island and I'm willing to pay someone to fix it if there's anyone near me. But I doubt this is so.

What should I take apart and look for to diagnose the problem? Or, is there anything I should read or watch to start me on the right path?

TIA, Fred

Welcome to the forum, Fred.

If you don't get much feedback here (there aren't many Dynamic users out there) then I'd definitely give C2 a call - they've always been super-helpful when I've called them with questions.

Good Luck

Thanks, Ombrax

I called C2 this morning and received a call back. Their technician talked me through the few things I needed to do and I'm confident I will be rowing even better/quieter than than before.

It appears that my problems were three: (1) I hadn't lubricated the chain; (2) the shock cord has weakened so it allows vibration in the retraction; and, (3) the vibration caused the chain to jump off the rear sprocket.

"Super helpful" is the right description.

Best wishes,
Fred
