How do you set drag? <br> <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><br> Are you using a PM2 or a PM3 monitor?<br><br>If a PM2 (model C) then when you first turn the monitor on press the rest and ok button together, and the word "drag" appears in the bottom right corner. Row until a number appears there and settles to a value, that is the drag.<br><br>If a PM3 (model D) it's something like more options, display drag factor on the menu, again row a few strokes till the number settles.<br><br>Drag is simply another way of saying the resistance. Reason for using it is because the actual resistance on a certain damper setting varies wildly from machine to machine, ie level 4 on one can be twice the resistance of level 4 on another (due to dust, proximity to a wall, etc).<br><br>Recommended drag factors, in my opinion, are:<br><br>Men: 130 to 140<br>Women: 120 to 130<br><br>Pete
