Wintech Carbon Fibre Rigger

No, ergs don't yet float, but some of us do, and here's where you get to discuss that other form of rowing.

Wintech Carbon Fibre Rigger

Post by WildRose1 » March 28th, 2021, 11:47 am

I need some help on the set up of a used Wintech International with a carbon fibre rigger. I have two questions...
1) When the rigger is attached to the shell, the centre attachment spot (it has 5 attachment spots, 2 on each side and one in the middle) sits slightly above deck. It can be cranked down using the wing nut or should that space be filled with washers?

2) Should there be a metal washer between the top of the bolts and the metal inserts in the attachment spots in the rigger?

Since no one has given you an answer, I'd suggest contacting Wintech directly. Their info is easy to find online.

Couldn't locate any photos that might help with your questions. I would contact Wintech; https://wintechracing.com/international-racing/. Here are some general thoughts.

1) Adjust the height of the rigger to suit your size and the conditions. May need washers, may not.

2) I would put washers under the bolt heads (and under the nuts on the bottom if applicable) to prevent possible damage to the insert.
