Can I extrapolate 100m performance for 500m in terms of DF and spm?

For info, I have been doing some 'research' and have spoken to a number of 'fast' sprinters, the lowest df so far has been 180, the highest 246.

246? That is without the cover?

btw what is the max DF on an average, well-maintained Concept2?

I would expect so, i removed my cover and have not looked to see what the max is, one repsodent to my requests for info tried a Df of 360 but their pb was at 248. I did try at a df of 235, far too high for me.

mine was c.208 before i removed the grillage.

On a new RowErg it is at least 200 (see https://www.concept2.com/service/monito ... rag-factor), which turns out to be 225 (at least mine).

Mine was 246 when I first got it, without taking off the cover.

It was a barely used erg that C2 used to sell at a slight discount following BRIC, so I'm not sure if there was any specific maintenance that they did. Now, when I clean the flywheel, it gets to circa 214.
