Concept 2 "Triathlon"

[RayOfSunshine]

I see now...



It shows up as MultiErg



Is there a Million Meter club for MultiErg? I'm thinking about the free t-shirt.

[gvcormac]

Meters are added to the grand total, for sure. And not to your t-shirt totals. It is news to me but I'm willing to believe that they work for the "do all you can" challenges but not the "set piece" challenges.

Anyway, I used ethernet cables; it worked, but I'm not willing to hard-wire the ergs on a regular basis.

I'm sure that'll change--small steps forward.

My understanding is that the new PM5s have green CII logo, while older ones have white. I have had no problems with my three green ones. The oldest is the one on my nearly-2-year-old bikeerg.

I haven't had a problem with the bluetooth, but I haven't used the ergathlon feature that often.

Mine are green as well. No problems so far. I only have the rower and ski. I'm enjoying the ergathon and am considering getting the bikeerg. Of the 3 ergs, which do you use the most?

The PM5's on my ergs are all green logoed, but are unreliable when using ergathlon via bluetooth.

I use the Bike most, then there's no clear winner between ski and row. I use the bike for 30+ minutes every morning while I wake up and have coffee and read email/news. So I put on about 4000k/year. The Bike, unlike the skier and rower, is hands-free. That's the reason; nothing to do with the quality of the exercise. For pure exercise I prefer the RowErg, but there's 35 years of familiarity built into that. I like the SkiErg too, and have put about the same number of meters on that as the rowErg, since I got it about 1/2 year ago.

I generally do 5 mins of row and/or ski (approx. 1km) as warmup for my strength exercises. That's after the morning bike.

Thank you. I ordered the bikeerg yesterday after looking through the message boards and messaging @caseyclarke who also had a lot of experience on all 3. If you have any suggestions on accessories, please let me know

Yes. Order the toe clips for $5. Also check seatpost height. You can order shorter or longer than standard, I think. That said, I'm fine with standard, as is my wife who is 4'10".

Also, I built a table for my Bike Erg. In the alternative, you can find manufactured ones, but they are a bit pricey.

The Bike Erg now comes with a tablet holder, which may be adequate. But I prefer the table.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

I had a problem connecting to my rower (oldest of the 3) yesterday. I saved it as a favorite erg to ErgData (you can choose 1 rower, 1 skierg, and one bikeerg). Today, I did my 1st sprint ergathlon with all 3. I enjoyed the variation. Lots of room for improvement. I think a good LONG term goal for me is sub 24'.
