Erg Fan Accessory

Post by sixfoot10 » May 9th, 2010, 7:16 pm

Hello all,

Does anyone know of a fan type accessory for the erg? A sort of add-on that directs the wind coming out of the enclosure towards the rower. I remember seeing such an accessory in a rowing magazine a several years ago, but I can't remember anything about it.

Thanks!,
Erik

C Breeze. Must Have in my view. I'll probably start using an extra fan as the summer progresses

Yes they are good and a must in the summer months.

Not sure how well they would fit on a Model D & E due to the way the fan housing is held in place.

Took a while to even get it set-up perfectly on my Model C. A bit more difficult than it looks and during trials at a fast pace it blew off due to the elastic not being tight enough ! :lol:

Best way is to thread the elastic under the plastic bridges on a model D/E. I don't bother doing that on a gym machine and it doesn't come off often enough to make it useless. I do find it lowers the drag much more on a model D.
