Best seat pad?

[JaapvanE]

BTW after my session today I tried to scientifically measure if the Citius Remex is any softer/squishier than the c2 seat: according to my calibrated measuring device (my finger), it isn't. They are just as stiff or very close to (maybe the CR is a tiny bit squishier than the c2 seat, but really it's a big maybe and if, just barely). I think it's the shape that does the trick.

Thanks for the scientiffic experiment . I guess that when the pad gets too squishy, it probably wouldn't provided the support it does now. And, it is a sport, it should still hurt a little. Too much comfort and we all turn into the humans of Wall-E.

Why should I, and people like me, and people who are embarrassed about their body, and modest people of faith, be forced to wear a tight top because Concept 2 can't be bothered to fix this simple mechanical problem?

There you go, Concept 2. Simple problem. Simple solution.[youtube][youtube]https://youtu.be/v03PFCEkhzU?si=PIk9p7jbREL6QevT[/youtube][/youtube]

My first reaction is that it is a huge safety risk when falling off at the back (strapless rower). This is a thing that happened to me twice: once when I tore the band of my NordicTrack, and once when drag was set ridiculously low.

And it doesn't work for really longer stuff anyways.

Not sure what you mean? Why wouldn't it? FWIW, I've done a strapless FM and didn't have any issues.

I row 100% strapless, including two HM's a week. I meant longer clothing. That handle thingy will not keep my poncho off the rail, as it is far to long. But it could hurt my back badly when I shoot of at the back (doesn't happen often, but often enough to worry about it).

OK gotcha.

Seriously... if someone wants to install a safety rail for long t-shirts go for it. Post pictures. Not happening. Just like chain covers for bicycles so you can pedal with floppy pant legs. **

We have a genius stirring the pot. Think we'll discover he has a youtube channel and there's a panel discussion before each post about what would be most triggering and a keyword bingo session set up for the replies.

** heading off the discussion of shaft drives. just no.

A small towel, folded over.

I used to do this until one day somehow it unravelled, caught in the rollers and unceremoniously dumped me painfully on rail behind the seat...

Ian's experience shows both the potential danger of a folded towel and/or a shirt tail getting caught under the seat roller - a tumble backwards and cracking your head on the rail or the floor. The simple guard shown in the 6 second video (installed 15 years ago) prevents this from happening. Your collective objections to this sensible addition have no merit.
