Drag Factor readings

[Enda777]

Shock cord replacement will sort out the drag factor.

No, it will not. During the recovery, when drag is measured, the flywheel is even disconnected from the chain, sprocket and shock-cord. as they move in opposite directions

All I can say is that regardless of logical reasons, I replaced the bungee and the drag reading went from 112 @ 5 to 130 @ 5.
Hard to know why this rectified the drag.

However, having rowed the machine the other day, its still difficult to get the watts up to where they should be.

I will replace the chain next. Failing that, I will buy a new rower.

That is a bit drastic isn't it?

What is your reference for the watts?
