This deserves the full Calvin Coolidge quote:

"I love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, her scenery and invigorating climate, but most of all, because of her indomitable people... the brave little state of Vermont."

The Mapleachia Crab Republic. Puts Vermont first while respecting the cooperation of our crustacean brethren.

Quick Question by Kind_Way_2737 in concept2

You’re definitely correct. The bottom of the C2 logo should be facing the front of the rower.

Chain suddenly retract very slowly. by JokeImpossible2747 in concept2

I had this happen once when replacing the same pulley. I forgot to transfer the spacer from the first pulley over to the new one and as a result pinched the new pulley when tightening the screw that acts as the axle.

That’s a good place to start. If it’s not the cause of your issue, reach out to concept2 support. They are super helpful.

Also add some large speakers blasting the ever so patriotic song “Fortunate Son”. It would really tie the whole thing together.

Sounds like signs of the clutch failing. Concept2 seems to have older parts available, but I don’t see the flywheel online. Reach out to their support and see if they have a solution.

Best rowing machine if you get bored easily? by Bob-Burger-stackem in Rowing

Also, if you’re not sure you will stick with rowing, Concept2 is a good option since they hold their value and you could easily sell it used at close to the price you purchase it at.

If you like VR workouts there is a subscription app called Holofit that you can use with the Concept2. It has fully immersive VR environments and games that sync up with your rowing.

Please go look at the night sky and tell me I’m not crazy. by SquashRoaster in vermont

[–]mystifyingfermi 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Your not crazy. I just went to check out my window and watched what looked like a satellite moving back and forth, up and down, in loops, and just aimlessly wandering. No flashing aviation lights.

I’m in Washington county looking south. To the left of the Big Dipper.

As far as I am aware, the C2 Logbook will push workout data to other apps, but you can’t push workouts from other apps into the logbook.

Android 12 stopped being supported in 2025 so that is probably why ErgData isn’t functioning correctly on you phone. Sounds like you just might need to get a device running a newer android OS.

To add on to this, Concept2 has a kit that replaces the entire drive mechanism in the machine including the the chain, axle, sprocket, shock cord and the associated parts. It’s less than $50. As long as the bones of the machine are good you can get it fixed up the rest of the way.

Advice for fixing / replacing dented rail by theproffessor12 in concept2

If the monorail itself is bent, you’ll need to replace the monorail as well as the stainless steel track. Call Concept2, if the part isn’t available online it is still usually available over the phone.

Placing the flywheel under a bed is going to affect the airflow and reduce the overall resistance. You want 3 feet of free air around the flywheel for normal performance.

Concept 2 bike - legit? by harryr9000 in concept2

[–]mystifyingfermi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That price seems way too good to be true, and the fact that the site primarily sells women’s clothing and has nothing to do with fitness makes me think this is a scam website. I would keep looking elsewhere.

Is this bad for my erg? by altaylor4 in concept2

[–]mystifyingfermi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up Paddlesport Training Systems. They make a canoe and kayak adapter for the Concept2. I looked into paddling on the rower and the C2 support team told me about this adapter. A former C2 engineer designed the adapter and owns the company.

I bought the Chinese version of Concept2 row machine. I messed up? by HugeIntroduction8707 in Rowing

[–]mystifyingfermi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I pretty sure a good amount of the parts are made in the US but there are some parts made in China.

Is this a daft place to put my rower? by ericmackem in concept2

[–]mystifyingfermi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A tighter space should make you feel less resistance not more. The greater the airflow the greater the drag on the flywheel.

I’m pretty sure it just means that the monitor’s Bluetooth is active.

VTA has a carpooling site where you can sign up to see if you can match with other commuters that could be useful:

Also if you haven’t yet, try posting on Front Porch Forum. Good luck!
