Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

One of the real bonus’s of the machine is that every part is purchasable AND replaceable by us mortals too.


A lunchhour and it's fixed. Cleaned inside the flywheel cage while I had the tools in my hand.

Dare I say it, there's a minor design flaw on the Model C which looks as though it was fixed on the D. The monitor pick up cable has to disappear into the frame under the bracket that's holding the PM. There's no channel for it there *shock* - it's just squished between the bracket and the frame! (See images 3 and 8 here concept2.com ).

Looks like that was sorted on the Model D - the cable enters higher up in the flywheel cage itself, behind a panel.

I’m intrigued! 7:31 time for a specific distance ( 2km maybe ? 🫣 )

Indeed, I thought that was the standard recorded one for the thread

It is for some of us... :-D

I'd be happy with that myself :-)

Sidebar updated. Nice work Mac! How did it feel? If you set off pacing for a 5k I'm guessing there might be a bit more in the tank?

Potentially yes, but I'm truly awful at pacing. I think lying to myself might be the way forward

So young Nellers. Any thoughts on next weeks 2km TT ?

Looking on your final 500 metres I suspect you could take 5 second off your time .. possibly upgrading the stroke rate.

Personally I’m looking for 10 seconds quicker minimum.

Pinning my colours to the mast I reckon I can get this old body to 7:39 or better. .. I may need a Defib handy though 🤣
