Begin rowing, skiing or riding. A damper setting of 3 on your home machine may feel like 4 on the machine at the gym. Wählen Sie Drag Faktor anzeigen. 2.

This is written for Crossfit indoor rowing athletes (may not suit rowers) but seems helpful. Set the drag factor heavier than on-water rowing, because the point of … I am new to this, and searched the Forum, but only got the drag factor setting on the machines, when I searched.

Found within the setting of the monitor on your Concept 2 machine, the drag factor is measuring the speed the flywheel slows down, giving that rate a number. SPM also come into play with drag factor and the fatigue associated with SPM. Ok I am writing this thread to clarify the drag factor on the Concept 2 rowers. I shake my head in dismay. Setting 1 will show a Drag Factor about 90–100 and setting 10 about 210–220 on a new rower. I know that there are some people who just jump on the erg and row at whatever it's set at, some who jam the damper to 10 because it's "more", and some who always pick the same damper setting, usually somewhere in the middle.
