How to row a 2K:
0-100m 'This is amazing, I'm going to PR'
101-500m 'I've made a terrible mistake'
501-1500m 'Hold on and pray'
1501-1900m 'This is taking forever'
1901-1999m 'Let this be done I may puke'
2000m *fall off machine, roll on floor like a fish on land*

We proudly stand by and support products we make, even back to the 1980s!
Bought a used rower last week, ordered some parts, swapped out the chain, a couple guides & some washers, cleaned up a little rust, etc. Now it's all ready for Dad to use.
I love companies that stock all the parts and provide easy maintenance guides, thanks @concept2

We truly stand by our product, our durability and our customer service. It's the amazing team behind the scenes at Concept2 that is answering the phones, troubleshooting and working to make our Concept2 Community the wonderful community it is.
After watching 2-3 years of the whole connected fitness phase (and passing on ALL of them, btw) I suspect the only survivor will be @concept2. Great product and even better operators.
