Can anyone tell me what rowing mashine I should buy ?

Concept2 machines are pretty much the best out there.  They do the best job of replicating the feel/motions of real, on-water rowing - that's why just about every rowing team/boathouse uses them.  You might not think that you care about duplicating what "real" rowing feels like, but there's a reason rowing is considered one of the best all-body workouts.  \n\nOne of the other posters suggested seeing if there is anyone local selling a used machine.  My parents bought a lightly-used Concept2 several years ago dirt cheap (about half of what it would have cost new).  The trick is to look in the Classified section of the paper and places like that.  Believe me, you'll be happier with a better machine and more likely to use it.  My parents used to have a "LifeRower" and I couldn't stand it - granted, I used to row in college, so maybe I'm overly picky but I didn't feel like it gave me anywhere near the workout of the Concept2.\n\nGood luck.

For a while Yamaha built motors for mercury, up to 15 hp. They are pretty much all Yamaha. I've had one of those since '81. I am a teacher and spend the summers (all) at the lake. I have never had more than two pulls to start the engine and have ZERO repairs. When I bought a larger bass boat in '99 I bought a Yamaha for this reason. I'd say it is better than a mercury, especially if it is older since there were issues with many older Mercs. I mine often as does my son.

You need better bearings.  ABEC rates there skate (roller-hockey) bearings from 1-9, 1 being the worst, 9 being the best. As far as I have seen, RB and SB bearings are the same size, I could be wrong though.\n\nAs a general rule of thumb, the more expensive, the better.\n\nIn other words, you're not gonna find them at Dick's or Wal-Mart, so the price will be genuine.\n\nGo to a hockey store and ask the guy working there.  Chance are he's not gonna be the shlub you'll find at Dick's durin the holiday season, he'll actually know what he's talking about.\n\nEither that or..... google it.... shhhhhhhhh..... you'll find what you need.

An ergometer is what is commonly known as a rowing machine, not a cycling one. Rowing is one of the best types of excercise for all round fitness, and an ergo is a great way to train without a boat. However, you should make sure you're getting the technique right, or you can damage your back etc, and waste energy.\nhttp://www.bgsbc.co.uk/igtr.shtml

Yamaha. As high up the range as you can afford. Look at around £200 / $300 for a nice one, and anything higher is a bonus.

They dont sell to many complete race bikes on there but I suggest building yourself up a Saats or Standard frame.  I am actually riding a Standard right now but am going to go with an aluminum staats for this racing season.  If you really want a complete the only race bike they sell is a MCS.

Check bass pro shops or cabela's...they both have several models available.  I believe they both have on-line ordering as well, and most models come with the inner tube.  They are great for smaller lakes and ponds.\nThey are called various names: float tubes, belly boats, etc...

This is really a matter of preferance, they are both good frames.  I have used the Wilson 6.1 classic prostaff for years and it is comparable to the two frames you have listed.  The hyper prostaff will have a slightly larger sweetspot with the larger head size, but I have heard good things about the ncode six-one tour.  Another racket to consider which I have recently played with is the Head liquidmetal prestige red frame.  It has a denser string pattern but suprisingly generates a generous amount of spin.  Actually it took me about 3 days of hitting before i really started liking the Head Prestige, but it was time well spent.  You may want to change to the n-code for no other reason except the hyper prostaff could be discontinued in the near future.  Anyways, good luck with your choice.

Hi Ricky\n\nThat could be a little tough to do (keeping it below 100 dollars.)\n\nHowever im sure that the Golf Galaxy who carries Maltby products could put one togeather for you with your specs. They have stores all over the country (USA).\n\nI think there URL is www.golfgalaxy.com\n\nLeon

Gary Fisher mountain bikes or Trek mountain bikes would I say. Just have a look at some options from these two brands.

Try ebay as a start then check Cabelas, Bass Pro and maybe Gander Mountian. I hope this helps. \nGood Luck and Tight Lines

burton or kemper. thats all i ever use, and have been using for years. they both have some pretty mellow graphics, not super flashy. i she a beginner or advanced? fiberglass cores are nice. woodcores get waterlogged. metal edged to great turns!
