You need to press some mystic sequence on a PM2 headset to get it; on a PM3 it is easier to find.William M.

If you attempt to join I get an e-mail and have to accept you as a member. I will endeavour to do so promptly but give me a prod if I forget.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993670691450137694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101490682734992710.post-82495868280574098172011-04-14T21:57:15.913+01:002011-04-14T21:57:15.913+01:00If you mean drag setting on the rowing machine, th...If you mean drag setting on the rowing machine, the ones we have are adjustable between 1 and 10. I usually use a setting of between 4 and 5 for a feeling that is comparable to pulling in the 8+. I guess I should also admit (for the benefit of others or not) that I managed to only last 15min on the ergo this evening completing 3612m. If I double that it would put me right around my usual 72xx but that would be cheating. . . I could have pushed myself on-ward for the next 15 min. but I just lost my enthusiasm for it.William D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05095996026047013098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101490682734992710.post-27056635252946361072011-04-14T18:48:51.100+01:002011-04-14T18:48:51.100+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772412750834557701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101490682734992710.post-82487070485789358932011-04-14T18:25:34.086+01:002011-04-14T18:25:34.086+01:00Why does no-one ever post a comment :-(
