Re: IMCT Running Club
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Pleased with a PB today on length and average speed of a run. 16.65 miles total at an average pace of 9:12/mile.
Tho I did it by cheating and getting dropped off at the top of a mountain pass and just running home, lol.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Jesus fucking Christ, I've had this rower for two months (plus a day) and it broke on me this morning. Rowing along, and a big snap sound came from within and all the tension went away. 830 total kms put on it. Emailed the company about repair or replacement, but now I'm wary that all these goddamned things are going to bust right away. Guess I have to set up my goddamned bike again.

Re: IMCT Running Club
A machine of rage, maybe. The magnetic part that provides the resistance still seems to work—I can hear it move in and out of place—so it's presumably just a cable of some sort. I thought it was an actual chain inside there, but now I'm not sure. Still, two months of use before breaking is damned shitty manufacture. If that's common, I guess I better know how to (a) get replacements and (b) how to install them myself.101Walterton wrote: ↑11 Jun 2020, 4:09pmYou are the machineDr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Jun 2020, 11:12amJesus fucking Christ, I've had this rower for two months (plus a day) and it broke on me this morning.

Re: IMCT Running Club
If they send the whole component, that's the guts of the machine and, like, 75 lbs. That seems really wasteful for what might just be a cable. But whatever. I just want to get back to rowing.101Walterton wrote: ↑11 Jun 2020, 4:19pmI would expect a replacement after 2 months I would not be happy with repairDr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Jun 2020, 4:16pmA machine of rage, maybe.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Yup, I looked, including before I bought it, especially after the last rower went splat on me. No red flags. It got plenty of positive reviews, no complaints about crap manufacturing.

Re: IMCT Running Club
That's almost certainly true. A friend said that most people use those things for two weeks and then let it gather dust. Fine, but the idea that a product for home use is good for only 800 kms is serious bullshit. I'm expected to buy a gym-quality machine? Give me a gym-quality cable, then, to put in there.revbob wrote: ↑11 Jun 2020, 7:12pmYou might just use it more than some people?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Jun 2020, 6:25pmYup, I looked, including before I bought it, especially after the last rower went splat on me.
