I’ll bring some in and see how they sell.
Which model do you think is the best?
Tough call, since the measurable effects of the “Hard Chrome” treatment on the Red AXS chain are (afaik) unknown, and the Force v. Red testing is inconclusive - the Force chain started out as lower friction, but who knows how the Red chain might have ended up given it dropped out of testing after just 2 hours.
Both Red and Force seem to have a more significant “break in effect” than other chains to reach a steady-state friction value. Unfortunately all testing ended after just 13 hours on that test.
But given the very little information we have, I’d guess the Force chain might be the one.
Looking to buy a Concept 2 rower.
Do they ever go on sale?
They don’t seem to. I just bought a Model D with 16,350 life time meters on it for $650. There are deals out there on used machines if you keep an eye open.
Do Cee Gee’s ever go on sale? I’ve been on the fence for a while. They’re not particularly cheap to start with and their international shipping charges do not help.
