fwiw the monitor on mine is basic but does what it needs to. Distance, time, calories, strokes per minute.
it's not a cult it's just that c2 has 30 years of refinement and resale value. Enjoy taking 50% loss when you sell your xebex in 4 years
standard #40 chain i think, replaced mine last year with a generic one no issues
xebex is pure air. They do make an air/magnetic hybrid model but the standard one OP is asking about is just air
interesting, whats the difference in feel between pure air and the hybrid version?
alright im just gonna go test some of these at a store. Internet opinions are useless anyway since half of you are crazy about c2 rowers and half of you wants to stick to budget rowers
