Huh I love C2s but have always felt that each rower s values were different. I'd feel the same level of exhaustion in one machine on a 3 compared to a ten on a different machine. Assumed some tolerance was off!

are you aware of the drag factor? Afaik, that is the exact measurement of resistance, not the damper on the side. The damper setting and friction will differ greatly from machine to machine, especially older, worn out machines.

Yes, like other commenter said - check the drag factor when you hop on each machine.
