The drag factor gap is real

A maintained machine
makes your results explode

Unmaintained ergs lose measurable resistance. Damper 6 on a dirty gym machine can read ~100 drag factor instead of 150 — you're training harder for less output.

Damper setting vs. drag factor

Lever setting is more useful than most people think. A dirty machine at damper 6 behaves very differently from a clean race-floor machine at the same setting — you could be training at half the intended resistance without knowing it. Check drag factor via Menu → More Options → Display Drag Factor.

Damper Setting Clean Machine Drag Factor Dirty Machine Drag Factor Resistance Loss
10 (Max) ~210 – 220 ~100 – 110 ~50%
5 (Mid) ~120 ~70 – 80 ~35%
1 (Min) ~90 ~55 – 60 ~35%
HYROX race floor: Damper 6, drag factor ~150. If your gym machine feels lighter than a race-floor erg, check the drag factor and adjust your training damper to match. Gyms run dirty machines — damper 6 might only give you ~100 drag factor instead of 150. Damper between 4 and 6 is common for training; personal preference varies by stroke rate.

Why choose Shekunov?

I let my actions speak for me. But here's what most people ask before they reach out.

⏰

I am always on time

When I say I'll be there, I'm there. I know your gym runs on a schedule and I respect that. No vague windows, no chasing me down.

🤝

Price agreed before I start

You will always know the cost before I pick up a single tool. No surprise invoices at the end. A proper repair bill is almost always less than the cost of downtime.

🏅

Two years. Many machines.

I've been rowing my whole life and repairing ergs for two years. I understand how these machines work from the inside — because I train on them too.

My Repair Promise

Here's exactly what you can expect — no surprises, no small print.

✅

Free first assessment

The first on-site visit is always free. I diagnose the issue, explain what I find, and give you a clear picture before anything else happens.

🔒

No work without your go-ahead

No paid labour and no parts orders proceed until you have approved the quote in writing or by message. You stay in control at every stage.

🛠️

30-day workmanship guarantee

If the same fault I repaired returns within 30 days and it is caused by my workmanship, I will fix it at no charge.

📦

Parts covered by supplier warranty

Replacement parts carry the warranty provided by the supplier or manufacturer. I will help you understand and claim it if needed.

💳

Payment on completion

Payment is due when the job is done, unless we agree otherwise in writing beforehand. Special-order parts may require a deposit or upfront payment before I can source them.

⚠️

What is not covered

The guarantee does not apply to misuse, accidental damage, faults unrelated to my repair, lack of maintenance, or normal wear and tear.
