Inner Tube Seat Positioners

December 2, 2011 By Hope

What are those inner tubes doing in my Paddling Adapter box?

In your Paddling Adapter box, you’ll find a bag with a spare 11′ cord and two bike inner tubes.  These are to keep the seat of your rower secure while you use your Paddling Adapter.  We borrowed the idea of using second-hand bike inner tubes from the Hawaiians, who use inner tubes to secure spare paddles to the iakus on their outrigger canoes.  We originally used a metal clamping assembly to secure the position of the rower seat while using the paddling adapter.

Rower Seat with Inner Tubes
Bike inner tubes are used to secure the rower seat while in paddling mode.

By wrapping a length of inner tube around the rower monorail in front of and another one behind the rower seat, you accomplish the same thing, while not causing any unnecessary wear on the Concept2 Rower’s stainless steel surface.  Simply wrap the inner tube securely around the monorail and tuck in the end.  We thank you and our local favorite bike shop, Chuck’s Bikes, for helping us do our little bit to conserve and help save the environment!

Thanks for your past regattas! Looking forward to the next one. In the meantime we have our 2023 Canoe Paddling Adapter World Rankings entry page up on our website if paddlers want to compete from home…Thank you everyone for your support of our Beasts from the East indoor regatta! We're so happy that people have enjoyed the event in the past and are reaching out about our plans for this year. Unfortunately, we will not be holding the 2023 regatta. Even though most people have some immunity against Covid now, we still do not feel comfortable with a crowded indoor environment potentially causing a super spreader event. But he on the look out for a bigger and beastier BftE in 2024!

If you are interested in joining other fun events, we will again be participating in the Shamrock Splash on March 6 this year to raise money for beach activation! Come for a refreshing dip in the water or to cheer on the brave souls! Check this link for more info savetheharbor.securesweet.com/about.asp

And if you're visiting Boston at any point and looking for some workout buddies, feel free to reach out and join us at one of our practices!
