The shaft length and the Set-able resistance lever on the 

flywheel should be set in balance with one another in order 

to provide the resistance level that best mimics your boat 

and paddle set-up.

As an approximate guide, a SpeedStroke shaft length of 

approx: 170 cm- (67 Inches) should equate to approx 219- 

220 cm paddle length, with a medium size blade area.

Do not extend the paddle shaft length over the “Max” 

length marks.

When extending the paddle shaft length it is very important 

that the shaft length is adjusted equally,( in relation to the 

shaft insert piece) – if this is not done – bending of the shaft 

[for which we cannot be responsible] may occur.

When short or intense efforts are being done on SpeedStroke 

GYM, usually over 125 strokes per minute (spm), and up to 

180 spm, as would be typical on a 200m workout- we restrict 

the continuous rope action, in order to be able to achieve the 

higher stroke rate needed.

SpeedStroke’s action is made better by the “continuous 

rope” system that is in place on your Ergometer, this thereby 

allows a more “real” paddling action. This continuous rope 

system allows better end-of-stroke recovery, and greater 

freedom to rotate whilst paddling.

When paddling at an Ultra high frequency- At a stroke rate 

above approx. 125 spm the rope in its continuous rope con-

figuration will not allow recovery sufficiently quickly to allow 

you to paddle at a higher frequency.

However- by the addition of a simple bungee clip system 

(which attaches to the underside of the SpeedStroke GYM 

bungees). See image right- This High Frequency adjuster will 

allow you to paddle at frequencies of up to 180 strokes 

per minute.
