We got a rower second hand on Facebook marketplace earlier this year and my partner’s been using it. But our kids fucked with it and now the band with the handle on it won’t retract back in. Is it fucked?

    My spouse is a tinkerer and fixer who lives to save stuff from the landfill, and his favorite kind of person is someone who wants to learn how to save their own stuff. He would be delighted to help you.

    Please post pics or make and model as InevitableSwing@hexbear.net suggested, and we will do our best to get you sorted.

    just a guess, but check if the cable is twisted? pull it out all the way, make sure it's straight, don't hurt yourself

    the band with the handle on it

    There are many different kinds of rowers. I have Bodytrack so my rower has arms.

    If you take a photo and provide more info like the brand/model maybe r/rowers and/or related subs can help you.
