Ok is there something wrong with my Polar or is it just not set up correctly and I am getting fitter:? 1) Rode MTB on saturday however had the calibration for the road bike: race was 20 km watch said I had done just over 10km.... 2) In the gym I now average between 140 and 150 whereas before I was averaging between 150- 170 ? Could my settings be wrong >? maybe magnet on mtb is wrong and the watch has a problem ...ideas ? suggestions?

I just purchased a Merida sub 40 for R5k and love it...has hydrolic disc brakes hardtail, nice...

hey excellent feedback thank you all... I will play around with the fitness test I do have a Polar and it does have this option... LOL thought that was just the tablets

Hi Need some help and direction please I have a HR and spin in the gym and ride on the road for races etc... It seems my max heart rate that I can get on the monitor is 182 and when I start it is around 90 - now a few weeks later when I really push I battle to get up to 182 again...is this because I am fitter or am I not pushing as hard? Also for gym I tend to range between 140 and 175 is this good? Ok I am over weight and ju7st getting back into the swing of things , some hints and tips will be appreciated

Hi all Been shopping around in the price range of around R5000 for a bike and have found the Silverback Alpine to be the best value for money, is this correct? Anyone got one ? Are you happy with it? If not which one would you recommend in my ball park....? NB I am a roadie at the moment and looking at exploring more of cycling in the form of MB so the bike would be recreation riding 2 - 3 times a week and the odd race...

mm Points not at this stage...wow there is a fair price difference between the CS300 and the 625 and 725..any one have a second hand one going?

Ok I guess the RS800 would be awesome however that is just out of the bracket for a novice.... Which one would your recommend for a 1st HRM the polar CS300 or something simpler and better looking....as I am new to the whole HRM monitor thing and just want something that can tell me I can push more I would like to monitor my usage and down load info etc and compare...what would you suggest ? I have a bike computer so I am not overerly concerned with cadence and speed unless this is tracked on each ride and can be compared later... Thoughts and comments are welcome please

Great thanx for the feedback... Goals...ummm my last 94.7 was a smidgen under 4 hours so yea if I could achieve a 3h30 for the 94.7 that would be great!

Another question for you guys... As I have just started riding after a years rest I am getting back into it... Races: I have done 3 this year: ride for site: 60Km Randforntein: 67 Km Springbok: 80 question is should I be concentrating on the shorter rides under 80 km or should I be pushing for more mileage on the bike and go for the longer and keep imporving at the longer mileage...?

Hi all I have a question about training..I went for my first club ride on Saturday and boy it was hard...the question I have is when you train do you use gels like you do in a race ie 1 before you start and then 1 every 45 minutes ? the club ride is 60km...I have just started out again after a years break....
