Titan29er Posted January 5, 2014 Share I'm looking at getting myself a HRM. Not to expensive. Saw one's for about R550.00. Cyclo and Sigma products. Will this be sufficient enough? Just want to use it for MTBing. Also in the process of stopping smoking.....2014 must be a good year for me. What is your suggestions on the HRM?

Slanghoek Louis Posted January 5, 2014 Share Hi We use Polar X4 and no problems. Wet dry mud and sweat. They handle all. Your nearest mr Price sport or support your lbs like we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G... Posted January 5, 2014 Share I also went down the road of HRM, haven't used it this season. Your body will tell you when you at your limit. I found I was to worried about it on rides. My opinion don't waste your cash. quintonb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most will say that a HR monitor is a necessity, certainly not a luxury.Somebody else mentioned "your body telling you when it's at its limit" ... while this may be true, it won't tell you if you are training at optimum zones.Money well spent if utilised correctly. lone one, mikkelz and ChUkKy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is the crux of the matter, I bet a very very small percentage of people actually make use of the info provided as an analysis tool after and even less during a ride .......

I may be wrong but I doubt it Yea, but I mostly blame that on the hondnaai software bundled with the devices....you need to go aftermarket if you want to slice and dice your data. But like they say in the classics...you still need to pedal the donnerse bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are lekker little toys and they make things like strava fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterza Posted January 6, 2014 Share Wahoo bluetooth belt....just google it....they make good stuff Anyone know if these things work on Android? I see lots of talk about iPhone but nothing about other OS's. Also, anyone know how long the CR2032 battery lasts? Those batteries are not cheap if you have to replace regularly.
