lechatnoir Posted May 12, 2016 Share In my case a better example would be the ZAR exchange rate... always hopingthinkingwishing that next month will be better (ZAR stronger) You know you're in South Africa when the worsening exchange rate even affects old stock!

SwissVan Posted May 12, 2016 Share bluetooth is bluetooth. unless one is BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) However phonescan read it just fine so unless Polar is the holier than though it should work and Dcrainmaker seems to agreePolar is unique and special ????

Don't t think it is possible for the unit to pick up the speed from the computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the powerbeam blue tooth version work with the V800?I've got the Ant+ but will be thinking of trading in for the new "Hammer" version when its available Tristand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the Polar won't work with the PowerSync / PowerBeam BLE. controlling a trainer via a BLE devise other than a smart device is a problem at this point in time..... RE Trade-In.... just you hold tight.... we have something up our sleeves.... but just wish we could get stock of the things..... putting MASSIVE pressure on the USA for stock but might be a little way off.....

Not a problem since I have a gsc10 on every bike . Wonder what it's mtb performance is like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem since I have a gsc10 on every bike .Wonder what it's mtb performance is like If I remember correctly from reading the review, which was quite a while ago so I could be mistaken, the one area where dcrainmaker found accuracy issues was on bad roads, including gravel sections.If that is still the case, that they haven't improved it with a firmware update, then MTB will probably give it some trouble.
