Hey Chris!

 

That pretty much covers everything then!

Thanks especially for the web-link - I'm sure it will prove very useful...

My major issue with my Edge: battery life is 6-8hrs max. You have to charge it after every long ride - thus can't be used in for example the Epic where you're not near a plug point.

I have a polar S725X, great, just find that the chest strap don't last long, start going hay-wire, tell me my HR is 240 when freewheeling. I guess the new stuff is good, cs400 and cs600, I know the coding is more advanced and the error correction is less, don't know if it can take power sensors though, wish polar can come up with a new system without wires.
