FowlStArt Posted October 6, 2010 Share My POLAR heart rate transmitter strap bombed out a while back (not bad as it has lasted me quite a while) But in going to purchase another strap I find that it will cost me nothing under R650 for the strap alone.I can get a CS100 (obviously comes with transmitter plus all the standard fittings) off chain reaction, pay postage and duties and get it for R790, I then have a spare monitor which i can put on my MTB and it only costs R140 more. How the greatness can our LBS's and the importer justify such huge markups, Shocking how we all getting ripped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted October 6, 2010 Share Are you sure it's the same strap? The new straps you don't replace the transmitter but just the strap for R160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FowlStArt Posted October 6, 2010 Share Yeah the actual transmitter is stuffed Mamp's, had it for a few years so it was due, was out training and next thing I had no heart rate lol thought it might have been hekpoort (and i was lying back down the hill lifeless) lol but alas. The new 1's you can replace the battery if I am not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Off artists - They have also cornered the market on repairs and battery replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
