|   Which HRM to buy? | Murray
Feb 13, 2002 9:45 AM | | Hi Folks,
Shopping for a heart rate monitor, I have it narrowed to either the Timex product or the Nike product. I previously tried a Sports Instruments HRM but found the signal was crap in the city, so it went back.
Does anyone here have enlightening experience to share? |

On my singletrack rides I end up with the damn thing beeping most of the time because I'm above my LT that I have it set for. It can be helpful for the trainer though. |

One of polar watches broke and other watch I lost. I don't recommend polar because of the hassle with battery life and repairs. The tranmitter is costly to replace. Performance bike has a couple of HRM for sale. Check out the reviews on this web site. |
