|   Polar cadence sensor | Juan
Jan 10, 2003 5:55 PM | | Anyone recommends the cadence sensor for the polar 710 ?
Is it worth the money? How can I improve my training with it ?
Thanks in advance |

But on the road it's useful to analyze your HR vs. cadence to see what kind of pace you can sustain and where you blow up. (This would work on a MTB on smoother, flat terrain also but most trails I ride have steeper hills.) Watching my cadence has helped me to become more of a spinner and to have a more efficient pedal stroke. For $30, I find that it is useful information. |

Jan 13, 2003 4:36 AM | | I just got one for my S710 and it's great. I have my road bike mounted on a trainer and most of the workouts I do are based on cadence, gearing and resistance changes. Having all the HR-related info consolidated with speed and cadence is great. I'm not going to bother mounting the cadence kit on my MTB since it is a singlespeed and cadence doesn't matter....I just pedal!
