I spent my hard earned money on this Top Of The Line HRM/computer thinking that if it was good enough for Lance it was good enough for me...WRONG! What do these german engineers thin these days anyways. Fi

1. First of all can you believe this computer has on big fat CADENCE WIRE!!!! unbelievable for an expansive piece of equipment.
2. Its uses a black rubber band to fasten itself to the handle bar...try riding over cobble stone and rough surfaces RATTLING ALL OVER THE PLACE!...this thing is complete piece of junk.
3. After I have stopped riding the thing sometimes still records time and distance even though the bloody bike is parked up...

I tried emailing Ciclosport to get help and they wont even respond!!! And lets not even talk about the instruction manual that is so $hitty that you even have to pull out your calculator to calibrate the most popular 700x23 tires..... I feel so violated and now I have to purchase the Polar DAMN!!!!!

Polar has many faults, but of all the HRMs I've tried I keep going back to them because they work. Just got a 720i off ebay for about $240. Works great. Has an auto start/stop feature that seems to work well on the bike. I don't really care about power metering but that is another $250 or so if you need that. Cadence another $40. Speed come with.

That is the funniest avatar to date! I also love the one with the cat pulling off the invalid picture icon. Priceless. Yeah also just bought a s720i from ebay for about 225. Should be great, can't wait.
