I am using a polar s720i hrm; but I am disappointed at the short range
limitations of their speed and even the cadence sensor (which is a bit better). I would like to mount the speed sensor on my rear wheel to record data from sessions on my trainer as weather gets unfavorable. are there any aftermarket sensors compatible with polar that will provide the extended range I am looking for ? Thank you in advance Laz |

when will people realize that speed/distance measured on a trainer/rollers
has little to no correlation to the real world. cadence, power, and HR are the only things worth measuring on an indoor trainer (and even power isnt really a good correlation). otherwise youll be very dissappointed when spring rolls around and you cant maintain that 43mph average you had going on the trainer.

Thank you in advance Laz Hey You can open both the cadence- and the speedsensor and move the jumper to increase the sensors range. Default is set at the lowest range, so all you have to do is move the jumper. I don't remember which pin is the default, but there are 3 pins to attach to, and if your jumper is on the jumper on the left, simply move it to cover the one on the right. I beleive Polar has a "how-to" on their website www.polar.fi Have fun HB |

I beleive Polar has a "how-to" on their website www.polar.fi Have fun HB There are instructions on boosting the speed and cadence sensors' signal strength at http://www.pursuit-performance.com.a...d_cadence.html It's just a matter of moving the jumper around.
