HRM for an MTBer
Got a chum who is newly well into MTbing (and the health benefits etc). He wants a HRM and asked me for advice. I have a grasp of what is available for triathletes but he is not fixated that way... just MTB. He wants something he can download the data to a to a PC afterwards ... i'm in the process of ascertaining exactly what he wants to do with the data etc, but was wondering in the meantime if there were any more bike (MTB specific?) options available. i would imagine for example a GPS facility would be good, and thye list could well I am guessing include cycle computer, cadence counter (valid for MTBing?) etc. Given the dropoffs in technical MTB trails maybe an altimeter might be fun ;-) cheers didds |

Unless he specifically wants on-bike navigation and mapping then the lesser Garmin Edge 305 will fill all of his needs. I use one on my road bikes and it's a good bit of kit. Pretty well every cycling function that could be wanted. -- Nige Danton |
