I've been trying to get a speed reading from my sensor mounted on the rear wheel and having lot's of
problems. I've gone through the Polar Forum and read everything said about this. Moving the jumpers
thus strengtening the transmission didn't help until I angled the sensor 90 degrees to the line of
the bike and put it as far up on the rear fork as possible. So now I have it jumpered to max and
taped onto the rear fork at a 90 degree angle, with electricians tape. So what's the problem? Well I
can't leave it like that at least not if I ever take the bike off the Trainer, plus I'm almost
kicking it with my heel on every pedalstroke, since it's sticking straight out. It seems that I'm
really at the edge of transmission range but according to other posts in the Polar Forum they didn't
have as much problems as this. One poster said he got away with an angle of 50 degrees. If I mount
mine as high as possible on the right hand rear fork I get maybe a 20 degree angle. This will send a
signal to about where the stem is fastened to the tube. Could my batterie be low? It's a brand new
unit and it transmitted nicely on the front fork in the low jumpered setting. It's not a big bike or
long stem or anything. 58 cm Trek 5200.
After riding my bike on the trainer the speed readings quit after about 15 minutes of working out.
When I moved the HRM down on the toptube they came back again.
There's got to be a way to come around this and I'd really appreciate any input I can get.
