If you have been reading or even care, I started a thread about power units, polar vs the others. I went with the polar unit mostly on cost and the fact that I could be the test rabbit for my shop (being we sold both SRM and the power tap to customers). So I installed it as close to instructions as possible, but there was a little problem that arose. I put the power sensor 7 mm lower than the chain (instructions say between 5mm and 10mm). The problem is, when ever I am in the small chainring in the front and the 3 or 4 smallest cogs in the rear (I use campy record 10spd) the chain rubs on the unit. Is this normal? I am just concerned that it might wear marks in the unit. I put a brand new chain on the bike so chain stretch isnt a problem and everything works perfectly (all sensors read fine), I just didn't think that the chain should touch the sensor due to the magnet pulling it there.
A quick point may be made that the bike has only been in a mechanics stand and not on the ground yet (being its -5 F here in Maine and im not going out in that).
I will be calling polar or emailing them tomorrow, depending on my repair schedule at my bike shop, but I was just curious if anyone out there had this problem and what was done about it....This is the first polar unit we installed and I want everything done properly incase there is another customer who would want one.
Thanks
Mike
