Hi folks,
Just upgraded my Polar HRM to a 720i, having a really hard time making things work in terms of the speed sensor & magnet:
* The bladed forks on the SL's don't help but the magnet part seemed to attach OK to the very top of the spoke, before the blade expands. But it has to be way up there.
* The supplied tie-wraps for the sensor don't fit around the thick part of this fork, after running around some I found some longer ones but still, the very shape of the fork is just not conducive to having a sensor mounted there, at least not with tie wraps. I managed to make it work for about 10 miles and then it quit.
I assume this would be a common problem with these forks and any brand speedo, any good workarounds for the plastic tie-things?
Other than that the watch is great.
On a side note, did conquer the install of the cadence sensor on a Litespeed Ti downtube, not easy - but first time I ride with cadence-awareness, that was interesting.
Anyway, any tips on how to secure this speed sensor to my fork would be greatly appreciated!
