Can someone recommend a HRM?

craker

I'm after a heart rate monitor, with a budget of £50 to £80.

Not too sure what to expect from a HRM - once I start using it I suppose I'll find out what it hasn't got. I want to use it on my new 10 mile each way commute and maybe for training for the odd sportive ride.

Computer connectivity would be a bonus but I don't know what I'd expect from that.
If it's a bike mount computer then cadence sensing would be good.

Thanks

Hi,
I am not sure what the UK prices are like, but I use a Polar F11 (they have various models)
and I am more than happy with it:
It still works when there is another HRM nearby (some can stop measuring then!) and it is really easy to use.
It isn't specifically cycling orientated but I know Polar do have some of those in the range.


The only problem I have is not being totally obsessed about how well I am cycling within the "correct" limits!! :?

Mavic Wintech HR.

Little above budget but the best looking on the bike.

Lidls, I've bought 2 over the years and they last and work well. It's got upper and lower heart rate zones, Calories used, Average Heart rate and maximum. It was about £18. Good stuff!
Also, I'm looking on Ebay to see if I can buy an Exercise Bike which shows Wattage Output. I can use it through the year to test out how I'm shaping up. A lot cheaper than Powercranks.
