Hi there,

Sorry if this subject has been covered before. I tried a search through the forum but couldn't find anything relevant. Anyway, if I would stop wittering, can anyone share their knowledge of what (If any) 3rd party heart rate monitor straps will work with a Garmin Edge 305 unit please?

Unfortunately my (Well out of warranty) heart rate monitor's workings have corroded horribly inside, most likely due to me being unfit and extremely sweaty. Therefore I could do with getting a replacement but, being a tightwad, would like to spend as little as possible. Even if there are no cheaper alternatives to the Garmin replacement strap, can anyone recommend a cheap place to buy a Garmin one? I'll, of course, scour round eBay in the hope of a bargain but wondered if anyone knows of anywhere else too.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can and does help. Happy cycling all and thank you for taking the time to read this. (Toadying over)
