at Amazon Bike Setup:
Kestrel RT700 Summary:
The CS300 is a good HRM but a crappy cyclocomputer. The HRM has worked well although occasionally takes a few tries to sync. The cylcocomputer is always off a few miles as compared to my Astrale (wired). The CS300 always misses 3-4 miles of the ride. Strengths:
HRM:
Good repeatability
Gym compatible
Cyclocomputer:
Cadence works but costs extra
Clock works Weaknesses:
HRM:
Not enough zones
Cyclocomputer:
Misses miles
Front wheel only for speed Similar Products Used:
HRM:
Timex: Good basic HRM
Nike: Worked great for 1 year and died.
Cyclocomputer:
Astrale 8 - Great basic CC with Cadence and rear-wheel pickup.

at Nashbar Favorite Ride:
All Bike Setup:
updated vintage Allez-Epic carbon. Summary:
This unit is useless if you live anywhere near overhead electric lines. I dont know about others but, The areas where I ride tend to have electric lines running along the roadway. This causes the heart monitor to go crazy. Basically it's a $200 wrist watch that can double as a simple bike computer. Strengths:
None that I've found. Weaknesses:
Useless as a HRM for a road bike.
