Hello everyone, I smashed my Heart rate monitor. I was
looking at getting a new one.. I was thinking about the
Polar s520 cause it has the heart and speed and mount..
But am open to suggestion. Thanks for any input.. Joe

PS.. UPS still sucks and havent sent me a check for my
broken single speed.

What monitor did you break?

I can't blame you. In fact, I'd have to say it seemed like a
good idea to me.

Smart move. Now, you are free.

Yep, free to train in all the wrong areas according to whim.

The 520 is OK as long as you realize the difference to the
720. Mainly less memory and not the option to add a Power
Sensor at a later point. I can't really think of any other
differences, except price. You won't need any other
computers on your bike since you'll have speed and probably
cadence too as an option.

Another thing to consider is that if the computer you just
smashed had been a Polar you'd probably not have had to buy
a new one. Their warranty and customer support is awesome.
I've crashed and smashed my cadence sensor. Got a new one
within a day. I dropped my HRM on a concrete floor and
smashed the front and LCD display. Got it repaired no
questions asked.

Sorry, but that is not akin to Pete Townsend smashing
his guitar.

Wonder what kind of Warranty he had when doing that? Not
that he'd need one 😉

Hell, nobody would have given him a warranty. I wonder how
many Rickenbackers went to pieces in his hands?

Yeah I always wondered about that too. Like did they fix 'em
up between gigs so he could smash the same one again. Did he
exchanger his favorite for the smashee etc? Like I'd really
hate to smash an instrument I was fond of. Imagine smashing
your bike just because people were paying you to do it.

Imagine smashing your bike just because people were paying
you to do it.

I always though it was the height of arrogance even when
performed as a semi-sincere gesture, let alone as a near-
requisite finale... "This performance is the absolute zenith
this instrument could achieve. Better to smash it now, since
any lesser use would be a desecration."

Better to smash it, than to pass it along to someone
deserving, who can continue to give/receive joy of it?

Give me a freakin' break.

Which reminds me. What have you got in your garage? Got
parts, maybe even a whole bike, just sitting there? There's
somebody out there who'd like to have them. Ask your LBS
about local bike-related charities.

He used to bastardize with salvageable parts and piece
guitars together to smash again.

Hey I got six kids. I don't need to go looking. At least two
are out on a bike right now as I'm writing this.
