rate monitor status.
well, it seems like a few others have had issues with the sigma monitors. overall, i would say that they are an OK product but they seem to come with a battery that is just a tiny bit smaller then the standard US battery. this causes the back plate of the watch to sit up a little higher then ususual, thus causing the ever so important seals of the watch to "not" seal.
if i were to use them again, i would recomend getting replacement batteries from sigma direct for the battery for the monitor. the transmitter seems to work OK with the batteries from the local yocal target store.
so, i just ordered the same cateye heart monitors that MR. KERKOVE uses. these will be used on the mountain/cross bikes and sometimes on the road when i am going "old school" low-tech like and not running the newly ordered powertap schtuff.
should be interesting to see the results of the data - work has forced me to be a database kind of tech geek, so i have this mindset now that information is knowledge and the more i can get, the better.
hmm... sounds like i am selling something...
in other news... some interesting reads out there in cyberspace....

checkout the Garmin Edge 305 cycling computer. They can figure out wattage with only a cadence sensor and GPS. They have full data recording too for heart rate, altitude etc. Very cool!
