Polar s720i 'experts' in SF Bay Area?

skwanch

I have this HRM, w/ the power kit, installed on my bike. I can get speed, HR, altitude . . . but no cadence or power. I've tried using rare earth magnets on the crank . . . no dice. I've tried tweaking it, but have had zero success w/ that approach.

I'm looking for someone in the SF Bay Area who knows the system well enough to help me get it working - I'm willing to travel and compensate you for your time if we get it working and I can FINALLY capitalize on this investment . . .

if ya fit the bill, please ping me at skwanch dot speakeasy dot net . . . thx.

any other advice/things to check/try would be appreciated as well .. .

Have you turned the power option to "on" in the watch settings?

skwanch

Yes. All options are set to 'on'.

Are the LEDs on the power sensor flashing when the crank magnet comes by?

Just to rule out the silly ones, you're not using the wireless cadence sensor right?

If you're getting your speed signal from the power sensor, that means it's working right. Without the cadence signal, the meter won't calculate power. I'm guessing that your magnet is either too far or in the wrong spot or something like that and the sensor's not seeing it.

Yes, although it seems somewhat intermittent (I just ran down and checked it . . . benefit of bike commuting)

Noooo . . . have the whole rear end of the bike wired up; power/cadence sensor on the R chainstay and speed sensor on the L.
