Like many others, I find that my natural tendency is to pedal slower but in too high of a gear...so I really want to retrain myself. Any suggestions for a unit with cadence, speed, and heart rate?
If there's no good location to get the magnet & sensor closer together, you could glue a rare earth magnet to the crankarm. I got a stack of 'em at a hardware store. It's a lot stronger than the regular magnet that came with my Blackburn, and it stays in place better than the zip ties that the OEM magnet used; it won't get bumped by my foot.
