Stoker would like a better HRM. Or we could put the 800 w/o the package up front along with the Polar 725x and leave Stoker's setup the way it is.
Comments?
This is making me dizzy. The Edge 800 will pick up neither the Shimano Flight deck nor Cateye Astrale speed sensors. Garmin uses the ANT+ protocol, and essentially the only other ANT+ computer is the Bontrager Node. If you get an Edge 800, you'll need the Garmin Speed/cadence sensor. If you have that, the stoker's Cateye will not be able to pick it up, and you'll need retain its own speed sensor. She could use a
Bontrager Node, which has ANT+ HRM, grade %, cadence and will pick up the Garmin speed/cadence sensor.
