I read some of the post on the Wahoo, but I'm in kind of a hurry and thought I would post the question here to get some input.
Thanks
I just read where some people were having a problem pairing it with the Garmin 1000.
You may be washing it too much, the instructions say to rinse it and to hand wash after 5 rides...never to put it in the washing machine or dryer.
To prolong the life of your heart rate monitor, rinse the strap after every use.
Hand wash the strap in cold water with a mild detergent after every five uses. Do not put the strap in a washing machine or a dryer.

My first strap lasted over two years before I had any issues with it.
