Any troubles with Vetta V100HR?
I use a Vetta V100HR and I have trouble with the HR read out. At the start of my ride it reads correctly but as I increase intensity and my HR goes up, the read out is consistently low. Usually about 30-40 BPM. I have changed the battery in the head unit and in the chest strap and cleaned the sensors on the strap. I have had the V100 for a year and this odd behavior only started about a month ago. Any ideas?
p.s. This is the second V100HR for me. The first was replaced under warranty when the HR and speed readouts went totally haywire.

Mine is normally correct, except for this weekend at a race it was reading 185+ when I was sitting at the start, then it went normal after 5-10 minutes of riding..

I have had mine do that too at times. But this weirder. On and hour long ride it will consistently be 30-40 bpm low. And only once in a while (and for only a few seconds) it will read correctly. Then back to the low HR readout.

None on the bike and I ride in a rural area, so probably nothing from extraneous sources. Plus I have been riding that same route for a long time and this problem just cropped up.
