Is this normal HRM behavior?
My HRM gives the same exact value for long stretches, has some rapid changing, and holds a fixed number again for a while. This does not seem to correspond to hills, sprints, etc


eg todays 20 mile ride

and a 56 miles ride

Anyone else get HRM readings like that? I don't mean the actual numbers (I know I run fast), but the shape

Looks like the sensor is disconnected most of the ride. Do you watch the read-out while you're riding, and does it look normal or do you notice any connection drops.
