This unit did not work with my mountain bike because the speed sensor transmitter is so weak that it barely works on a bike with no front suspension. I mounted the sensor as high as I could but I could not get it to work consistently. I sent it to Polar hoping it was a defect and they stood behind it. They sent it back and assured me that it was working fine. I called Polar and they seemed unsurprised and unconcerned that it did not work on a mountain bike. I had to upgrade to the Polar CS600 which has much better communication between the speed sensor and computer. It transmits on a different frequency. I guess I was hooked on having everything in one unit. I had the separate HRM, computer, and altimeter, but it is so nice to have them consolidated into one that I paid 3X for the CS600. The WearLink strap for the CS600 (chest) transmitter only lasts one year. I replaced the second one just inside the two year warranty. Polar service is slow so I was ready the second time. I purchased a spare WearLink strap from Amazon, so I didn't mind waiting 3 weeks for Polar to replace the strap. I also sent only the strap the second time, rather than everything - as they requested.Get more detail about Polar CS100 Cycling Computer Heart Rate Monitor.
