Oh had a fun one on Tuesdays ZRL, my team smashed it again (took our 3rd win in a row this round - riders in 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 7th), but check the finishing positions and time on riders in 3rd & 4th :D

Literally finished in the same millisecond, both 46 min 16.839s! Zwift putting us joint 3rd (but ZP & WTRL putting me 3rd and Fred 4th). He streamed it - check it out (also have a look how brutal ZRL racing can be if you want...):

Skip to 48 mins to see a guy attack before the underwater ramp, then Fred follows him attacking the ramp, I'm moving up too (ease to let him go). Gap seems to stay at 1s so I figure he'll be caught, using the slight drag before harbour so bridge up. Nobody else comes with me so figure I'll take Fred with me and we manage to stay away... Not very often that works! Especially in something like ZRL! ;)

Is your team mate a robot or something? After the attack up the ramp, he's doing 500 plus watts at 70odd RPM but still sub 140bpm HR. Impressive pedal mashing!
 
Anyone else have trouble with chest HRMs after a while. I had a Wahoo one after a couple of years stopped working, now a Coospo one stopped after 3 years. Not the strap bit either it's the whole connection side of things just either doesn't connect it keeps dropping out.
 
I probably didn't care for mine like I'm supposed to, so I find the connectors/poppers rust. Sometimes it's near impossible to remove the battery too, so now I just use my Whoop. From comparisons it seems accurate and I'm always wearing it, so one less thing to remember.

Optical just doesn't respond fast enough IMO useless for those 10-30 second intervals. Fine for steady stuff though.
I keep mine very clean, wipe them down don't sweat on them too much. It's like the transmitter dies.

If you email Wahoo, they sometimes offer a free replacement, as I think they are aware that their straps from a certain period were not very robust. They replaced mine after a year of use.

Wahoo went long ago. Current one is a Coospo. It's not the strap either like I said it's the transmitter.
 
I noticed my Magene one started giving some erratic readings but thinking it was just a loose strap as tightening it has helped.

I’ve taken to using my watch to broadcast though. It’s not ideal for intervals but I generally use power based intervals and so the HR lagging a bit isn’t too important for me.
 
Yup Wahoo replaced mine with no drama at all

I think of my overly sweaty body kills another one I may try the arm band one
