I have a Garmin Forerunner 301 (GPS and HRM). The
watch pins are constantly popping out. I usually leave the monitor
strapped to the sender and another strap I have across the front of my
saddle. Even when I’m longing a horse that decides to perform some
aerial antics, it just pops off. I ride in rough terrain when I can (very
few people will follow me and my husband when we go off trail!) and even I’ve
popped it off from a tree branch when I wear it on my wrist. I tried gluing
(shoe contact cement) and sewing a nylon strap that spans from one side of the band
to the other, so I’ve save myself from losing it when only one pin
pops. If I lost both, then I’d lose the whole unit.
So I am trying to find some kind of carrying case that I can
secure to my saddle or a strap on my saddle.
I was thinking there might be a cell phone case that might
work. Anyone know of one that would work with the 301? It would
have to have a clear window since I want to monitor the HR during the ride –
or maybe I could modify something that was close and cut a hole.
I did find a handlebar mount that might work although I
probably couldn’t set it up rigidly enough so it didn’t flop around
because of unbalanced weight.
Thanks,
