Just had a mate who got a Garmin 500 for xmas and I made a joke that he has a massive heart as his max heart rate spewed out to 240. I feel as though it is a common occurance with "most" models. I think I saw on one of your posts…"

The Manimal replied to Bruce W's discussion Speed Wobbles"a good tip if you do get speed wobbles is to grip the top bar of the frame with your legs/knees... someone told me this trick and a week later i got them descending the back of checkers at 75kmh-ish and thought it was about to be about to be all…"
