Hi cherring,

Thanks for posting and welcome to miCoach!

I am not really sure what you mean about getting a new strap, specially since you are saying with you just got started. I would really appreciate if you can answer me some questions so I can have it clearer. Did the Heart Rate Monitor was included in any type of kit? for example, did you bought it with the Pacer or just as a separate item? Do you have any other miCoach device? Could you tell me please if what you have is only this part?

I would appreciate any further detail

Thanks in advance!

  I just bought the HRM came with a strap, it stretched really easily, and now doesn't update all that well, I would have thought it would have been more resilient or unhook rather just loosen and tighten. I also have a speed_cell, but that came with some boots I bought, so is not really that relevant.
  
  Thanks.

    Replacement straps are available on the adidas website (as I am in Canada, here is the Canadian link): http://www.shopadidas.ca/product/OP388/V00055/Sports/miCoach+Transmitter+Belt+%28Replacement%29/detail.jsf

    Also, it's strange that your does not hook/unhook.....I purchased one a couple of months ago and it has a hook that you use to put it on/take it off without having to re-adjust the size every time....

Hi guys!

@ekroll, thanks for covering this up and for providing the link

@cherring, as @ekroll says the fact that your HRM does not hook/unhook and it got all loose so suddenly is not normal. I want to share with you the following guide that shows better practices when using the HRM: http://bit.ly/GDsWBD

If after following all the steps in the guide you still have issues with the strap itself, please contact our Support Team (support@micoach.com). One of our agents will contact you soon.

Thanks!

  yes it does unhook, I feel a bit silly. It came hooked up and I thought that was just how they were until I saw another guy's polar one ... a few safety pins to stop the lengthening happening while I run and it seems to be better for now, I might need a new one in the future though. Thanks for the help everyone, I'll look more carefully next time, although packing them unhooked might save confusion? Anyway, live n learn.

  Hi mjdr,
  
  Thanks for the post.
  
  The miCoach textile strap comes currently in one size only, however it is adjustable.
  
  I understand that for some people it might not fit and I'll make sure that your request will be passed onto our responsible department.
  
  Cheers,

    I'm interested in buying a second HR monitor strap for my Adidas one too. My wife would like to use my HR monitor but doesn't like the idea of wearing my sweaty strap. I heard that the form factor of one (or some?) of the Garmin heart rate monitors is very similar to the Adidas one, and I found that Garmin does sell the strap separately here in the US, for example at this site: http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/garmin-softreplastrap.html. Does anyone know if this strap is compatible with the Adidas HR monitor? I guess the button clips just need to be spaced appropriately.
    
    Thanks.
