Does The Heart Rate Transmitter Interfere With Disassembly?

I was thinking of buying the heart rate monitor receiver for my PM2, however, due to limited space I have to disassemble my rower after each use. Would the transmitter and the wiring make it a real chore to disassemble each time?

If you don't bother with the cable clips they provide and just let the cable hang loose under the seat rail, there's no problem with disassembly. I initially used the cable clips for a somewhat neater appearance, but my little kid promptly pulled them off. If you aren't using slides, you might even be able to just leave the receiver sitting on the floor.<br /><br />It's slightly more inconvenient than disassembling the rower without the HRM kit, but not much.<br /><br />Bill<br /><br />

The HRM interface is a small black box (about 2cm*2cm) with a stereo 3.5mm jack plug. <br /><br />It's wired to the PM2/PM3 with a headphone extension cable (stock standard stereo - I got a cable like that from Amazon).<br /><br />It takes less than a minute to plug it into the bottom of the PM3, down the monitor arm and along the bottom of the monrail.<br /><br />The little black box is normally velcro'd to the bottom of the monorail.
