I purchased a Nike+ Sportband a few weeks ago and used the gadget Not on a Nike+ ready jogging shoes. I used the Nike+ Sportband system with my old Power brand jogging shoes. Initially, I placed the sensor on top of the shoes where the shoelaces is, wrapped in a small plastic bag, just like this guy here.
The hack worked fine. But, one day I found an old unused belt clip casing for my old PDA and thought of “re-purposing” the clip. and the end result is this:
I started off with the same technique of wrapping the sensor in a small plastic bag. Then, I used a soldering iron to make to holes as in the photo below.
The two holes are for fixing the “circular hooks” that attached to the belt clip. I think pictures will make the explanation clearer.
The sensor will be wrapped and fastened to the “disc hook” like the following;
The larger belt clip is fastened to the shoelaces as so;
And, finally … clip on the sensor to the main belt clip and you are ready to run.
I’ve been using this D.I.Y. contraption for a week now, and confident that the sensor will not “fly” off the shoe.
