Inside of Nike+ Fuelband

This 26 minutes video by mike shows us much more than Fuelband ice does! Watch mike teardown the Nike+ Fuelband piece by piece.

What we learn from this video:
- There are 2 Fuelband batteries
- Fuelband batteries are curved
- Fuelband battery are quite impossible to replaceable
- Fuelband can still run on only one battery
- THe silicon rubber is injection moulded so it will have to cut open to reach the components inside

Cycling With the Nike Fuelband

Q: I just bought my Nike fuelband but most of my workout is cycling. The problem is the fuelband only tracks my hand movement. How Do I Earn Fuel Points When Cycling?

A: Attach your fuelband to either your shoelace or shoe strap as shown in the pictures.

"I suspect this approach may over report cycling Fuel points and calories burned but it is more accurate than wearing the Nike Fuel on your wrist.

A couple people expressed concern about losing or damaging the Nike Fuel Band by wearing it on your shoe. I didn't worry much, I simply locked in onto one of the laces and double secured it by tying the lace over it as pictured below. It may look goofy but it is very secure and hasn't moved on the two rides used in this way" - Paul Speese

DIY Nike+ Sensor Pouch

Today I came across a video by "nikeplusrunners" who came up with an easy and free way to use the Nike+ sensor without using Nike shoes! I've tried running using this method and my Nike GPS sportwatch has no problem detecting it during my entire run.

Step 1: Place your Nike sensor into a platic bag or zipper bag

Step 2: Slot it all the way in between the tounge of your shoe and the shoe laces.

You won't even feel it during your run. It's that easy! And it's water resistant too! There's no need for any costly sensor pouches or drilling your shoes...
