Hi Guys

Thinking about getting a cycle computer - wireless - just to maybe add a bit of interest to training - see how fast i am going would be nice etc.

Many people use them? Any benefits or are they a bit geeky? and a waste of time?

I use my heart rate monitor at the moment.



Cheers

Ian

    make sure you get a computer with cadence capability as keeping an optimum cadence in conjunction with your heart monitor will do you nothing but good.

    yup in agreement with chase here....cadence is probably more important than actual speed...

    I was thinking about getting the Cateye Astrale 8 which is wired, not wireless, but runs from the rear wheel, so you could use it with a turbo (if you don't go out when it's dark/wet/windy/cricket on tv/...) and it has a cadence function. Seems to be quite a popular setup and should cost about £30...



    No personal experience of it though.

    I've got 2 cateye astrale 8s and they are brilliant and cheap.

    I understand people wanting wireless but they are about 3 to 4 times more expensive, and for what?

    I only ever have the cadence and time showing, never speed.
