Like I told you, Powertap SL 2.4 wireless.

Best, probably SRM, with a nod to the PT wireless, and a glimmer of hope for the Quarq.

I was just giving him crap. He wants a regular CPU, not a PM.

Looks like it's either the Polar or the Cateye...

I'm leaning toward the Polar. Anyone know if the wireless will carry enough for a rear mount?

Sancocho, see if you can get something with a coded HR strap too. Weren't your and Emily's HRMs cross talking Thursday?

Yeah, I must have been. I think her display was flashing "noob alert!"

If that polar works as a rear-mount, I'm in. These things look too complex for cateye instructions

I think the polar gets speed off the front wheel and has another pickup for cad. Better check. I'm after the same set up as you are but with HR. Just haven't had time to search yet.

does the Garmin record speed off the wheel, too? or, is it purely from the GPS?
