I am looking to invest in a new system for my road bikes & need recommendations.

My criteria:

1. Wireless from rear wheel
2. Wireless Cadence
3. HRM
4. Downloadable to a Mac, but Windows is acceptable.

Thanks, -Barry

Well I currently have both wireless & wired. Both work off the rear wheel since i use a trainer most of the time. I have a Cateye double wireless. although I have not yet had any trouble with it Performace Bike did warn me that they have had returns because of malfuntions. I also have a Blackburn Delphi .2 which also reads off the rear wheel. My only complaint with it is the size of the Cadence numbers could be a bit bigger. My complaint with the Cateye is the 4 batteries only last about 6 months. When the Cateye gives up I'll stick with the wired versions. On mine I like to monitor Spd,Cad,dist. traveled, & Stop Watch all at the same time.

The one Im considering is the Polar CS200cad, it seems to fill all your requirements with the exception of the Mac. It would be great to hear from riders who already have this unit.

Stay away from the Polar. I have gone through three of them. They are poorly made and designed.
