Computer with ODO, MPH and Cadence
 
I don't need GPS, as my phone already does that. I have a Polar HR monitor, so I don't need that either. I don't care about wire/wireless, but am on a budget. There are so many choices, and everything seems focused on GPS and HR, so I can't figure out a computer that would do what I am looking for.

Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Have you tried Performance bike shop? They have a budget friendly selection.

I like the SIGMA1606L. It's wired and has cadence. It's also easy on the budget.

Well, without cadence -- http://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-SW654-.../dp/B000DZD3FQ
... works pretty good.

With cadence -- http://www.amazon.com/E3-F11C-Cadenc.../dp/B0018A8BUW
... never used that one, but it's certainly inexpensive.

Cateye Strada Cadence.

Cateye or Sigma.

Just keep in mind that if you get a wireless bike computer, it may or may not get along with your HRM. But if you're on a budget, you're probably better off with a wired.

Sigma BC1606L. Wired, cheap, easy to install (but a little futzy to set up). $29 at LL Bean or $40 at REI. Spare harnesses are only $8 and make changing between bikes a breeze.

Sigma rox 8 verus cateye V2c
 
Does anyone have 1rst hand experience?

I like cateye's fastening of the computer, I feel the the sigma could fall off the bike if I were to fall or have an accident?

I do however like the fetures of the Rox8. So can someonoe please point out something that i need to know that are not on the manufacturers site?

Does anyone have pictures of the sensors installed?

I have this but the only things I have issues with is the installation being very, very messy. The wires are all over the place. And I think having a backlit LCD would be awesome as well.

I have had no problems with Sigmas and I have a wired one on my mtb that I use off-road.

Profoxcg 07-23-09 10:14 PM

thank you guys, Im going to buy a Rox9...

bikegeek57 07-26-09 01:50 PM

P4D 08-11-09 06:20 PM

I have a Windows Mobile phone, an AT&T Tilt. Thanks for all the advice. I lost track of this thread and had to search for it....

I love my Rox 9.0

Nick12481632 08-21-09 07:47 PM

if all ur looking for is speed gauge and time, and other little gadgets, just go to wal-mart/target.

green814 08-22-09 06:04 PM

I have 2 of the Specialized Speedzone Elite cyclometers and have been very happy with them.
