Hey,

I live in Canada and I'm looking for speed, cadence and heart rate sensors along (possibly) with a bike computer for my road bike.

Initially to be used with my PC and an app for winter training on my trainer, but then either bike computer or Android phone for outdoor rides next summer, so sensors will need to be Bluetooth and ANT+.

Are all sensors created equally? Which sensors/computer do you have? Which would you recommend? I'm hoping to spend as little as possible, but still want something accurate and reliable.

I'm also interested in a watch that would pair with the same heart rate monitor and give me continuous heart rate readings for other training sessions (currently trying to identify what causes me to black out whilst exercising, so want to closely monitor heart rate).

I did a search on Amazon.ca. The Wahoo RPM Speed and Cadence Sensors get good reviews. But the Magene sensors, for example, are much cheaper.

I don't know which heart rate sensors will pair with which watches though. I get the impression that Polar heart rate sensors have been coded to particular watches and can't be read by other devices. Is this right?

I'm confused. Please help shed some light

Thanks
