Basic wireless computer
 

I commute. Help me pick a computer.

I want a wireless computer that won't receive interference from an LED light (if that really even happens)

I want to track;

Trip mileage
Total mileage
Trip Time
Speed
(possibly) Temperature

less than $50
easy to read

That's about it. It needs to be affordable, and i don't really care about cadence or calories, so help me find something fitting for my needs. Thanks!

I don't know about the interference thing, but I have a Cateye Strada wireless and have never had any issues of that sort. I have a small LED blinky light, though not one of the big powerful ones. Usually costs a tad over your limit, but I found mine on sale for $42. Only real complaint I have it that it is too easy to accidentally reset your trip counters by leaning on it, since the entire body of the computer is the button. But it has a distance 2 that acts as a backup for trip distance. It does not have a temperature function, though.

On my mountain bike I have an Ascent IO, which is presently on sale at Performance for $29.99. http://www.performancebike.com/bikes...8_20000_400127

A lot of bang for the buck on the Ascent, and it does show temperature, so I'd strongly recommend it for your described specs.

+1 on the Cateye Strada wireless. I have a flashlight mounted to the bar next to the computer and I've never had problems. There's one spot in my commute to work where the mph drops to 3 for a couple of seconds. It's not near power lines so I have no idea what the source of the interference. After 3k miles, the battery in the display needed changing.

I don't know about interferance but the Bell 15 Function Wireless Cyclocomputer sells for about $20 at the big box stores. (I wouldn't compare it to the Strada but it's half the price and your needs aren't that complex.)

Most wireless are effected by automatic doors. My Wally, Bell 15 function is fine. In fact I have
three and they are all fine.

+1 on the Performance Ascent IO. I have had no problems with it working on my big bikes with a long distance between sensors. I got mine on a Mega Sale for $25.

Any recommendations for one with a cadence sensor?

I just happened across this listing on Pricepoint.com. It appears to be the same computer as the Ascent I/O mentioned earlier, and it is on sale for $22:

I have the planet bike Protege 9 wireless on two of my bikes. Its list price is $59, it is easy to read, offers all you ask for (and more).

Old thread I know, but the computer Yo Spiff and I like,Ascent I/O, is on sale at Performance for $24!! if someone is still looking.

This one has a very strong sensor so you can use it with the rear wheel. Very handy when you use your bike in the trainer. Also, two lights that I use are not able to cause any interference.

I have the Cateye Strada and Vectra..The Strada can be picked up off Ebay new with free shipping for $37 to $39. I always have to look at SHIPPING to gauge the final cost. I like the Planet Bike, but the Strada and Vectra have been trouble free. Might get a Planet Bike one for my next bike for a tryout.

Nice price. I might snag another one for my spare road bike. Thanks.

On the Planet Bike Protege 9, does that have attachments where it can be mounted on the stem? I see this computer on Ebay going for $35.55 with free shipping. Lately I have been mounting my computers on the stem, leaves room on the bars for more lights. The Cateyes have the mounts to go on the stem and bars..
