Howdy:

After years of mountain biking, I have just crossed over to road biking and could use some education on cycle computers (I never bothered with such things on my mtn bike).

I have a 2011 Trek Madone 5.2 which is "Duotrap ready" - which appears to be Bontrager's way of saying that the bike transmits data via ANT+ (yes?)

So am I correct in thinking that my bike is compatible with ANY cycle computer that works with the ANT+ system? Bontrager have their own (Node 1, Node 2) but I guess it also works with Garmin and others?

Secondly, will my bike talk to iPhone Apps? Or does my iPhone 4 need an ANT+ receiver?

It looks like Wahoo makes an ANT+ receiver for the iPhone. Will this work with *any* iPhone app (if so, can someone recommend the best ones), or will it just work with the Wahoo app?

Please help - I am confused!!

Thanks!
SM

I am confused too, since I don't have any mobile phone, or GPS or any of that.

I have one computer on one bike, it's my Touring bike, I put it low on the Fork
off the handlebars to collect data and not play with all the time,
as All I really wanted was an odometer. it collected average speed too..

If you have topline Shimano or Campag brifters they have control buttons ,
for each companies own bike computer .
I have neither , my road stuff falls in C&V, now ,
though it was New when I got it.

may I recommend your Trek dealer, since they sold you the bike.
they want to make your riding experience the best.

Hi SM,
You need to get the Duotrap sensor to insert into the frame for the ANT + to work. When this is installed, any bike computer that works with ANT + system should be compatible.
