Computer: Cateye enduro 8 or micro wireless?

How reliable is the Cateye micro wireless computer compared to the heavy duty wired Enduro 8. Will they both interfere with my HRM?

no it will not . it is a digital signal. Ive taken my wireless seven to hades and back and it has done fine. I am using a Sigma RDS1600 now because I got tired of the zip ties always coming loose on the fork and messing up the readout from false information. if you dont jump, let it rain heavily on your bike for long periods of time, or run into trees frequently you should be fine with it. I hate wires because they always snag stuff thats not even on the trail, much less in my path

Those wireless things WILL interfere with alot of crap in the city (i dont know about HRM's)
I have been using a Enduro8 for a couple of years & had no probs at all including many wrecks .

+1 for the Enduro. I did have a cable get torn though in a 'detour' through some brush/trees (trail turned, I didn't), but not other problems in the 2+ seasons.

I have used the cateye micro wireless with sigma sport heart rate monitors, phase heart rate monitors, and with polar heart monitors and never had a problem with interference.
