nothing to worry about, just make sure you tighten the bolts back up :)

Last night? You mean this morning.

The problem started last night. I got to watch both episodes of Law & Order.

Eh? You put your interests on hold to moderate this arse product? Surely you'd just do it when you're bored (like when you should be working ;) )?

No, late at night it's quiet, and I can actually navigate the forums, rather than moderate.

What offences have you given people a little "holiday" for recently, Repat??


:)

G'day lads. Been a longtime lurker but thought I might finally join up and make a contribution to the renowned and highly respected Think Tank that is the Aussie Thread.....

Climbo: Re Accommodation for the Cwth Games...Not sure what your budget is but there are a couple of hotels that sponsor Cyclesport Victoria. Maybe they would do a discount for a CA licence holder? details on CSV website. Quest Beaumont in Kew might be worth a look too - had to do some research on the matter for work when we had o/seas visitors & found it to be good location without huge price.

Guys,

In the market for a new bike computer (mine doesnt have cadence) just wondered what you guys were using and if you were buying a new one what would you buy?
Thanks

Russ

Hey Sacc, I found some Carlton Black (not easy to get) -- it ain't bad. You reckon it's a bit like Guiness?

will check it out, ta... and welcome.

But are you actively using them all? Because that's a no-no.

Didn't you have a skeleton avatar last week?

Anyway Russ, you could go all out and buy a Polar, Ciclosports, Garmin, or Timex cyclocomputer/HRM for megabucks ($300-800) and get features like HR, speed, cadence, altitude, temp, data downloads, etc

Or, you could save a few bucks and buy a cheaper HRM. Echowell make one with wireless cadence & wired speed ($160) and a cheaper one with wireless speed and no cadence.

Cheaper again you can get the HRM from Aldi which doesn't have cadence I dont think, but is a steal at $50.

From there you're into cyclocomputers that don't have HRM functionality. They range in price from $10 to $80 and all offer the same basic features: a clock, speed, return trip time, odo, distance, max speed, & avg speed. Only some models will have cadence, and the more expensive ones might offer wireless kits. But essentially they are all the same, and use the same technology that's been around for 20 years.

In the old days there were a few that had problems with water, but doesn't seem to be a problem these days.

good to see we're expanding

Jock, Thanks for the reply.. I think you might have me mixed up with another Russ on the forums..
I already have a seperate Polar HRMr so a combo would be good only one computer on the bike would be good. Ill go down to a LBS at lunch and check it out. was looking in the 100 - 200 range spend wise. so Ill see what I can pick up. My currrent cateye mitty is quite a few years old.... (just like me!) does me well though but time for an upgrade..

Good to see you're not scaring ppl off anymore :D


531Aussie " yeah, you say that now......"

Never did hear back from old Hambone. Or this guy, who obviously completed his mission in life and now has nothing left to do:


ChAnMaN "iv always wanted to post in the aussie thread"

I use a version of the Aldi one, but it's from Supergo, in the US. We have 3, and they all work well.

I still use a Cateye Tomo. The good thing is that the wiring kits are so cheap and available that I've now got about 10 kits, so I can switch the same "speedo"* from bike to bike.

by the way, I hope you all did the geeky thing like me and bought a new speedo battery and reset it on new year's eve :p



* I'm gunna start calling it a "speedo" and change the trend right here, right now, so, in 10 years time when everyone calls them a 'speedo', we'll know it started right HERE! :)

didn't you people watch The Young Ones?

I'm so alone :( :p

Yeah, was your identical twin brother Rusty2000 I was thinkin of.

In the words of Mick "I hate to be negative, but no."

Of course we watched the young ones, especially the university quiz episode. That tape's a bit worn out :D

Speaking of young ones, Hitchy didn't drop his now famous New Years greeting in this year! :( Remember last years:

contents of a 15 'C**k sucking cowboy' shooter thingies do not go well
with a slab of crownies & 1/2 bottle of Johnnie walker!...who
knew?....think I'll go back to bed!"

Pure GOLD :roflmao:

I loved that show.

"University Challenge". Episode is "Bambi".
Yeah, probably the best episode, and the first one I saw.

I mate brought over a tape of it from Britain in about late '84, before it was on telly here.
I thought it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen, and forced everyone I knew to watch that episode.:)

"Sick" (the episode where everyone has the plague) was bloody funny too

a great show, and yes, that episode sticks out as one of the best !

The Young Ones, very funny. they all seem to blur into one show now, the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse (sp?) skit seems to stand out for some reason.

"So death, whats new?"
