Which Cyclocomputer do you have?
 

Currently in the market.. looking to replace an older Cat Eye and would like to know some experiences and what Cyclocomputer is the best bang for the buck…

Cateye Astrale 8
Most bang for the buck.
It has Cadence
Odometer
Avg speed
Vmax
Distance
Time

Sigma BC1106.

Well, you can get those flimsy-looking Sigma computers, I think you can pick one up for like $20 or something. Never had one but they looked pretty good deals or whatnot.

I'd stick with Cateye, though. You can get an Astrale with cadence for $35 easily and those things will last forever. Can't beat em.

edit: wow. posted at the same time as the other two guys and mentioned the same exact computers. freaky.

Flightdeck and Garmin Edge 305

Cateye Astrale 8 works great!

Mavic and Flightdeck sucked.

Your results may vary.

I just replaced my Cateye Velo 5 with a Micro Wireless. I was a little leery of wireless but it's worked fine for the fist 300 miles.

I've had an Astrale for a while, earlier model than the present. No problems to report... just occasionally moving the cadence sensor over if it gets knocked around.

Also like the fact that I can use it with a trainer this wintertime... speed sensor is on the back wheel.

Topeak Panoram V12 Wireless. Love it!

garmin edge 305 (that replaced a polar s720i)

I've had many problems with wireless systems and that is why I went back to wired system. I wanted cadence so having 2 wires all over the place really sucked. A couple of month ago, Viper recommended Cateye cc-cd300dw double wireless computer so I bought one. Now, I'm really happy with it.

+1. Love it.

They also have a wireless one out now, does wireless cadence too.

Kudos to Cateye Astrale 8 for most bang for the buck as well as great reliability!

However, if you like HR included, I have had 100% success with the Polar CS200.

I have a powertap sl. I'm pretty happy with it. I also have a Polar S725 as a back up and two CatEye micro wireless computers on my mountain bikes. Oh, I also have a Specialized pro something or other that does cadence, grade, feet climbed and all that good stuff put up somewhere. That is a pretty nice computer.

I, too, have the Cateye CD300W (?) double wireless with cadence on two bikes. Love it.

Polar CS200cad. Full on cyclocomputer with HR and Cadence. Had it for 1700 plus miles and never had a problem. It provides me more then enough data to over analyze my rides. Later.

IME, Polar cs200 was a garbage if you live in the city.

I recently picked-up the new, just-released Sigma digital double-wireless 1606-something or other (IIRC). Sweet piece of hardware, what can I say? It's on my folder awaiting a second mounting unit for the road bike to replace the older Sigma 1600 (wired on the road bike, though had been wireless when switched to the folder).

+1 Polar CS200cad, 1250+ miles, no problems except I replaced battery once.

I have a Cateye Mity 8 and a Cateye wireless. The Mity 8 is basic; speed, avg speed, max speed, distance, odometer, time riding, and time. The wireless is basically the same but has a backlight (for all that night riding :rolleyes:) and two sets of distance, avg speed and something else. I never use the second set so I really don't know. The best bang for my buck was the Mity 8 though.

SRM pro and Dura Ace SRM

Ciclosport. Very small, wired with cadence, <$30.

I'll second that

Nashbar dual computer... cheap. Seems ok. First one I had had a defect, but at least it comes with a whole bunch of spare parts in the same box :)

Polar S725X. Recently upgraded from the cs200cad which served me well but didn't have some of the fancy-schmancy features I was looking for.

Bang for the buck winner is definitely the Astrale 8.
