Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Very nice looking, I am sure it will go well with the newly upgraded Litespeed.

But . . . will it do this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Op3OPItH0

Neat, it has conductive nodes instead of buttons. Would suck for full-fingered glove winter riding though.

Last I had heard (more than 1 year ago), Cateye was releasing a model named tr-100 that was very similar to this computer. It's good to see that a new all in one computer is finally coming out except I already have a Garmin 305. If they would have released it earlier, it would have been a tougher decision.

At $180 and due out in April, it looks like a good option. Does anyone know what it will do?

No power meter. No GPS. No altimeter. That thing was probably designed in the last century.

As far as I know, combine their two dual computers and offer cadence, speed, and HRM all wireless.

Is that ment for just their trainers like the kenetics computer or real world riding? The watt meter is what is confusing me.

i emailed them for more info and this was the response:

FLEX will work with our trainer and also on the road. The power output formula is proprietary and we can't give much detail, but it is accurate!
