Hi I need to buy a new computer for my bike what kind would any of you suggest. Do you really need cadence? looking at cat eye astrale shimano flight deck vetta 100 or one you could think of. Thanks Mike

I like the Planet Bike Protoge 8.0 The 5.0 is fine if you want one cheaper. Turns itself on. Has all the info right on the screen.

although this doesn't have cadence - i got the cat eye enduro 8. only $29, and has all basic features. i fully expected to pay a lot more for a computer and was surprised this was less than 30. so far so good, no problems with it.

If the computer has a stopwatch you can just count your cadence and save yourself installing another piece of hardware on your bike. Unless you are really trying to focus on your cadence I see no real reason for it.

i have the cateye astrale 8 which has cadence. I personally like having cadence on my road bike but on my mountain i just have a cheapo computer that works. buy the best computer you can afford...dont buy something thats out of your budget otherwise you'll swear yourself later.
