Mavic Wintech HR Computer????
I've been looking at this computer on Nashbar for a little bit now. It's a pretty good deal at $100, but I know nothing about Mavic computers. I have a Cateye Cadence that works well, I just hate that it doesn't have multiple display lines. I'm also looking into getting a HR monitor though its not a mandatory thing to have. Just wondering what everyone thinks about the company's computers. Thanks for any help.
Here's a link to the computer: Mavic Wintech HR Computer

I have a similar model but with an altimeter. The altimeter is really lousy, but the other functions seem to work fine. Here's my review: Link
I really like the skewer sensor.

Discouraged by the Garmin reviews and not wanting to drop a whole lot of cash. I just bought one of those Wintech HR from Nashbar. Came close to a Garmin 500, 305 and a Sigma 1909. Gonna give this a try with the Smart Cadence ankle sensor. I really hope I don't regret it and wish I had gone the Sigma route. What swayed me was the bar mount (I run a 90mm), the skewer mount, the basic info displayed, and the ankle cadence strap I bought separately from Evans Cycles. I hear it's tricky to use and finding a replacement HR strap will be next to impossible I bet. The Garmin GPS would have been nice and I may go that route if this Mavic turns out to be a failure. I took the plunge anyways so wish me luck!
