Planet Bike Protege 8.0. Does everything I currently need and has proven to be very durable. Somewhere done the line, I'll spring for a Garmin.

Why am I not surprised? ;-)

I'm using a Vetta V100A: time, speed, distance, cadence, altimeter. Works great, now that I've ditched the wireless s**t. Thinking very seriously about a high-end Garmin Edge (705 or 800) so I can have all that plus HR and power(eventually) in the same unit, and have the capability to up- and down-load routes. (The electronic cue-sheet thing'd be nice on brevets, etc)

Garmin Forerunner 305 + HRM. Don't really need cadence anymore (was using a Cateye Strada Wireless). I'll upgrade to a Edge 500 when/if I get a power meter?

Plus, the Forerunner can easily come along for my run.

Ehhhh, Cateye Velo 5 works fine, as long as I know Trip Distance, overall distance, and speed... Im good

HP pavilion G7. I like it pretty alright....



Garmin edge 500, just got it. Haven't been able to ride yet since having it ;.(
had a cateye wireless strada prior and really liked it. always dependable and did what I needed.

Garmin Edge 500, replaced my Shimano SC6501 bike computer that finally gave up the ghost after many years of faithful service. I absolutely love the Garmin (I also have the HR Monitor and Cadence/Speed sensor)

currently using a Knog Nerd 12. it's big and ugly, but it does everything i want, easy to set up and change, and it's big, so i can read the numbers easily. i like it.

Sigma 906
Basic features, cheap, good battery life. It's wired and reliable.

Got a CatEye Vectra, front and rear lights in a bundle today for $50. I realized I needed a rear light after a close call with a car yesterday, so I thought I'd just get the computer along with it

justin_jiang

I really want one of those old, super-precise Avocets:



But until I can find one I'm using this:



Cost me $29 and has speed and cadence!

Edge 500.

Cateye Strada wired. bought NIB off the 'bay for $16

Sigma BC 2209, triple wireless. No GPS. I have GPS data from my smartphone in my jersey pocket. That's the theory, at least... we will see in 2012 how this combo works out for me.

Pros & Cons:
+ cheaper than Garmin 500 (docking station + computer with HR strap, cadence & speed = $152 shipped)
+ computer smaller than Garmin 500
- no GPS for breadcrumbs
-- cannot customize screens
+ displays more than 3 items on screen, fairly legibly, in compact format
- HR can show max or average, not current
- not ANT+
+/- does have barometric altimeter
- exports only in .sgf (sigma proprietary) or .csv format
+ wireless speed and cadence have enough signal strength to work fine on my 61cm bike


Well, crap. Now that I wrote all that I feel like I should've just saved my $150 and put another $100 into it to get a Garmin 500 with the sensors.

The Enduro 8 is the same as my Mighty 8, except that the Enduro comes with thicker insulation on the wire. Completely adequate, but certainly not a high-tech toy. I have considered the Garmin that folks have mentioned but I seem to prefer to spend my money on wheelsets and consumables (cassettes, chains, tires, tubes, cables, bar tape, saddles, etc.). I guess I'll get the Garmin when I finally get the power meter.

Wireless and I got the cadence kit as well. I bought it on supersale from them. Paid $17.95 and then $8 for the cadence kit. Works great for me, but I wouldnt pay more than $30 for the set.

Garmin 500 with HR and Cadence used with my Power Tap SL+....... flawless and extremely user friendly. Had it now for almost 2 years and like it the best.
Agree with "after wheels, it is the best money spent".

g0tr00t

Bontrager Trip 4w just to keep track of speed/time and odometer.

Now with long trips, I use my phone app....but....being interested in the Garmin 500, are there any rumors to replacing this unit with a newer model?

AdelaaR

I just ordered my Edge 500 with HRM and cadence/speed pickup 5 minutes ago.
Yay!

ColinL

I don't see that happening. Garmin produced the 305 and 705 for a while after the 500 and 800 were introduced. The 305 and 705 finally went away 3-5 months ago, and nothing to replace the 500 and 800 has been talked about... other than inside of Garmin, I assume.
