Cadence meter -- need large digits

I'm looking for a cadence meter that reads cadence in the large digits where speed is usually displayed, instead of in smaller digits up or down in a corner or separate info bar. Ideally I'd like a...

Need a magnifier to read the Cateye

Getting older, need reading glasses, can't read the Cateye while I'm riding. Does anyone know of a "magnifier," for cycle computers, like a curved plastic lens that would fit over it to make the...

That's actually the highest I've ever been able to get my heart while cycling, maxing out on a steep hill. Sonograms have shown that my heart is rather large -- lots of years of martial arts...

This is the Ultegra 54/39 that came on the bike. I'm pretty sure it's a 6600 two piece.

changing crankset

I'm looking to change the standard crankset on my Trek 5200 to a compact R700. Do I need to swap out the BB when I do this?

Thanks.

heartrate

I was pretty jazzed after the long ride, but the interesting thing is that my heartrate goes up faster and comes down slower than it used to. I read somewhere that sitting up on the bike after a...

heartrate recovery

I have noticed a strange phenomenon recently -- my heart rate seems to take longer to go back down after max intensity, and it seems to run up to max more quickly. I am relatively new to cycling...

Sorry I don't have the weight for you -- but it is by far the best seat I've ridden, small "sweet spot" notwithstanding. No seat I've ridden has so effectively put my weight right on my bones and...

computer problems

I have a Specialized Elite Speedzone wireless, with cadence meter (wired). Lately it's started blanking out and restarting itself. Has anyone encountered this? Is it a known problem?

Thanks in...
