Default cycling computer

Hi All,

I am looking for a cycling computer for a road bike. I do weekend
long distance A and B level riding. I would like to know what would be a
good computer to get price range $50 to $100. I also want it to be
wireless.

Thanks

Jim

You want us to do your research for you?

Go to www.nashbar.com or www.performancebike.com and look up
cyclocomputers. Sort by price. Pick one you like.

i used to have a CatEye Enduro but the bike got stolen. i was going to get
a CatEye Mity 8 (functionality at http://www.cateye.com) for the new bike
because i like have 2 trip odometers, but then i stumbled across the HRM
2000 at Supergo
(http://www.supergo.com/profile.cfm?l... st&referpage=).
it's a basic computer plus a heart rate monitor. i'm just learning about
HRMs so i thought i'd try this model because it's on sale now for $25 which
is practically throwaway. i haven't actually hooked it up yet, so maybe it
really is throwaway quality, but reviews i read were generally okay. it's
all wireless, both HRM transmitter and wheel transmitter.

Do a google groups search on "wireless computer" on this
newsgroup and you will get a variety of opinions and
recommendations.

Personally, reading some of those threads has kept me away
from wireless; there seem to be reliability complaints.
However, I've not read the threads carefully and claim no
expertise with wireless bike computers.

I've had good luck with Cateye Enduro, and have a Cateye
Astrale with cadence now. These have wires.
