cycle computer

I should probably put this in Gear section, but hoping to catch more people here :D

i'm looking for a new cycle computer/heart rate monitor.......... wireless & records cadence.............. only a much as I search I can't find one that does all of the above....

In hope that i don't have to spend hours and hours searching for one, does anyone have any recommendations for a cycle & heart rate monitor, that is wireless and does cadence ? ? :D

Happy to buy on-line, particuarly as the NZ/US $$ is still strong !

thanks in advance !

Mavic has one...

I'm a huge fan of my Garmin Edge 305! Absolutely love it!

My polar CS200 does all of the above functions!

ditto cc's polar cs200cad - wireless, cadence, HRM, downloads everything into polar's website. then it's easily entered into BJ.

I think Vetta also makes one.

Another Polar CS200 user here.

Sigma does a couple of computers with HR too: this one and this one, which does altitude and temperature as well.

:)

I considered CS200. However, i eventually decided to go for a cateye wireless (distance, speed, ave speed, max speed, but no cadence) and a Polar RS200 for heart rate monitor. I figured it wld be easier as a hrm wrist watch would allow me to monitor my hr when i wake up in the morning to track my fitness trend. Then again, i wished the cateye wireless came with cadence.

+1 for Polar CS200cad. Took a little time to set up, but once that's done it's easy to use. And the transmitter has a user-replaceable battery, which is not true for all such units.

I have a Polar S725 that does HRM, wireless cadence, wireless speed, altitude, etc. And it has a nifty upload feature to a PC-based program with graphs, charts and data galore. Very nerdy, very fun!

I have the Vetta 110HR and it is horrible...it has cadence and HR.
I had it stop working/reset on me twice now and I am just not pleased. All the functions are cool but for what you pay for it there are better ones on the market.


I had the headset replaced once and it worked for about a month and then the second headset is having problems so I am sending it back for a refund. I will be keeping an eye on this thread but I think I am replacing it with the Polar.

I ended up buying a polar cs200cad ........ so far so good;)

Haven't worked out how to down load into yet, but when I have time at the weekend, I'll have a go.............

had I had the money I would have brought the Polar computer that also can be used to running as welll................

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Polar CS400! I had received the 200 for Christmas, but because I don't have internet at home, that wouldn't have worked for me as there's no other way to get the data off. I also wanted my heart rate measured in intervals, which the 200 didn't do (as far as I read). The 400 comes with the software, measures in intervals, and has an altimeter so I can see the hills, too. I wanna play with it!

I just want to ride my bike, feel the sun, and smell the honeysuckle and manure.

I've been off the boards a while, so maybe you've already found what you want, but my Blackburn has all of that

You have to get a 5.0 or 6.0 for the heartrate functions.

I adore my wireless PowerTap. Getting your watts for even better workout tailoring is awfully nice, even if you don't think you need it or want it. (I didn't, then got this as a handmedown, and now can't think of training without it.)
