    Exclamation ADVICE bike computer (wireless)

    I can't ride my bike without my bike 'puta!!!

    Booohooo, my hand-me-down Sigma Sport RDS Wireless 'puta has finally given up the ghost, it was perfect for my needs.

    OK, I want simplicity:

    Current speed
    Maximum speed
    Odometer
    Trip distance
    Auto start/stop
    Clock

    AND ideally it must have large numbers!

    Relying on you guys as usual, any advice?

    Cheers.

    I have a Cateye Strada Wireless. The ultimate in simplicity. Big numbers, shows speed and time simultaneously. I can see it without my contacts in.

    +1 on the Cateye Strada Wireless. The speed read-out is quite large, and the smaller numbers (average, distance, etc.) are still a decent size. No buttons to fumble for either- just tap the lower part of the screen to change views, and the bracket pushes a little button from underneath.

    I'd buy one again.

    Many thanks for that, just the advice I was after.

    I was looking at the Cateye Vectra Wireless but it looks like the Strada has definitely got the edge on it, good reviews.

    I am upgrading from my cheap-o Bell to a Cayeye V3 as soon as it gets here

    I looked at others but I wanted nice BIG numbers on the display for everything it was going to show, and I also wanted a HRM.

    The Vectra is a little cheaper but doesn't have average speed, something that I can't live without.

    Based on my experience with my Garmin and knowing where you live, if I were getting a wireless computer I'd be darn sure the sending unit is waterproof. Garmin is good about replacing their cadence/wheel sensors under warranty whenever I get rained on unexpectedly (or forget to take it off before washing my bike), but it's a PITA and it really would be an unacceptable design flaw if there were any other computers that do what theirs do.
