i'm far from the expert, but i think cadence is important, although i know some people with cyclecomputers that used the cadence feature once, and never thought about it again. so i guess it really depends on the person. i guess i am more of a fan of staying in comfort zones, and see how being in each training zone feels like. I mtb and because i have been using my heart rate monitor, i can tell almost immediately where my heart rate is at based on how i am feeling during the ride. anyway, again just babbling thoughts....

i liked having the heart rate monitor, and the basic feature of the cyclecomputer. but every persons training is different.
