    cycle computer

    To disable ads, please log-in.

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

    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 ? ?

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

    thanks in advance !

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

    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!
    Keep calm and carry on...

    Vetta piece of junk

    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!
