ADVICE bike computer (wireless)

[ClockworkOrange]

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.

Oh that is so kind of you but I would pay the p&p, as that would perhaps be quite a lot.

I will PM you shortly.

Now where else could I go on the internet and have somebody be so kind and thoughtful?

Clock................ticking very fast!

Hi crazycanuck

After much thought, I was working out what the postage would possibly be and all the trouble for you to send it over to the UK.

I had been watching 4 x Cateye Strada Wireless Computers on eBay and they all went for silly money, averaging over £30. Initially the cheapest I could find brand new was £35.99.

So, I started searching the internet and I came across an extremely good site, no postage plus a discount of 10%, which brought the item down to £24.29!!!

Now the company www.probikekit.com appear to have very good reviews, although based in the UK, they send to the US etc and very quickly too.

Again, thank you so much for offering to help me out, it was such a nice gesture.

Have just contacted them regarding returning the item, wow, what an excellent company to do business with. You go online to get a returns label etc. post it off and within two days I had the money back in my bank account!

Now that is what I call impressive and I believe it works the same for overseas customers.

Well done Probike Kit.
