New bike--Trek Madone 4.5 AND bike 'puter ?

[Catrin]

I have one of the Sigma computers with cadence, also have the Cateye Strada Cadence on one of my other bikes and they both are fine. I prefer the Sigma greatly, but there is nothing wrong with the Cateye and it is less expensive.

Cadence is very helpful, and I use it a lot. I am not fast nor am I focusing on speed. That will come in time, or not, that isn't my focus. It does help me in climbing and to check myself. I use it for intervals, and it certainly helps me to maintain a steady cadence which I like to do most of the time.

Thanks for all the food for thought. I think the shop I bought the bike from carries Sigma but at least I'll have some more intelligent questions to ask now.
