Cycleops Fluid 2 Purchase

[melissam]

Hibiscus,

The Cat Eye Astrale 8 has a rear wheel sensor and is on sale at Performance for $34.99. It also does cadence, which could be handy for your sessions on the trainer.

I bought a cheapie wireless for $25 from Performance -- the db4lw. No cadence, but I wonder if it would work for your purposes. The computer has to be 60 cm from the sensor/transmitter. Not sure if that would work, or if it would be blocked while you're riding.

Hope your training is going well!

Thanks a lot, Melissa! I'll research both of those. I really appreciate the advice. I am trying to learn more about cycling and golf ( ). I've always been a weightlifting fanatic, so if any of you guys ever have any questions about bodybuilding or bodybuilding nutrition, I'll be glad to try to help.

I use a Wintech wireless from mavic. They make a separate attachment ($50 I think) for using it on a trainer.

Wintech is a little pricier but it has cadense and the other roadie stuff.

I also run a Polor wireless HRM while I'm riding.

Thanks, spazzdog! I do have the Polar heartrate monitor and I was thinking I should use it on the trainer, but the thought came to me about halfway through my first ride. Next time, I'll remember to put it on.

I'll check out the Wintech.
