I've had a look and there doesn't seem to be too much info about computers on here. I was looking to buy a cycle computer and I can't spend much money at all. What would people recommend? I had a cateye velo 5 for about a week before I pushed a button in too far and it never came back.... That seemed ok, and is less than a tenner. Any other ideas? (also, if my poor searching ability has led to me missing a similar thread could someone point me in the right direction)

C+ seem to like the the budget offerings from VDO. I have a bottom of the range wireless one lying in a draw somewhere. I hated it.

If I can find all the parts, I'll stick it in the post in you want it.

PM me.

For the sake of this thread. I and many others would recommend the Cateye Strada.

Agreed, i have recorded over 4000 miles on my strada (thats road racing and training etc. the ther side of cycling) and it works a dream. Defo the best out there, beats one around £50

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
