Not sure there's a generic thread for bike computers and head units so here it is until someone points out a merge candidate..

Buy a garmin.

I'd be tempted by a garmin 500 and use it on both bikes, they come with 2 mounts.

You'd need the cadence/speed sensor for use on a turbo...

The cadence/speed sensor lets the Garmin still work out speed/distance when there's no GPS (i.e. you're using a turbo indoors).

I much prefer keeping the phone for use as a phone and have a purpose-built GPS/computer on the bars/stem now. The phone is more expensive and no waterproof and if the battery runs out when you need it you'll be kicking yourself.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
