okp greg Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hey everyone, I've been biking too & from work the last month or so and was looking for a cycling computer. I grabbed one from walmart but it was crap, the wireless signal wouldn't even reach the ~2 feet it had to travel. Does anyone know a good brand to look for or a good place to check out online for one? It'd feel pretty good to watch the odometer on it go up and up through the year.

fatheadfred Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 several: bike nashbar, price point, cambria, performance My experience w/ performance is poo. Price point and cambria have been good. All these companies can rip you off on some stuff, just think about whether you can install whatever you buy before you buy it. Bike shops despise the "I bought this online and can't figure out how to put it on." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Chain Love is a daily deal site for bike gear. Good stuff nice and cheap. I have seen bike computers on there all the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okp greg Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks guys. I learned about chainlove during the last woot-off, but it's been nothing but bike jerseys so far :-/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

borracho Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 i've used Trek and Cateye cycling wireless computers and the Trek crapped out on me after a year, and i've only had the Cateye for a month, but really like it... i got the Strada. it's got an easy one-button touch to it... i paid $60 from my local store. very easy to install.

Yeah having one crap out would suck. The strada's looking pretty nice. I may have to get that one too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
