    Hi,

    Can anybody provide advice on a good computer that has cadence functionality?

    Wireless preferred.

    The only other feature i'm interested in is distance, which should not be difficult!

    All other features are a bonus.

    Cheers.

    Ouch, €240. Is there a half decent cheaper option?

    I'm using a Cateye Strada wired which was about €40. The wireless option would be a bit dearer. I wouldn't bother with the wireless version myself since you have two batteries to take care of and the possibility of interference.

    I use the same as cdaly and it's fine. Use Strava on my phone for other measurements. Paid €45 for mine. Cateye Strada Cadence

    I use the Cateye Digital Wireless (http://www.cateye.com/en/products/detail/CC-RD410DW/). Not worried about two batteries, never had interference problem. The older systems where you have to set the channel could give that problem but this automatically takes care of that now.

    In general, it works well though am disappointed that all these systems close off the bluetooth channel forcing you to buy their HRM - I have a couple of Polar HRM's that I could use if these were open.

    Hi,
    Just wondering what did you get for a finish? I'm in the same boat myself, and there are so many options it's just crazy.

    Thanks

    On a budget, the wired Cateye Strada Cadence €44
    Wireless is a bit more, €89 from Ribble but you might find it for less.
    Garmin Edge 500 is the next step up, you'd be paying more than €150 for it with cadence.

    I don't want to spend too much, possibly max €100. Those Garmins are some job but awful pricey.
    Will check out that one on ribble. Anyone had experience with other brands aside from cateye?

    I know they are pricy. I'm usually a guy who likes to find cheaper alternatives. Saving for a while and getting garmin was one of the best addition to the bike.
