Ant+ compatible bike computer

bcroslin · #1 10-10-2013, 09:25 PM

I bought a new Giant TCR Advanced SL that has a cadence sensor built into the chain stay and it's looking like I'll need to replace my Cateye strada double wireless with an ANT compatible computer. Can anyone recommend a computer that is small like the Cateye? I'm not looking for a Garmin. I just need something that can give me speed, cadence, time and will work with the Ant compatible sensor in the bike.

Thanks,

Bob

Cateye Stealth?

I have a Stealth 50 and I like it, but it's much bigger than a Strada (which I also have)

Strada is around 30mm x 48mm (1 1/8" x 1 3/4" for the southern neighbours)

Stealth 50 is approx 46mm x 65mm (1 3/4" x 2 1/2")

I like the Stealth50 though.... its a good GPS product for the price.

Giant has Ant+ computers on their website.

I did a lot of digging last night and I'm thinking the stealth is probably the way to go. The giant branded computers look to be as big as the stealth and only cost a little less.

.......And the Stealth's mount is the same as the Strada's if you want to use it on more than one bike.

I picked one of the Giant computers because of the size. Stealth was too big. Now my issue is that the mount that came with the computer is a barfly style mount and my bars are the carbon flat-top bars. Sigh.

No love for the small Garmin Edge 500 eh? How about a Bontrager Node 1.1, which is Ant+ compatible?

I would take a look at our Joule GPS or 1.0 computers. Both are ANT+ and will do everything you need them to do. Plus, we have Barfly mounts as well (included with the Joule GPS). Check them out here:

That said, I also think the Garmin Edge 500 is a very nice computer as well. I own one and used it for a very long time. Didn't give me any trouble. Comes in a small, sleek package and it is very durable.
