Best & Cheap Wireless Computer with Cadence

[1happygirl]

Haven't steered me wrong yet, so if you don't mind what is a reasonable, wireless, reliable computer with Cadence? (until I jump into GPS)

Thanks guys (and gals in advance)

Cateye does it well and I have used them prior to doing the whole Garmin escalation. For me the GPS functions are not all that useful as most of my routes are well trodden.

Cadence is very useful in training. A power meter is indeed a luxury, but knowing how to use cadence-based work in riding will get any serious rider most of the way there. IMO.

sweet. thank you.
re Garmin. the 800 has been out for some time now and I think it will be upgraded before I have a chance to get it so I can save the money now.
It would be nice to have the heart rate/gps/calories but I can do that manually for now.
Thanks again for the replies.

I've got a cateye wireless strada II. It's not bad; dunno if it's on the inexpensive side of these things. I think I signed up for an Amazon CC and got a one-time 30 dollar discount. They're on ebay, too, obviously.

I too have a Sigma 1609 wired I am very happy with. They make the same thing in wireless. $63 or so at Amazon. I have used a wireless Cateye which I liked. The Sigma I liked better because the control functions seem much more sensibly and simply arranged than the Cateye.
