Cycle Computer ~£60

Armageus · 10 Mar 2016 at 16:01

Looking for a new Computer to replace my broken RSP EX1.0. Looking to spend around £60 and would ideally like to still have Cadence having got used to it with the RSP.

Looking at the Cateye Strada Digital (CC-RD410DW), unless anyone has any better options?

Not really fussed about GPS/Strava etc, as still use my Phone for GPS logging, but safely tucked in my pocket or bag.

I've used a Sigma BC16.12 STS/CAD, great if you just want easy to read speed and cadence. Otherwise you're probably looking at a used garmin or something. Maybe worth considering a cheap ANT+ computer like a Bontrager Node 1.1 and some ANT+ speed/cadence sensors if you think you are likely to upgrade to a garmin some day, just so you don't have to replace all your sensors then too.

Thanks for the reply - although I got the bike out last night (first time since last autumn) gave it a once over, and my RSP Computer seems to be working fine :confused:

Hopefully it will carry on working, and give me a chance to up my budget a bit more, and have an "upgrade" to and Ant+/Garmin setup.

Replaced the battery at all?

Replaced the battery in the computer (but not the sensor) end of last year when it was playing up (and was still playing up - screen displaying garbage and randomly going blank).

For the sake of a couple of quid though will replace both this weekend, if I can get a bit longer out of this one and then get something better next would be ideal, rather than spending £60 for essentially the same as I have.
