Thanks Jack, good information.  I don’t see myself using GPS or my phone on
the bike.

[RBW] Re: Speedometer, wired or wireless recommendations.

2020-08-08 Thread Jack K 
Although many folks are now using GPS based units or smart phone apps, 
there are still nice olde tyme wheel-magnet-counting cycling computers 
available -- to my eye anyway. My most recent cyclocomputer purchase was a 
Cateye Strada Slim which I like better than any other traditional cycling 
computer I've owned over the years. Very small unit with big display, 
lightweight (if that matters), wireless, batteries last multiple seasons. 

I also have Garmin Touring GPS based unit, which I like, but that's really 
a very different animal. If I need/want turn-by-turn routing, which I often 
do, then I'm grateful to have the GPS option. But if navigation or 
performance data for post-ride analysis isn't needed then the Cateye is way 
more convenient, smaller, lighter, doesn't need to be charged prior to each 
use and, well, just feels like enough computer tech on my bars for JRA.

There are plenty of other options for a traditional cyclocomputer, but if 
you haven't seen the Cateye Strada Slim you may want to have a look at it
