Afternoon all

I am looking for a Wireless Computer that also offers cadence measurement. Have just picked up my bike from a Service at the LBS and asked them...they had a Sigma one they could get but it was £60!!

Is £60 expensive for a Wireless Computer with Cadence facility? Are Sigma good/bad/indifferent!?

Thanks in Advance

    Sigma are a good choice for cycle computers, but I can only speak from experience of the cheapo wired models (sub-20 quid).

    I got a VDO C4-DS from Wiggle (£30) plus the cadence kit for another £18. You can fit the kit to the VDO computers which are cheaper and have less functions. Chain Reaction seemed to stock different models so worth a look there.

    Very pleased with it. It's easy to use (up, menu and cancel like a mobile phone), loads of spare zip ties in the pack and the spoke magnet fits really well on my flat blade spokes.

    I looked at many different makes but this seemed to be the best for the price and all the VDO models had good reviews.
