I have a £40 budget, and wondered if anyone had any suggestions on good speedometers. Preferably Wireless.

Thanks!

    Actually that's the Strada Cadence, but Google's suggesting the non-cadence model is £5 more at most shops. Go figure :P

    The cadance version is wired. the one that is £5 more is likely to be the wireless version but this does not have cadance. very good computer though, i have two of the wireless ones.

    You might be able get a Cateye Micro Wireless for around 40 quid if you shop around. I have had mine for three years and no problems whatsoever. There isn't one feature/reading on it that I don't find useful. Just remember to scribble down the odometer reading before you change the batteries because it's also the master reset.

    I plan to get one for my MTB as well if I find a good deal. Though I have heard great things about Sigma Computers too.
  • +1 for the wireless strada. great little computer and i never suffered any interference (with the wireless signal :wink: )

    Can I ask re the Cateye Strada Wireless - does it have the option to show the actual time when running?

    The reason I ask is that I have a Cateye wired, which shows the actual time when in 'standby', but as soon as you are using it the options are only elapsed time (from setting off). I'd like to be able to see the actual time of day while riding.

    my wired Strada tells the time when I'm riding.
