Looking for a basic computer, either wired or wireless
just want something that gives you the time,speed,distance and total distance anything else is a bonus
Don't want to spend silly money on one

    I use a Trek 11i - seems to have most functions except HR. Even has a temperature gauge! - not badly priced at less than £25 and it does the job for me, the cadence facility was a bit of an eye opener and has definately made riding easier now I know how fast I'm peddling

    I used to have a Cateye Strada wireless before I went all hi-tech.

    Great bit of kit!

    If your bike has Shimano Flightdeck compatible gear levers (most Shimano road bike levers are) I'd strongly recommend a Shimano Flightdeck.

    In addition to the normal stuff it'll show you which gears you've selected front and back and give your pedaling cadence. Knowing and working on your cadence is the best way to becoming a better, more efficient road cyclist.

    The design may be a bit dated and the buttons aren't the best designed in the world but I'd be lost without mine.
