I'm after a decent computer with hr and cadence preferably wireless and have seen a few different options but seem to get some conflicting reviews...

so has anyone had any experience with either:
blackburn delphi 5.0
velomanm 20 function with HR

I'm open to other suggestions but i don't really have the budget for the garmin 500 (which I would much prefer)[/list]

    Have a look at the Cateye V3 then, that has all of the functions you want and comes with a heart rate strap and cadence/speed sensor. I think it's around £80.

    The only thing that puts me off it is that there's no downloadable route data after a ride.
  • i jus tried the boardman but it had to go back, could'nt pick up a signal on my 60cm frame!.
    if you have a large frame check that the reciver for the cadence can reach down to your chainstay properly. :cry:

    +1 on V3

    i have been researching and V3 comes on top in this range along with Polar CS200Cad. Looking at V3 as i havent read anything negative but did see user reviews saying their Polar CS200cad sensors were whacky and needed a bit of luck some times.

    I have the Blackburn4.0 wireless, stopped picking signals after 1-2 months of use. So i am rather unhappy with BB.
