Im looking for a HRM and cadence compatible computer to go on my shiny new Giant TCR.

Have been looking at the Giant Neos Pro + (cant find any reviews) and the Garmin Edge 500 HRM. Is the Garmin really worth an extra £120 for GPS

Anyone had any experience of either of these units or can you recommend any other units I can have a look at.

Thanks

Mark

    Does it need to be GPS?

    There are another alternative brand called Bryton which I have seen other people use. If it is just HRM and Cadence then a standard computer could be bought for around £40 to do the job.

    The Bryton 20 (with HRM) looks good too, reasonable price with GPS (that works with Strava, etc.) and can be upgraded with a cadence sensor. All in about £150. Its on my list of things to treat myself to :)

    Cheers guys liking the look of the 35. That should save me £80 on the Garmin 500.
