Anyone know of a reliable cycling computer that has BOTH cadence and heart rate built in? Preferably wireless. Old computer has took on a bit too much water so need a replacement so may as well go the whole hog.

Cheers

    Garmin Edge 500 or 510 + http://www.decathlon.co.uk/heartwear-an ... 81212.html +

    If you really don't want to get the Garmin then this will do with above heart strap:

    Seriously though, get a Garmin Edge 500. Even if it seems expensive now, you will not regret it.

    There's the Raleigh EXP3.0 which does both and got a good right up by C+.
    The cateye V3, and the top end Sigma all great computers.
    but it probably won't be long til you want GPS too.
    There's warp speed - then there's Storck Speed

    An ANT+ compatible unit is worthwhile if there's a remote chance you might want to use TrainerRoad and a turbo.

    I couldn't recommend a garmin more. I got the 800 - felt a bit sick at the beginning due to the price, but it's so worth it. If you're riding in lots of different places then the map features on the 800/810 are really useful; if not then the 500/510 does everything else as has been said above.
