wireless bike computer

hi

i want a sub £40 wireless bike computer to work out our distances that we cycle.

any recommendations? the cateye strada and blackburn atom sl 4 looks good.

I've got the cateye strada. It works very well. A bit picky about being aligned properly and needs good batteries to work properly. Had the odd occasion 5 miles into a ride to realise it wasn't getting a signal. I don't think it is reliable as a wired sensor but it was free to me and it takes two different wheel sizes which is great for when I run slicks. A bit fiddly to set up but most are. I prefer wired for reliability but wireless looks neater.

cheers. i thought that as my last wired were iffy! they were cheap.

i also run 29 inch wheels, will that be a problem

Works fine on my 29er too. You can set any wheel size you like manually hence me using it for knobblies and slicks.
I've got this one: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/cateye/strada-wireless-8-function-computer-ec008446

I had this wired one which is brilliant:

but gave it to my son when I got the above. Wife has it too. Much easier to use and more reliable than the wireless.
