Recommend a Cycle Computer

herb71

I am looking for a cycle computer, with basic functions, speed, average, distance etc, but really want cadence as well.

I don't need GPS, heart rate, or live tracking / strava etc. I can analyse that data post ride from either phone or watch.

The problem I have is finding a relatively basic computer with a decent size screen? Seems to get a good size screen I am going to have to pay for functions I really don't need.

Budget, say £100 ish. Any ideas?

I have that one on my winter bike and it's ok, but now I am getting old, would prefer a bigger screen. Its a bit crowded and my old eyes find the smaller figures hard to read.

I use a Lezyne Super GPS, decent size screen, nice clear writing. Can be had for £110. I've done quite a few rides now and not had one issue, unlike my two previous Garmin's which were a real pain in the backside.

Lezyne also do cheaper options as well that may be worth a look. The Macro may be suitable, this is £85. I would have got this model if I didn't want the ANT+ feature.

So, presumably, if you're using your phone and don't want the additional stuff that a decent computer can do, why are you bothering? But, for a decent size screen device, you're likely to be getting some of those features you don't want, but hey, don't use them. Look at Lezyne, Cateye, Bryton, Mio. Anything from Garmin or Wahoo is likely to be more than you want to pay.

The Lezyne looks like it should meet my needs when coupled with a cadence sensor. Decent screen size. Will probably go for the Macro. Cheers.

Happens like that sometimes. I didn't see your post, or I wouldn't have posted mine. Sometimes when the site is busy posts quickly drop down to page 2 or 3 on the 'new posts' section and don't get seen.
