What I have:
What I plan to purchase:
I can still use the iPhone as the cycle computer and the cadence sensor and HR strap from the 305 in trainerroad, right? Maybe upgrade those farther down the line to the latest wahoo items? The above purchases are about in the price range I prefer to spend but I have some flexibility. For a variety of reasons, my outdoor riding will be limited until next summer, hence the emphasis on the trainer rather than something like a power meter.
Thoughts and advice appreciated.
