Thats all I really need…no real bells and whisteles…just stem mount, wireless and then the usual basics (speed, avg., time). No HR or anything else needed…
Anybody have a good experience with something/
Thanks
Been using CatEye Micro Wireless and CatEye Strada Wireless – both very nice & meet your requirements. The Micro let me down on one occasion (loss of signal transmission during a TT), but it happened to almost everyone else in the field who was using a wireless computer of any make that day. It rained. No, wait: It rained so hard that it felt like TTing on the ocean floor.
+1 for Cateye Strada Wireless. Light, easy to mount and use. I’ve tried lots of other brands but have had no problems with any Cateye and have eventually given away all the others (Sigma, Vetta, ciclosport, Avocet).
+2 for the Cateye Strada wireless. I run this on my weight weenie build as well as my triathlon bikes. I do run the sensor behind the fork and not on front as suggested as I do feel it is a better aero position for the sensor but you do run the risk of the sensor coming loose and going into the spokes. With that said, I have run all my sensors on my cateye computers this way for over 14 years with no issues ever.
The double mounting option on the Strada is very nice and works very well. I love having it mounted to the stem and it is so small that it does not look that bad on there.
I am going to have to give my nod to the Mavic Wintech computer. I have been using mine for about 18 months. I am not sure if I am bike computer challenged or what, but I had serious issues with the cateye double wireless. I gave up and bought the Mavic Wintech. The thing is idiot proof to install and works great everytime. I love the fact that it keeps my fork clean by using the quick release on the front. I got a “home trainer kit” as well, so it will pick up the speed from the back wheel when it is on the trainer. The display does not respond to changes in speed/cadence as qucikly as some, but over the course of a HIM, that isn’t necessary.
Just a thought, but if you are going to use the bike on a trainer, you might want to consider one that allows for rear wheel pickup.
I have this one. It’s been working perfectly for three years and I just had to replace the battery last week. The unit was just over $20 at Performance:
