I was shocked to hear the cheers in the tent, I was so looking forward to riding in the rain, it would have been an adventure. In my opinion W2W has allot to make up for, I don't feel like i have done the w2w this year and i still have some lunches and a breakfast that they owe me. The problem is that non MTB personal made the decision to cancel, these are people that did not want to get wet. I have ridden in mountain where rivers have burst there banks etc. We were doing the race and so 90% of the riders were experienced. W2W seams far to nonchalant about this whole thing, I was and am deeply disappointed.

It is definably the polo 500. If you go to their web site it is displayed on their front page near the bottom. Interesting that they may be a garmin 500 coming out soon. I will check that out as well

I looked at that one as well but the screen is a little small compared to the garmin. I also don't care too much about plotting routes, (if I get lost then I know I had a good ride) However the screen and technology seem better in the garmin. I am organizing to check out the polo cs 600x. Which is there top of the range unit at present. In mid 2010 polo is coming out with a 500 which in my opinion will knock all the competition out of the water. Unfortunately I can not wait that long.

Thanks for your input. I have heard that under trees or in cloudy conditions it losses signal. Further I would like to ask you how the clasp is to connect the unit to the bike. I ride road as well as MTB. I ride quit hard in the mountains and hardly use breaks on the down hill single tracks, would this device stay on the bike? And have you ever gotten your unit wet or have your friends 705 ever been wet. In winter I race MTB and often its in the pouring rain. Sorry about all the questions but since the 705 costs R 6000 + I don't want to discover after I bought it that it does not suit my style of riding.

I am looking for a new top of the range bike computer. I have looked at the garmin 705 and at the polo cs600x and polo rs800cx, have also looked at the suunto range. I am looking for a big display, like the garmin, but I have heard that the garmin is not very reliable when it come to storing information as well as reciving information when it is cloudy etc. The suunto seems to have accurate digital information about your heart rate etc, but has a small screen. the bike mount is also important as I lost my last computer in a race last week. What do you guys think, If money was no option which cycling computer would you buy?
