Bike computer options

[Weight Weenie]

Hi all

 

did a search but no real info.

 

Im needing a new bike computer for mtb racing and training.

Had a suunto t3 but its shot and buying new parts for it is not economical.

 

My needs are wireless speed, HR and cadence and must download to the pc so I can monitor myself and make graphs etc.  Would be cool to be able to upload a session as well.  Dont need full gps mapping but the routing is cool, how bout a virtual training partner/coach ?

 

Im looking at the edge 500, sigma rox 9 and polar cs400/600.

Anything from suunto to look at ? seems expensive....

Blackburn, cateye and topeak dont meet my needs.

Any others ?

 

My concerns are - measurement accuracy, mounting, battery replacement and service and how well the software works.

 

Please help !

Edge 500 will do everything you want

mounting and set up very easy

very user friendly can customise your display with the data you want to see

garmin connect and garmin training are easy to use to view your data

Dont have to replace the battery!!

At about 2600 from CRC its a great deal I really dont think you would regret the 500

Bliksem, does it still attract the normal 10 % and then 14% vat ? That would make it the same as the sigma and im sure this is MUCH better as the polar as well...

 

Anyone for a pta crc order ?

Got mine about 3 weeks ago paid CRC less than 2200 for the 500 bundle had to pay vat at post office was about 300 rand and shipping was about 120 rand

 

Total cost all in say 2620

 

Just looked on their site

 

Its 2157.11 now (10% discount)

Shipping 110.26

Vat at postoffice will be 302 rand plus 12 rand fee

 

look at total cost about 2582 if you ordered today

mmm think I might just pull the trigger, thanks crasher !

Is the normal shipping relaible or should I take the trackable one ?

What if this gets lost ?
