Member  58  portland oregon |  Subject: Favorite ANT+ computer for speed and cadence only?I'm in the market for an ANT+ compatible computer for the bike. I don't need GPS, power or heart rate monitoring. Speed and cadence only (I have the chainstay mounted Duotrap cadence sensor in my Madone). I don't need GPS - Cyclemeter on the iPhone has been working well for that purpose. I can't wait for more affordable power meter options, but until then I don't do power. I tried heart rate monitoring as a runner and moved away from it rather quickly. As a result, I'm looking for a bare bones computer that will meet my basic needs. Anyone have a recommendation that's been working well? |

Sure it can do HR, but it saves you on the GPS side of things. I am not aware of much better for the cost without jumping to the FR 305. |

The price is right but I should have mentioned that I'm looking for a handlebar mounted unit. I use Nike+ for tracking the runs and the BIG clock at the pool for my swims (open water is rare in Oregon in the chilly months!). |

Says it's no in stock, but maybe somewhere else? I think you're going to have a hard time finding ant+ without GPS or other features. Garmin 500 or just get a wireless bike computer that does speed and cadence, no need for ant+ http://trisports.com/allcyclometers.html |

I believe they make a handlebar mount for it as well, could use it in a race in all 3 sports if you wanted, but the trek mentioned above is about the only other option I believe |

You can get a footpod and it's pretty accurate for the run I picked one up for $80 something a few weeks back with HR monitor. PM me if you want the details, I could dig them up but saw the advert here on beg tri |
