It is cleaner to have wireless and they have good technology now. You have to replace batteries more often, 2032's but big deal! SO after your warm up you can get to the line and delete all the info, press and hold till it says delete all. You will retain your trip up value, (don't do trip down in my opinion.)

SO then you will have the race data for the race and after your cool down still all the miles for the warm up, the race, and the cool down.

GO REAL FAST!

Yea that was the one I've been looking at. I am probably gonna go and pick one up this weekend so I have it in time for my first race. What version would you recommend? Wired or wireless?

Hi!

We had a similar discussion a few weeks ago. I recommend from SIGMA the 1606L which has cadence. In particular what I like about SIGMA's are that you can reset any of the individual functions and I know of no other computer that does that. For example, say you ride to a group ride and warm up. Then the group ride goes, you can zero out the average speed and the distance and when the group ride ends you know what the average was for just that portion and now the distance too. BUT you had a Trip mode going so you still have your mileage in there for the whole ride. There is max speed and clock and stopwatch and so on too. Nice company. If you don't want cadence you can get a less expensive model but they have wireless cadence and wireless computers.

I just started to get into cycling, and I would like to get a good bike computer for a good price so I can track how fast, far, etc I am going. So if anyone knows of a nice bike computer that is under $100 (preferably between $50 - $70, I ask that you could give me a link to somewhere that sells it so I can try and get one. Thanks!
