Cycle computer speedo thingi help

[Peter Armstrong]

I’m looking for a stem mounted computer that will display the following all at once.

Time
Speed
Distance
Cadence
Power
Heart Rate

I don’t want GPS, but I would like to look at all these variables and go oooooooowwwwww.

I spent a few hours yesterday goggling, reading review etc and I cannot find one to suit?

I want to see the basic Speed time and distance, but I want to see for example; If i do the same climb week after week, but each time I change a variable, try up my cadence by using a lower gear, see the effect on my heart rate, time, power etc, or try to up my power can I get up the hill quicker etc. - (Hope that bit makes sense.)


Any Ideas?

You won't get one that tells you power (unless you have a device that can measure power and transmit it to the head unit).

However, I will tell you this! If you increase your power output, you will get up the hill faster (assuming you don't also get heavier), this is a given!

Do they not make them? This dude on youtube swore by using power meters for hill climbing?

 

[Rob3rt]

A power meter is a piece of equipment that costs ~£500-700+ for a bog standard power tap up to several thousand £ for an SRM.

It comes in the form of a hub or crankset (excluding a few other oddball systems out there) that measures flex using strain gauges to determine torque then using the torque value and cadence, it will calculate power and transmit it to the head unit.

Thank you, thats saved my alot of more searching for power meters under £100 ha ha

Im sure that will be alot easyer now.

OMG there too many, and do you have to buy the cadence kit seperate? Arrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

[Peter Armstrong]

Do the computers that say can do cadence actualy come with the sensors or do the sell them seperate?

Get a Garmin Edge 500.
That does all the above.
You can buy them as a package with HRM and Cadence inc.

Too expensive, I have a gamin to record my route, it has heart rate too. So really it needs

Time
Speed
Distance
Cadence
Power
Heart Rate

 

[Rob3rt]

What Garmin device do you have? You may be able to pair it with a GCS10 speed/cadence sensor.

 

[ianrauk]

Then buy a Garmin compatible cadence sensor.

Its just a forerunner

 

[Rob3rt]

Which Forerunner though? Some of them can pair with Garmin GSC10 sensors.
