[RBW] silly question re: cyclometers

Maybe its my age but its a confusing world looking at the many different cyclometers (or whatever they are called) Im looking for something wireless, simple that has the basic (important) features likeHow fast? Distance? Total miles? But well built. Most I look at seem cluttered with endles

If you have a smartphone, Cyclemeter works well, even the free version, which does far more than I need. Other Patrick's practice is far too zen and mellow for me, but cyclemeter or somesuch at least requires no special gadget for each bike. On Tue, Jul 26, 2016 at 9:18 AM, bluebirdonabicycle < g

Oh, there are three levels of Cateye Padrone, and I was pointing to the least complex, least costly one. On 7/26/16 12:47 PM, David Hallerman wrote: Cateye Padrone. Basic, simple, large, well-built. - David Hallerman - On Jul 26, 2016, at 11:18 AM, bluebirdonabicycle mailto:gentlemanonabic

I like using a computer, and I’ve used a lot of different kinds. In my opinion, the best computer ever made was the Avocet 50, which sadly has been out of production for many years. Big numbers, easy to use, with elevation gain. I wrote about it here: http://campyonlyguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/in

My currently cycle computer is my iPhone 5S on a QuadLock mount running the Wahoo Fitness app and the Wahoo Tickr X and Blue SC sensors. I do not often refer to it while riding, but I do like having the data available for after ride comparisons. (This ride felt harder. Was it?) I also like that

I use Strava on my iPhone to track my rides. But I don't refer to it en route. Also, Strava/GPS seems to drain the battery significantly, so it's not a good solution for very long rides. (Although, I've solved the battery problem with the USB charge off my Luxos U). I use a simple cyclometer on

The Padrone has a bigger screen than the Micro Wireless, but uses the same mount and transmitter. You can simply swap out one for the other. > On Jul 26, 2016, at 2:42 PM, 'Mark Etze' via RBW Owners Bunch > wrote: > > > Not sure what the difference is between the Cateye Padrone and Cateye Mi

Nothing silly about the question, not for this geek anyway... :-) I've been a fan of Garmin units for many years, used Polar before that. The basic units of 20 years ago left me wanting for more, whereas the latest Garmin units, even the most basic are really good, especially with the new sensors
