looking for something i can use on my commute
nothing to fancy just need distance,speed(average and maximum)
and a clock and pretty easy to operate
had a search but a bit baffled with the amount on offer
what brands should i be looking for/avoiding

I’d suggest avoiding wireless – more expensive, less reliable (particularly in winter) and offer no real benefits IMO – in years of cycling I’ve never damaged a computer wire.

Fair enought dear fellow, but might I suggest the sigma wireless cadence (circa 2007/8, think it had product code beginning with 16…..) job, been flawless for me rain come shine 😉

I thought wireless was the way to go but i see your point… cheaper you say oh well thats fella
so Sigma any other brands what about Cateye anyone any experience with them,seems to be a lot around

Cateyes for me but Sigma are good too – tbh, most are fine these days.
