Hi a freind of mine wants a bike computer, I forgot to ask him if it's for a road or MTB bike, not that it's make a huge amount of difference i guess.

His requirements are:

Cadence

Big Screen

Preferably Wireless

Must be reliable (from previous experience with VDO's some can be pretty poor)

Any advice would be really appreciated, especially if you've bought a lemon!

Out of interest what were your issues with the VDO (as I've had one since Jan) and it's been ok, cadence readings go a bit nuts sometimes which I've put down to..... i don't know actually, electrical interference of some sort?occasionally, anyway it's been much better than my old 'Union' one which went completely crazy when it got cold

@ Royston When i worked in a bike shop (about 3/4 years ago) we had a run of VDO's and had a 90% failure rate, we ended up sending them all back without even selling the ones on the shelves, to save to customers getting agro! Saying that, i've got 2 of the earlier ones and they are great!
