[Closed] Cycle computer help, which one?

I'm looking for a wireless computer that measures cadence and can be used on two bikes with different wheel sizes.

Is there one? I don't even really need cadence on the second bike, just speed/distance. I've no need for GPS.

Thanks.

Look at the Cateye wireless double with cadence here http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/pp/road-track-bike/Cateye-COMPUTERS/CATECOMP

Yes, Cateye V3 or Polar do a few.

The extra fitting kits will be relatively expensive.

I know you said you don't need GPS but a garmin 500 wouldn't cost much more.

Thanks for the links, the Garmin 500 is a seriously nice bit of bit. Good point about the costs of the extra fitting, this is where the advantage of GPS comes in as there is no added cost other than a simple fitting kit.

It comes down to spending 80 odd quid on a normal computer and extra fitting kit, or a couple of hundred for a GPS with ANT+ compatibility, hmm might have to be the luxury item.

I've got a Polar CS400 and it's ace. Easy to use but just need to fit my cadence sensor.
