Cycle computers, still a thing?

You can get a coospo or igps gps computer that'll do all the basic garnin stuff for £20-25. Probably easier to find one of those to connect to an HRM than a Cateye velo or similar.

I use my phone to track and navigate.

The spec on the iGPSport and Coospo models approx £75-£100 looks pretty good, but for basic features the same could be said of their £40-60 models on Amazon.

I would normally post links, but the STW forum has always taken my Amazon links and turned them into weird "Kindle" picture links, which don't take me to Amazon.

I use my phone to track and navigate.

Up until a month or two ago, I would have said the same. However since buying a Garmin for an upcoming bikepacking trip, it’s massively changed things for me, to the point that I don’t think I could go back to not having one.

Perhaps a Garmin Edge 130 would do the trick?

Think Cateye still do traditional ones, but as above an Edge 130 would probably do the trick (though I think the plus has better battery life)

Loved mine 🥰

Garmin 130 plus, get a nice discount via STW memb........ oh never mind

I used one of these until I got a polar watch. Couldn't fault it.

Thanks for the suggestions, the garmin might be over my budget but I will do a little research. The coospo looks like it could be the jobbie👍

Couldn’t fault it.

Velo Wireless Cycle Computer

Apart from the computer unit routinely shaking loose of its mount and bouncing away to be lost in the undergrowth on downhills! I had several of those...

I still use a couple of Cateye Velo Wireless on a couple of bikes, simple and reliable

Cateye Micro Wireless for me 👍

No heart monitor connection so perhaps no good for the OP though.

One that gets clicked by a thing on your spoke ?

Second a Garmin Edge 130+. Does all I need including breadcrumb navigation. Tells you about climbs you are on, if you load a route. Thought this was a bit of a gimmick but it's pretty neat. Black and white screen is clearer than the more upmarket colour versions too. If you go off road, it measures your flow or some such nonsense with an accelerometer 😀

Garmin edge 25 is about as basic as it gets. Mine's been faultless for the past 10 years. Can connect HRM via ant+

I picked up a Garmin Edge 200 from FB Marketplace for twenty quid a few months back. It’s pretty basic and to sync your rides up to Garmin Connect it needs to be connected to a laptop with a USB cable, but by the same measure it gives me all the data I need, GPS tracks my rides and allows to to do post-match analysis in Strava should I so wish. If you’re not looking to spend a lot I’d suggest an old Garmin would more than suffice.
