I've not used a bike computer in years, and now I need one for the Turbo.
I heard a rumour that some wireless ones don't work. What do folk recommend?

TIA

I use a Cat Eye Astrale 8 it is wired but works of the rear wheel for speed etc and crank arm for cadence.

An HRM more use I reckon, cycling computer bit pointless can only tell you how long you have been riding any measure of speed/distance is just silly talk. And a big clock for those pedal until you vom sprints.

What hels said except the thread should properly be entitled "what skip for my turbo?".

Mmmm - got the HRM already.

I suppose measuring distance might be less important.

I like knowing how far I've ridden on the turbo,the more you know the you tell by how much you're improving - same h/rate, same amount of time & same resistance setting mean nothing really, but if you've covered more miles then you're getting fitter......
Plus the more things you have to look at the easier it is to stay on there,it's handy to know your cadence too
