Do you have one?
What do you use?

I just bought the sigma wireless, with cadence and speed, and it is the biggest POS ever ($100). Clunky, not very good attatchments to the bike, sucks. Dont buy it.

Any reccomendations?
Besides the Garmin 705 of course haha, its godly.

I just installed the Filzer dZ4L. I like the max speed function.

I'm using a Garmin edge 305 and love it. Unless you really need the mapping feature of the 705, the 305 should have everything you need for half the price.
On my older bikes I always had cateye computers, they were always reliable.

I bought one at MEC,just a cheapo model but it works well,i like the average speed feature.Overall i think the computer is a good gadget to have.

I use run keeper on my iPhone.

$9.99 and tracks everyting, plus it automagically loads workouts into an online diary.

If I sell a bunch this qtr I might get a Cyclops Powermeter.

Yeah.. don't really need the gps, but the powermeter function would be nice to track status on the 705.
Does the 305 have that?

Strongly considering the 305 though.

No, the 305 isn't compatible with a powermeter. I haven't ever trained with power, not yet anyways. I'd consider the 705, but buying that and a powermeter would really hurt the bank account.
