opinions, experience with wireless cyclo-computers

I have used several brands of wireless computers and found that they all work pretty well. Even though the wireless transmitters are virtually interchangeable, I have not experienced the cross-talk that is much more common in HRMs (even with coded belts).



I highly recommend the CylcoMaster series - esp the CM434 or CM436m. They are both wireless speed plus an option for wired cadence. The CM36m has a 60 hour memory, an interface and software to upload your ride data to your PC. A bit pricey but useful (go to www.xxcycle.com to check prices).

I'm thinking of going wireless and I'd like to hear people's experiences

with them. ?I always puzzled over whether or not two wireless 'puters would

engage in crosstalk when users rode close together.



Thanks.

I ridden wireless for over 15 years and it always, no mater brand, has worked well, night or day. Unless you are riding on top of the next rider, which means you just bit it, there will be know cross talk.

I tried them a few years ago. If you ride at night, your light system will generate enough interference to render it useless. I had a small Planet Bike light on and I rode 77.77 MPH! When I used my NightRIder HID the whole thing just stopped registering. I've tried twice with different brands.



I've never had the lights bugger with a HRM, so I suspect it is the close proximity.
