bike computers

[tiredlegs]

Evening all.
Been looking at getting myself a computer for my rides but unsure which to go for (so much choice). Not looking for GPS or HRM,just a good unit for speed,distance etc. My budgets around £50. I found a cateye adventure on ebay (new,£50 inc del),anyone got an opinion on this or any other computer.
Thanks in advance for any help

No need to spend more than £30 for simple data.

I just got a Cateye Velo wireless, £30 fitted, tells me speed, distance, time ridden and a few other things

....sorry,should have added that I want an altimeter and gradient function

Right

There's a review of the cateye one here - £50 looks a good price http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/categ...computers/product/adventure-computer-10-39400

I would love to get one that tells me how fast I'm going but I can't really afford one.

Won't be the best, but Lidl selling for £4 on 14 March http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/SID-0E50C8EE-7D44B23D/lidl_uk/hs.xsl/index_18823.htm

Basic cateye wired is £ 13 - if you can fit by self

I got a Cateye Velo wireless new for £20 off Ebay a tenner cheaper than my LBS. It's really easy to fit and works very well. I also have a Velo 8 wired on my other bike and this is great also, but I extended the wires on this so that the sensor would work on the rear wheel for my turbo trainer. The wireless does not have quite enough range for this so the manual says. Not that I have tried it.

£20 Velo Wireless (reliable seller)

So how many of you didn't read the addendum about requiring Altitude and gradient ?
