Tesco's cheapo cycle computer?

Are they ok?

I need a simple cheap computer just to measure distance. No point in spending loads, plotting my routes every time I come home is a bit boring tbh.

If it's cheap enough, and wired, then give it a go. Little to lose.

I 'made do' with a cheap Aldi computer for ages and it did all I wanted.

Nice one, I'll go down today and get one.

even the wireless one is good for a tenner. managed to get the magnet on the rear wheel and sensor on the rear stay for wifeys bike on the turbo . Yes i know she should be on the road but if its getting her confidence up and weight down its not a problem.

I'm tempted to buy the £15 one, as it's got cadence, although it's wired which is not necessarily a bad thing. I currently have a cheap wireless one, but my lights do interfere with it, and there's the hassle of changing extra batteries.

ooooh, i'm glad i read this before i set off, i didn't know they had wireless.

Is it Wired or Wireless, if its wired and it'll not break the bank give it a go.

wired for 6 or wireless for a tenner...both offer gvfm

I have the Tesco wired one on my Road Bike and MTB and.......although a bit fiddly to fit (par for the course I reckon) they give sterling service once you input the correct wheel circumference.

I had a previous model Tescos one (just a different shape and colour) on my mtb for years previously and it only bit the dust after I cackhandedly removed the front wheel and smashed the sensor.

All the basic functions.

Use a cheapie one myself, only want it to monitor my speed and total mileage, use Strada for all the other information I need.
