This thread has probably been done to death but I can’t find what I’m looking for so will try in the vain hope of finding some direction.
Whilst I track my rides on “Runtastic road bike” which is great for post ride info, it kills the iPhone battery to keep the display on for a long ride and it usually dies about 15 miles in. I therefore need a cycle computer of some kind to give me live info to monitor key info.
The main data I’m looking for is distance, current speed, average speed and cadence. I’d also like to be able to see heart rate (from my Polar FT7 heart rate monitor) if possible.
This should allow me to monitor progress as I (in theory) get fitter and control my pace on long rides.
The budget is flexible but I’d like to keep it under £50 as a starting point if that’s realistic and I don’t mind buying secondhand. I can go more if necessary though. Navigation would also be another nice thing to have, but I suspect that would put the price right up and I also may be better off getting a stand-alone unit.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
