If cost is a big concern, I agree. If you're able to spend a little more, I've been very happy with the Vetta 100 HRM, which does all three and has some other nice features as well.TheCycologist said:I think it might just be cheaper to go for 2 things on this one. The Cateye Astrale is a great bike computer for $30. With it you get cadence, ride mileage, max speed, average speed, current speed, and total mileage. Not a bad deal for $30.
Then grab an HRM for cheap. A three in one would be difficult, especially with cadence. I've found it's hard to find things integrated with cadence, most higher end bike computers seem to ignore cadence. Though if you didn't go with cadence, there are several bike computer/HRM combos.
There are numerous sites where you can find both of these things extremely cheap.

If you're looking for an all in one package, there are a few on the market. I use the Polar s720i. It pretty much has it all. Speed, distance, avg speed, max speed, avg HR, max HR, laps, intervals, cadence, altitude.... a ton of features. I also use it when I go running.sergen said:Out of interest, can anybody suggest any units that can perform all 3 functions in one - cadence monitor, HRM, and general cycling computer to calculate speed, distance, etc.
I'm thinking of treating myself to something to a birthday present so price isn't so much of an issue.
I use the Ciclio HAC4+, which has all those functions plus altitude, climb grade, stopwatch, and countdown timers (for intervals). And, I'm pretty sure the top end Polar units have all those functions as well. But, now that I have a power meter (PowerTap SL), the only functions I use are climb grade and the countdown timers. And, that's only because I already own it. If you're looking to treat yourself to a birthday present, consider getting a power meter.sergen said:Out of interest, can anybody suggest any units that can perform all 3 functions in one - cadence monitor, HRM, and general cycling computer to calculate speed, distance, etc.

Does anyone know if the CatEye CC-TR100 has ever been released?peterlip said:I purchased an Echo XR back in April which does all 3 in one, and displays all 3 at once, so you don't have to play with buttons while riding.
I reviewed it here: http://www.cyclingforums.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=355&sort=7&cat=30&page=1
It cost me AUS$165.00 here in Australia, and it does everything I need in a computer/HRM.

Is their a computer with HRM and cadence that will measure speed from the rear wheel? My wife spends more time on the trainer than on the road, and rear wheel speed and distance are a must.
Buy a Cateye Astrale Cadence Computer, then a Polar heart rate monitor of your choice. I have tried multiple combinations and found this to be the most reliable and useful. You can upgrade to the Cateye Wireless with Cadence, but you'll spend about $100 more and will have the same functions. Plus the Astrale is easier to read.koger said:Hello
I'm wondering what equipment I should get. Could you give me any advice?
Should I get all 3 things?
Should I get all things in 1 unit or in 2 units?
Any recommendations, as cheap as possible. I don't have to much money to spend on this.
