Hi guys,
I've recently taken up cycling as a form of fitness. I'd been running daily for a couple months previously, but running really hurts! So I ditched that for a bike and haven't looked back since!
Now, I realise that there are a few other threads on here asking for cyclocomputer recommendations, and I've read most of them. However, I was wondering if I could outlay a few criteria and see what you guys think would be best?
I was going to go for one with cadence, but I really don't think I need it. Also, wireless isn't a necessity for me (but won't say no!!). I guess the two BIG criteria I'm looking for are a backlight and a big screen. Not big as in size of your head big, just a decent size. As far as other features go - I'm not overly fussed, I think I'm just after basic features (speed, odo, clock etc). Also auto start-stop would be great (but I assume that this is a standard feature of most computers?). Can I say that I've found the lack of backlight on most computers to be appalling!
So, based on those two features, what would you guys recommend? I'm hoping to spend as little as possible (prob. buy off ebay if I can). I've looked at the Sigma BC1606L's on ebay, but they seem quite small (hard to tell).
Thanks in advance!
