Trek Incite 9i, but with cadence....?
I have the 9i wireless, which I love, but would like to add cadence.
Love the quality and simplicity of the Trek. Love the clean look of the wireless. What are my options? THANKS! -Bob |

Some of the units out there are nightmarish... for example, I will never, ever sell another Polar CS200 for as long as I live. And the units that use bluetooth-style technology, like the Trek digital incite, have problems staying "paired" at times, and nobody, to the best of my knowledge, has a one-button pairing function to get things working again. The most-reliable I've seen have been the Garmins, which, of course, include a GPS unit so they're rather expensive. A less-expensive option is the Trek Incite model that has wired cadence, wireless speed, as well as heart monitor and altimeter (an altimeter that really works). Trek had a promotion on those a while ago where a shop could sell them for as low as $80; regular price runs $119.99. Very reliable unit. It's called the ACH Wireless (*not* the Digital ACH). Only issue is that you will have a wire running from the computer to the crank. But... do you really need cadence? I find myself interested in cadence maybe one week out of the year, so I just count the revolutions in 15 seconds and multiply by 4. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA |

THANKS! -Bob Sigma BC1606 is your option. $72 from Nashbar. $80 at REI. It's really nice to have cadence on the computer, but wireless cadence is pretty rare. |
