| ![]() Well quite a few reputed brands for cyclometers like Garmin,Sigma,Polaris,Cateye etc.I am using Sigma BC 2209 Targa(wireless),has the regular functions of showing speed & distance along with H.R monitor. Some cyclometers even have a cadence(The number of revolutions of the crank per minute) sensor. Even I started with 10kms/4 days a week,a month and a half back.Right now doing 30kms/4 days a week. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Thanks Yogi. Planning to visit Decathlon again this weekend to find out what they are offering for cycle comps. In bikesZone forum some people have mentioned about Cat Eye Strada Cadence but I'm unable to find that in India. BTW, with rains are about to be here soon, what about fenders for the bikes? The ones at Decathlon are useless from what I've seen. Any recommendation on this front? Or no Fenders are available for MTB's? |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() As part of Hyderabad Bicycle Club rides, today went along with a group to 'Yadagirigutta Ride'. Total time I took:~15Hrs, total distance from home to destination and back: ~200 Km. Did it on the new MTB and managed to reach home in one piece. Boy, effects of dehydration are multifold! Took as much care as to rehydrate but still not enough. Last edited by deetee : 28th April 2012 at 21:03. |

| ![]() Guys a question. What I have noticed in my recent riding. My chain hits the chain stay as soon as I go over bad roads or uneven patch (which is common in Mumbai) So after every ride my chain stay has bit of oil and dirt. I don't think this is a design flaw and should be common with people going off-road in MTBs. Is it common with you guys? What can be done to prevent it? I get bit uneasy hearing that noise. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Wow a Bicycles thread :-). Since april last year my driving has reduced by 90% and traveling by bicycle has taken the front seat. Commute to work at-least once a week. 28kms one way and I start way before Bangalore is awake. 4.30AM ![]() Quote:

Regarding the Cycle Comps, I saw a couple of wireless ones in Decathlon last week, but didn't want to buy without any reviews and hence placed it on hold. I am currently using mapmyride app to track my usage which is very good. The only thing which i miss in this app is the top speed. It shows only the average speed at the end of each workout. Is there any way to figure out the top speed with this same app? | |

Delivered 10th October It was part of an order. I also ordered Giro helmet, Shimano Clipless pedals & shoes, Sombrio Boom gloves. Yes. There was customs. IIRC, I paid Rs. 5000+ customs for the whole lot. SKS Blumels MTB Mudguards Set might suit you best. Yes they are available for MTBs too. Thanks, Rajan | |
