It's gotten cold again since yesterday, hasn't it?
Yesterday, it was snowing in Nagoya from the morning, too.
Perhaps dreaming of spring amidst this chill,
many people have been installing these lately.
What are they, you ask?
These—cycle computers.
Basic functions include speed (current, average, and max), distance (trip and total),
ride time, and time of day. Some models can also measure calories burned and CO2 reduction.
With this many features, it’s guaranteed to make your tours or even your daily commute to work
more enjoyable. It gives you something to aim for, too.
However, if you want to use it for training, the functions above aren't enough.
That's right: a cadence measurement function.
Cadence is the number of pedal rotations per minute.
You shift up when you want to increase speed, and
shift down when going up hills is tough, right?
What’s important at those times is to keep your cadence consistent.
By doing so, your energy efficiency improves,
allowing you to ride long distances without getting tired.
It varies from person to person so it’s just a guideline,
but for road racing, it’s said to be around 90.
For those just starting out, it's around 70.
Knog NERD ¥5,980 (9 functions) ¥9,450 (12 functions)
Neither has a cadence function
CATEYE STRADA DOUBLE WIRELESS ¥12,600
(9 functions + cadence)
CATEYE VERO5 ¥2,310 (5 functions)
Prices vary depending on the number of features, whether it has a cadence function,
and whether it is wired or wireless.
We have many other models in stock besides the ones mentioned above,
so please come by and take a look if you're interested.
We’ll be happy to teach you how to use them, too!
