  The Edge 130 is also on sale.

  Mind that you still should get sensors to go with both of these.

  Do you need anything additional to get these mounted on a bike and getting accurate readouts?

  The sensors are another ~$100..

    Mounting kit is included but yes you really need sensors (although gps can work independently). You don’t need to have Garmin, any Ant+ or Bluetooth sensors will work. Eg Decathlon does a set for about $60. I’m sure eBay or Ali baba have them cheaper.

      I disagree, you don't NEED sensors as the accuracy outdoors without them is fine for most users. The sensors will however allow additional information (i.e. cadence) or recording speed on a basic wheel-on indoor trainer for example, if you need that.

      Don't need sensors. GPS speed is fine for most users. I really don't understand cadence sensors too - you should be able to feel how fast you are pedaling.

        As you've already spent 300+ on the computer a cadence sensor (HR if you have the money) is a sensible extra. Otherwise, save your pennies and use your phone.

        BTW you don't need the power meter.

        A lot of drills require a specific cadence for muscle strength or aerobic training. Outside of that its a pretty useless number.

  If you’re not pairing it up with power meters, sensors etc then a Edge 130 would do the job fine. Unless you want mapping etc.

  While you don’t need any speed or cadence sensors for both of these units to work I feel that cadence or a power meter (which most do cadence too) is the best for training. It takes the guess work out of it.

    Got my Garmin Edge 130 about a year ago on sale $200. Couldn't be happier with it. In the past, I thought a big colour screen was optimal when in fact, all you really want is a crisp display that reads well in full sunlight, only the features you "need" and a good battery life.

  Anyone able to recommend any cheaper options for gps/speed tracking ? Or is a phone attached do the job?

    Lezyne do some decent no-frills model for low $100's.

      Basic no-frills, yeah Lezyne is great, but I would argue at a similar price point you'd get more from the Edge 130. I actually upgraded from the Lezyne Super GPS which I've had for about a year to the Edge 530 just last week, hands down Garmin provides more functionality.
