Cyclocomputer

More advanced models with additional sensors and storage may display and record altitude, incline (inclinometer), heart rate, power output (measured in watt) and temperature as well as offer additional functions such as pedaling cadence, a stopwatch and even GPS navigation and video data overlay synchronization.A sensor based either on the Hall effect, or on a magnetic reed switch, is attached to the fork or the rear of the frame.Data can be exported to a SD card, computer, or phone and uploaded to an internet web service.Wireless cadence and speed sensors use wireless communication standards ANT + and Bluetooth Low Energy and can directly communicate with a smartphone application that also uses the phone's GPS, barometer, temperature, clock, and other sensors to create a more detailed picture, record, or map.For more accuracy the bicycle (with the set cyclocomputer) must be ridden by the intended rider over an accurately measured distance.If the gear change doesn't actually happen, or the computer's sensors are too sensitive (e.g.: when braking with STI-style shifters), the information displayed is not accurate.These units incorporate elements that measure torque at the crank, or rear wheel hub,[7] or tension on the chain.
