$300 wireless head unit not included. $150 wired (get the carbon window hub, not the original with the end cap held on with two allen head screws) complete.
Can somebody list all the things I need to get a setup going?[
Powertap, spokes, battery cover wrench, head unit, download cradle if you get a Cervo head, home computer, Golden Cheetah (free)
I would probably end up selling the wheelset I have (reynolds solitude) and upgrading to carbon while I'm at it, as I already have a spare carbon front zipp wheel. How much would the head unit cost? Does the hub need maintenance?
< $50 for a wireless Cervo "little yellow computer" plus more for the download cradle. $150 for a Garmin Edge 500 if you shop around.
You'll spend much more for a carbon wheel.
