Need help: Where to buy Powertap SL wired CPU / 2.4 HR

Hey guys,

I just picked up a new Powertap SL hub (wired), I need to find the CPU (wired) and I want to get the 2.4 Ghz version so I can get the HR strap as well. I'm googling like mad and I have found a link or two from shops in the UK (I'm in Buffalo) and the product details are either too vague (or non-existent) so I have no Idea what I'm getting for the money.

I want to buy this: https://www.cyclepowermeters.com/powe...-kit-395-p.asp

But there is no information on what the kit comes with, so I don't want to spend the money not knowing. I've sent them an email asking for specifics.

I'm wondering if anyone has first hand advise on where to get the CPU/USB, HR, and Sensors for my hub. If there are any deals out there or what. New to this computer genre.

Any help would be great, I want to get this thing setup and going. Thanks.

You might check with Psimet here on BF. I think the bundle you are looking for is called the "Electro Pack." It should cost somewhere around $180 I think.

yeah I have to be careful because they only make wireless now, so lots of the ones on eBay / online stores are 2.4 wireless sets. I think this i my hangup so far.

There has to be wired bundles sitting around somewhere that I am not finding online.

I did also email Saris asking about this as well.

Update:

I just ordered the wired CPU & 2.4 coded HR combo today. I think I'm going to have to get the sensors and USB cradle separate, but I'll wait and see. A friend told me he had an extra set of sensors anyways.
