I've already got a couple of Cateye V2c/V3 computers; the V3 tracks heartrate, in addition to the speed and cadence monitored by the V2c. The speed/cadence sensor, magnets, and handlebar mount brackets, are exactly the same for both.
I've also got a spare Ixon IQ headlight. These interfere with many wireless computers, including my previous Cateye, but not with the 2.4GHz Cateye V2c/V3.
I'm torn between two Cateye rear lights. The compact TL-LD170 is an old and trusted favourite - simple, inexpensive, effective, and reliable. The bigger TL-AU100BS incorporates a large reflector and looks like it could be just the thing for British winters, I'd be interested to see one in the flesh and give it a try. I just might end up ordering one of each.
