Why I'm Talking About a $100 Bike Computer (Even Though I Ride a $350 One)

I personally ride a Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT and love it - but a lot of riders don't want to spend $350 on a bike computer. The COOSPO CS600 usually sells for around $100. Sometimes a little less. That puts it in a completely different category than the Wahoo. I want to be very clear about something: I do not ride this unit myself. I'm not pretending I do, and I'm not recommending it as a replacement for the Wahoo.
