Boy, if it could mount on the fork, didn't have to deal with a wireless sensor, omitted the bell it might be just about right. IF, I were to ever go the bike computer on the bike route again, I'd long for the equivalent of the ol' Sachs Huret belt drive unit that I had when I was a kid. On

I have to admit, I'd consider one of these. Looks much better than the current crop, and I kind of miss my computer (but don't want to mount one of the Riv). This looks like it's purely conceptual though. On Sunday, June 17, 2012 5:44:51 PM UTC-4, ekoral wrote: i thought if anyone would

Can you tell us what the failure mode of your ex-computers were? I have a bunch of wired and wired computers and other than battery changes, they had outlasted the inevitable match of technology (to GPS, etc). I still have at least 2 sets of Cateye wireless Stradas and 2 sets of wired Mity IIs

I hope the head unit is rechargeable and has a big battery. Analog displays are cool and all, but they're energy hogs, especially for dials and counters. And I'm not any the electronic bell can simulate my Japanese brass bell well enough. On Jun 17, 2:44 pm, ekoral eko...@gmail.com wrote: i

My biggest beef with bike computers over the years has been their durability. I hate to think how many I have owned and discarded in less than two years. This one looks nice, but does it really have the ruggedness that is needed? Michael On Sunday, June 17, 2012 5:44:51 PM UTC-4, ekoral
