I've contemplated this myself, but have not done anything about it yet. I assume that if you're mounting it on the rear triangle, you want to put the display unit in a seat bag. Seems like that would work, as long as the magnet can be mounted close enough to the spokes to pick up the signal as on a fork=mounted unit. You could also look into wireless computers and still hide the display unit in a bag on the bike. For now, I'm going to keep my own log for rides. It's not too hard for me to figure out the mileage after the fact. Just thought of something: I"m sure that a regular GPS unit will record mileage over a given route, time, etc. I wonder if iPhones and other devices with GPS can be set up to do the same. Just carry the iPhone in the bag. I realize that this goes in the opposite direction of your wish to simplify! Steve
