[RBW] Odometer only? (Jones counter)

2011-04-22 Thread Rex Kerr
Does anybody know of a source for a simple bicycle odometer that doesn't
include speed?  Something like an old Jones counter would be great

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_Counter

I like knowing how far I've ridden to keep track of yearly mileage, total
mileage on the particular bike, maintenance, and sometimes navigation, but I
hate having the speed always displayed in my face -- I'd rather NOT know how
fast I'm going (or not going), and choose not to have speedometers on most
of my bikes (I have on on my touring bike for the clock  odometer for
navigation).

If not a manual odometer...  any suggestions for a small and simple bike
computer that could be mounted on the rear triangle, yet be inconspicuous?

Thanks!

Haha... could it have really been so easy?  I surely hope that wasn't linked
from the wikipedia page that I linked to...

That said... it's exactly what I asked for, but not quite what I wanted...
I'd like something a little nicer looking (that looks too industrial) and
the fact that they're bragging that one unit made it to 2500 miles and
another one lasted 750 miles has me wondering just how durable they really
are...  I'm hoping to put more miles than that on my Homer, per year, when
it finally arrives.
