Thanks, RU, for the tip on the Cyclemeter app. I downloaded and used it for the first time yesterday -- I think I'm really going to like it. For the recreational and rambling, ambling rides I mostly do, this is just the ticket. Put it in my bag and check ride info during a break or after the ride.

Generally, I like my Sigma Sport computer. It is a small square pachkage with a very simple mount. As for the rear triangle... options with it would include building up the diameter of the seat stay (maybe?) of chainstay. Or get a Gino's mount, though you end up with a pokey-outy thing. Another

If you just want to record, you could a wireless computer and keep the computer in your seat bag. if you want wired because of the battery issue then just mount it upside down so you can't see it :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch

Find somebody to give you their old Avocet model 20 cyclometer. those had one data field on the display at a time. Leave it on Trip distance and never touch the mode button. check total distance in your garage as needed when the 0.0 speed wont bother you. On Apr 22, 6:34 am, Jim Thill -

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

This is what I want: http://tinyurl.com/3lvqm7s $15 at Amazon. I'll probably buy several. Can anyone say how durable they are? I used to like Avocets but they had a life of under five years except for the 35 which lasted 10. My Mity is about 8 and going strong. On Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 6:51 AM,

A friend got a Huret on e-Bay a year or so ago for something like $35 IIRC, so they are out there for a price. I did an unintentional century one day when the little rubber drive band had stretched to the point of slipping. dougP On Apr 22, 11:53 am, Marty mgie...@mac.com wrote: Two words:
