Hard to see how "much more prone to failure" however,* with so few moving parts; though I agree this one looks pricey compared to the plastic 27" Schwinn which can also be reset-someone was asking $20 for.
Well, I remember my father had a nice all-metal one on his 1976 Super Le Tour. I managed to break it by going too fast down a hill. As I recall, there was a maximum recommended speed. Maybe if the little pointer that spun the wheel thingie on the odometer had been in perfect alignment....
I have a slightly less nice Schwinn mechanical odometer from the early 1980s. I think it's plastic. I don't think it is resettable. You can have it for the cost of shipping (if I can find it that is).
