Trek had the Incite ACH computers on sale for about $60 (regular $119). Today was my first test with it and I really like it. My other computer kept messing up on the maximum speed and that was one thing I wanted to see after each ride. It will be fun to see much climbing I do on each ride, it won't be much but it's still nice to know. I like the fact that I can see the % of grade for each hill too. That part fluctuates quite a bit but at least I can figure out approximately what the grade is.
Anyone else get this computer?

I was kind of hoping you were going to tell us how great your new I-Mac is.

I am wondering whether this is the same litespeed from the Tandem forum of a few years ago that was a bit worried about riding Fast. Next thing you know is that she is buying a better computer to see how fast she went down that 20% hill and also finding out how steep the climb was to get to it.:innocent::innocent:

Yes, you found me out. I'm not going down 20% grades yet, just 10% but working up to it. We are still riding the tandem too and going faster then I thought I ever would. As I get older, I'm gaining a little more confidence.

Glad to see you have improved. Now find the 20% and let us see the 50mph on your next ride. And its not age that is improving you- It is experience.
