The battery on my current cycle computer (10yrs old specialized) finally died. I replaced the battery and the data reset.

If someone can recommend a unit that will not reset and is in the sub $50 category I'd appreciate it. Basic features are fine.

Most Cat-Eyes can be manually reset for the odometer (total distance) reading after a battery change but you have to know the mileage reading before you replace the battery. You also have to reenter the wheel calibration setting and clock setting but at least you can keep the total distance showing on the same cyclometer.

Most others I'm familiar with reset the odometer to zero after a battery change and there is nothing you can do the reenter the distance value.

I an reenter the total distane on the odometer of my Sigma. Again though you have to know it ahead of time. I doubt you'll find a unit that DOESN'T do that.

Let us know if you find one though!

On my Sigma wired unit you can manually set both the distance and the time for 2 bikes. With the second-bike mount it cost me about $50 from Niagara Cycles.
