what computer will fit on my giant aero fork?
Or, what computers come with a long wire to run to the rear wheel?


thanks!

Sigma Sport computers attach with big, sturdy rubber bands. They are my favorite computers, and I am fairly sure that the large rubber band would stretch around your aero fork.

The Cateye Astrale hooks up to the rear wheel. It also has a cadence sensor that attaches to a chainstay and reads a magnet on one of your cranks.

I'm sure there are other choices out there, but these are two that I know.

I just use a standard Cateye computer on my wide forks. I attach the sensor using a couple of those zip up cable ties. Works wonders.

I have a Vetta R77 with the sensor mounted on my Litespeed aero fork. Works great. :beer:

I have a Cateye Astrale (long wire for rear wheel sensor) on my commuter. It works great also. :thumbup:

I have recently purchased and installed a Cateye wirless computer on my bike , i am sure the instructions informed that it would fit on most forks ( including Aero )

I must add that it works a treat , with spot on accurate read outs

I have just been and checked , and it will certainly fit on AERO forks as there is an addaptor to use for such a purpose.

Ditto on the Cateye Wireless. I've got one and they're very nice and the wireless keeps the bike looking as clean as you can with 2 shift cables and 2 brake cables everywhere.

The mount comes with two size straps and will fit most aero forks. If not a couple of zip ties and some creativity will do.
