Looking for good computer
Hello, I'm looking for a reasonable wireless computer for my bike. I've looked around and need to get some opinions on a good one to get. If anyone has any advice any help would be appreciated. I'd like to try and keep it under $40.
Thanks,
Robert
Thanks,

I don't know, what are the benefits of wireless? That's why I'm asking the folks that know there stuff. I just figured wireless would obviously be an easier installation, but do you end up sacrificing anything with this convenience?

That said, I use a wired setup.
