I strongly recommend against wireless. I have owned a few and none were satisfactory.

My companions on the TA used wireless and hated them. They logged miles while in a restaurant if they parked anywhere near the front of the restaurant if there was a neon sign in the window. They also got bogus readings around power lines, electric fences, and other stuff.

My advice is just go with a nice wired unit. The ones listed as mountain bike computers tend to have a heavier duty wire if that is what your concern is. The Cateye Enduro 8 is a nice one.

Sorry but I can't recommend a wireless one since none of the ones I have tried were satisfactory.
