My other option is one of the wireless Cateyes, as recommended by my mechanic. But someone mentioned that it's a b**** to switch between bikes, and I'm not sure if it would be versatile enough to go on my bars and stem.
I never had a problem switching a Cateye from one to the other, but it cost more with a wireless set up because you need two battery powered sending unit sensors and a magnet. The Sigma wired computer is by far the simplest and cheapest to switch; you simply need to buy the handle bar mount, and the non-battery powered wired sensor along with the magnet, then the computer simply twists about a 1/4 of a turn to come off one mount and 1/4 of a turn to be put on the other mount. The Cateye had a tab you depressed to get it to come off, but if your not careful the tab has been known to break as mine did after about a year, so I had to tape mine to keep the computer from falling out when riding! I put the cellophane tape on the small rails that slides onto the mount which acted like friction rather then wrapping tape around the whole thing and look like a homer.
