Depends on what metrics you want, if any. I'm nerdy, and just take my Garmin 500 from my roadie to my MTB. But the reality is it's not very useful, mileage and time on trail is kind of nice. But keeping an eye on cadence or speed... if the handlebars aren't bouncing around too fast to read the display... you aren't having enough fun.

Garmin has wireless, magnetless, cadence and speed so no wires.
