I probably would have posted this in the "Dinosaurs" group if there was one -- I still use a Cateye wired cycle computer. I've tried wireless computers of different brands and found them unreliable. However my Cateye Velo 7 has always met my needs. Yes it has wires, but it's small and has been a rock-solid device that told me what I needed to know. Until now...

Today as I started my ride it completely reset itself as if I'd put a new battery in. Odometer mileage? Gone. Wheel size? Gone. So I rode using the old fashioned method of distance and time (riding a rail trail that conveniently provides mile markers every tenth of a mile!!).

Now I'm looking for a new solution. I don't want to spend big bucks on a GPS. Do I want another low-tech Cateye? Or should I just start using my iPhone and one of the many apps available on the Apps Store? I have a FitBit with a GPS, but that provides ride summary info, not real-time distance/time/pace info which I find myself relying on.

Please let me know if you use an iPhone-based solution, and how you have that big iPhone 6/7/8/10 mounted on your handlebar (or top tube?). If you have a favorite app or mounting bracket, please share. Or if you have other ideas that pull me into the 21st century let me know. TIA.
