Huret Multito would also qualify. Bulkier than the venerable Lucas, and plastic (ugh) but it has a resettable trip odo, and it's quiet. Belt drive!



The only spoke I can recall breaking on a front wheel had the striker of a Lucas screwed to it. Coincidence? Coulda been a one-in-a-million fluke I guess. The spoke didn't break where the striker was attached, it broke at the first thread where it went into the nipple. I think it was fatigue from all the tick-tick-tick. It was on that spoke for at least 10,000 miles before the spoke broke. Has anyone else ever heard of that?

I had that same belt driven Huret, Worked well back in the day. Ah, Lucas, aka Prince of Darkness - ask anyone who has owned a Leyland car from the 70's.
