re: bell compasses aren't accurate in my experience

I have a couple of these compasses. For casual day riding etc they work fine but I found that by about half way around Lake Huron my bell compass was always pointing at the headset no matter what direction I was actually headed.

I find that a good compass in the handlebar bag map case seems to work better. I place the compass as far from the handlebars as possible.

This is my experience, your's may vary.
