I'm thinking I'll get a small, cheap computer and mount it out of the way, possibly on the rear wheel with the computer mounted to the seatpost or the frame, sonce I would really just get a number off it once a week.
Can anyone recommend a cheap, sturdy, and small computer with a sturdy mount? Something built like a tank that i can permenantly mount to the bike would be best, I think.
Thanks!
They had a blow out sale on cheapie cyclometers last week. I picked up 6 of them for a couple bucks each. Haven't mounted any yet, so I can't give a critique.
I have a really cool one from the 80's which is an analog one. It's three wheels that rotate and track the miles. I mean, real little wheels! Like on a bike combination lock. You reset it by spinning the wheels to 0. It's pretty cool.
