Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Best method of mounting computer?

I just got a new Specialized Cyclosport Compe Computer, its my first computer... and i was kinda assuming that in this day & age, itd be wireless. But I see thats not the case. What is the best way to mount/hide the wiring without leaving an ugly bundle of slack? I dont want to disgrace my pretty carbon fork by wrapping it with a wire.

Wrap it down around the cables, then zip tie it to the frame.

cut off the excess, and join it back up with a simple granny knot...

Although some folks do use clear packing tape in lieu of zip ties. If your computer did not come with zip ties, you may have to go to your LBS for ones that are about 1/8" wide and at least 8" long.
