What computers have a stem mount???
I just installed my K-Wing bars tonight...and, because of the design of the bars, I cant use my Specialized Turbo computer. I am looking for a new computer, that I can mount to my stem. Anyone have one, or know of one?

Cateye made a stem mounting kit for the Astrale 8. Don't know if they exist for their other computers. There was a picture of the mounting kit in the on-line PDF version of the owner's manual. The printed copy that I have doesn't mention the kit.

Profile Design makes a universal knob kit to intall any cyclecomputer on aerobars. You can also get by with PVC pipe, cable ties, and a hacksaw.

A local bike shop (the same guys who invented the Cane Creek Crono-wheels and the Tire Finger) has invented one of these. Try https://www.bikepartsusa.com/product_...ml?p=01-170035 or https://www.peterwhitecycles.com/Accessories.asp#nob .

'Course, you could just learn to read the display sideways. 
Waitaminit, this gives me an idea. Since it's an LCD display, which (AFAIK) is just a matrix of "pixels", why aren't computers programmed to be able to display "portrait" or "landscape"? How hard could that be to program in?

My SI-90HR computer has a stem mount. I love it. Wireless, heart rate monitor, and all the cyclocomputer basics, and it is mounted on my stem to give me full use of my handlebars. Couldn't be happier with it so far.
