Decided I could make do with a cycle computer. I can have the Shimano flight deck, but dont see the point of having something tell you which gear you're in, when you can look down or generally feel or hear when its time to change. Its mainly to see speed and distance, not fussed bout cadence, count pedals over 15 seconds and multiply it by four, its average enough for me.
Any suggestoins would be great, and online places to purchase are also appreciated, cheers in advance.

Ignore the repated thread by the way, clicked on something I hadnt realised I had!

Sigma BC1600, probably the best one I've used, and I've used a fair few!

Cateye Astrel 8, has cadence but you don't have to use it. cheap and it works

I had a Sigma once and it never gave an exact reading. Over tens years of mountain biking and road cycling, I have always prefered Cateye. They just work and are available in most shops, handy if you need another mounting kit or spare bits. I'm currently using the Corless 7 on my road bike as it was a breeze to set up and I have got use to using cordless computers on my MTB.

Try Chain Reaction Cycles or Wiggle for mail order stuff.

Thanks alot folks, I'l try Wiggle although not heard good reports recently? Chain reaction seem pretty good, sourced a few MTB stuff on there.

The Cat eye cordless 7 is probably one of the most simple, functional and reliable computers ever, with everything you could ask for if you don't need cadence. I also have an Echo cordless - can't remember the model, from Mike Dyason, which is very similar but it has a flashing arrow to tell you whether or not you are riding above or below your average speed - which I find very handy. I've never had any problems with Wiggle, nor any other of the big names.

Excellent. Think I'l go for the cateye from wiggle or chain reaction. its payday in a couple of weeks so it'l be hopefully winging its way to me, I'l keep you posted on how it goes. By the way, will the cordless system fit on aero forks, or do you put it on the cahinstay? Also remembered that my spokes are flat, or aerodynamic as you will, will this make any problems mounting the magnet?

I use a cordless 7 at the moment, simple yet excellent bit of kit for the money(although am looking to upgrade for one with cadence). I have a Scott CR1 with "aero" shaped forks; it's not a problem as it can be mounted at the front of the fork. There's enough range of movement. As long as you can get the magnet to pass within 5mm of the sensor it will pick it up. This should still be possible with your spokes.

About three years ago I had a Specialized "team" computer which was fairly basic, ave speed, odometer, time and max speed but if it went anywhere a computer, shop cash register or anything computerised I remember the ave speed used to read something like 60.8 mph over a ride...if only it were true in real terms! and also the max speed read something stupid like 240.1 mph! Anyone else had this with any bike computer?

I use a SIGMA 1200 RDS easy to set up,cup of coffee or tea to drink while reading instructions recomended.I had a problem once 200 miles in to use__it stopped working!!.Got in touch with SIGMA sent,by instruction, back to factory,new one sent by return of post nae problem!!!
£25ish Ribble or Parker International I like them.

cateye mity 8 does a very good job of telling me how fast i am going...everywhere has the spares as well
