Generally, I like my Sigma Sport computer. It is a small square pachkage with a very simple mount. As for the rear triangle... options with it would include building up the diameter of the seat stay (maybe?) of chainstay. Or get a Gino's mount, though you end up with a pokey-outy thing.
Another thing to consider is mounting it on the fork via a Gino's mount. That's what I do. It certainly gets it out of the cockpit. I feel a little bit the way you do. I rarely care about speed as a speedometer shows it, more often I care about time because, commuting, I use landmarks to determine how much time I need. Particularly because my commute involves riding to catch a train (so either I'm absolutely on time or i'm very late). And I too do maintenance by the odometer. Now, what I *really* want is a small cheap computer that would let me configure it so that it defaults to showing the time of day and trip distance, with an automatic reset of trip distance after a >30minute pause. But I expect that the interface for configuring such a thing would probably require an app on my iPhone. :) Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean On Apr 22, 12:50 am, Rex Kerr <rexk...@gmail.com> wrote: > Does anybody know of a source for a simple bicycle odometer that doesn't > include speed?
