There was that type, and there was the Huret Multito: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3087/3223761637_9c5a025f71.jpg
Slightly more refined, it used a tiny belt and pulley. Reflecting the analog nature of the machine, the only way to fine-tune its accuracy was to wrap a piece of sandpaper around a nail and slightly reduce the diameter of the pulley on the device itself. This had to be done to use with 700C wheels, since the Multito came out of the box set up to more or less accurately record mileage with 27-inch wheels. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com campyonlyguy.blogspot.com On Oct 29, 2012, at 9:54 AM, Leslie <leslie.bri...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've not looked for one, but on my dad's old Nishiki roadbike from the > mid-70's, he had an odometer mounted down just above the fork's drop-out.
