Ditto...except replace the 205 with an Oregon.Whyte 905 (2009)
Trek 1.5 (2009)
Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp (2007)0 -
I used to, but after I lost my last one I never bothered replacing it.
Keep meaning to get another one, but it's not exactly top of my list of things to do.0 -
Knog nerd is perfect. All the info and very robust.
I can exchange it between my MTB and road bike in seconds with no cable ties..
If you need more info, your into heart monitors ect..
Then your really serious and may need some serious cash to get accurate results.
I'm not a pro so only need basic info.0 -

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Catey ... 2725/#more What do you guys think fo this one then? Don't really need GPS or HR so it seems to fit the bill. Any other suggestions?
oe http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Polar ... 360027225/ with HRWhyte 9050 -
I would say the cateye, not used polar stuff though, but, would'nt a lower spec CPU fit the bill? if you're not after the HR etc save a few pennies?0

Sure, suggestions welcome! I have no bias towards any so if you can recommend anything. All i want is something small that i can mount on the stem and that is wireless.Whyte 9050 -
Too heavy and mess the aerodynamics up.0

I u I like to know how many miles I've use a budget wireless Cateye speedo at the minute. I like to know how many miles I've done, but for some reason I'm thinking of ditching it- guess its because I don't really need it TBH.0

Surely it's a pain to keep changing the wheel/tyre size? It would be on my Cateye. I think I'd have to zero it and input the total miles as well.0 -
Nicht!
I've got one on my road bike, and I find myself getting obsessed with avg spd and times. My MTB is for pure enjoyment, don't wanna spoil that.The brave might not live forever, but the cautious don't live at all.0 -
Garmin 705, swap it between bikes. keeps a tally of all my biking although the real reason I bought it (mapping, following pre laid out routes) it's fallen short functionally. Currently there seems to be nothing much better with local (Benelux) map coverage and I have the Garmin topo maps for the area so awaiting a better unit from GarminEverything in moderation ... except beer
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day0 -
I use a cateye velo 5, and sometimes track things on my iPhone, but that stays firmly in my backpack, in a waterproof case until I get home to look at the route. The velo 5 survived a full washing cycle and tumbledry which I was impressed with.0

My Cateye has got "Bike 1" and "Bike 2" settings. So you set bike 1 as the MTB, bike 2 as the road bike and switch to whichever one you need when you move it over.
I don't know if the Knog has this. Also, I've only got one bike so don't use it!0 -
This sits nice and neat on my stem
