Which Computer for my Giant Defy 2?

Hi All

Just got my new Giant Defy 2 (2010) on Saturday went to install my Cateye Enduro 8 Computer on it but the Sensor is too large to fit on the forks without getting wiped out by the spokes.

Which would you recommend for my bike? I was looking at the Knog N.E.R.D. 12 Function Wireless Cycle Computer, but is it any good and will clearance be an issue with the forks.

I'm not worried about Heart Rate, or cadence, just how far I've gone and how long it took me.

Ideally my budget is no more than £50

Thanks in advance

Strada wireless for £35? The sensor will definitely fit.

+1 for Cateye Strada wireless. Ribble were doing them quite cheaply.

My cateye sensor (Velo 8 I think) is too big to fit on the inside of the spokes but looking more closely at the instructions it said you could fit it on the front edge of the spokes 'looking' inwards towards the spokes.

You can just about see this on the following http://hooperdave.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/trek-1024.jpg

It came with them. Are they not the done thing or something? I'm a bit new to all this...

I'm just kidding, but when I got my first road bike I looked at it back home and thought - this doesn't look right. Once I had taken the reflectors and the bell (!) off it looked much better.
