computer with a backlight ?

topdude

Hi, anyone know of a relatively simple (inexpensive) bike computer with a backlight ?
I am thinking of something where you would press a button to get a short time light.
Thanks.

I thought cateye did one...?

Some Sigma computers do come with them and IIRC you can buy a Sigma light to mount over your computer.

Thanks, looks like Cateye Micro Wireless is the one, i'm surprised a backlight is such a rare feature ?

Just spend a little more and get a garmin 200.

I might be selling a white Cateye Micro if interested?

I have used the micro wireless in the past. Unless it has changed, the backlight is like a cheap digital watch - a little led at the side. It is okay, but not brilliant.

Good little computer though.

Word of warning.

If you plan to use it at night (and by the request for a backlight, I assume you are), the wireless computers can be affected by various led lights. I used one with an ixon iq a few years ago, and it made the computer go wild.

So the micro wireless may not be your best option.

The Boardman computer has a decent back light.

I didn't tend to cycle in unlit areas (Glasgow) so didn't really try the backlight out.

Drop me a PM or email if you are interested in the Micro, otherwise will probably stick it up in the Classifieds shortly.
