[RBW] Re: A very cool, riv-ish bike computer/bell
Boy, if it could mount on the fork, didn't have to deal with a wireless sensor, omitted the bell it might be just about right. IF, I were to ever go the bike computer on the bike route again, I'd long for the equivalent of the ol' Sachs Huret belt drive unit that I had when I was a kid.

Can you tell us what the failure mode of your ex-computers were? I have a bunch of wired and wired computers and other than battery changes, they had outlasted the inevitable match of technology (to GPS, etc). I still have at least 2 sets of Cateye wireless Stradas and 2 sets of wired Mity IIs (from the 90's).

Does anyone know if these things are actually for sale? If so, where?

Thumbs up - I think that looks great and I would be in provided it is not 1 million dollars that is.

[RBW] Re: A very cool, riv-ish bike computer/bell
I have to admit, I'd consider one of these. Looks much better than the current crop, and I kind of miss my computer (but don't want to mount one of the Riv). This looks like it's purely conceptual though. On Sunday, June 17, 2012 5:44:51 PM UTC-4, ekoral wrote: > i thought if anyone would appreciate this new concept computer, it would > be you guys.

Re: [RBW] Re: A very cool, riv-ish bike computer/bell
I think if i get 2 years out of a speedo at a cost of 60 bucks I have gotten my money's worth, I wouldnt spend more than that on some fancy cadence setup which I know are out there. It is just one of those things that wears out I find, like tires and handlebar wrap. I think that too often we think things should last "forever" when they take alot of abuse. Not that something should be total crap but there should be a reasonable level of wear that I have come to accept out of some things on a bike.

[RBW] Re: A very cool, riv-ish bike computer/bell
My biggest beef with bike computers over the years has been their durability. I hate to think how many I have owned and discarded in less than two years. This one looks nice, but does it really have the ruggedness that is needed?

I hope the head unit is rechargeable and has a big battery. Analog displays are cool and all, but they're energy hogs, especially for dials and counters. And I'm not any the electronic bell can simulate my Japanese brass bell well enough.
