403.0. "Looking for speedo" by EPOCH::JOHNSON (Whoever dies with the most toys, wins.) Mon Jul 27 1987 12:08

    I'm interested in one of the electronic speedometers.  The best price I
    have seen is for one that tracks speed, trip mileage, and total mileage
    with four magnets (vs. just 1) at Cycle Center in Natick for about $25.
    
    I'd appreciate hearing about better prices if there are any.
    
    Thanks,
    Pete

403.1How about Cateye?NAC::CAMPBELLMon Jul 27 1987 13:3610
    
    Why do you need 4 magnets to track speed, trip mileage, and total
    mileage???? Wouldn't one be all that is necessary???  
    
    I've got an Avocet and I'm pleased with it! 1 magnet!!!!!
    The Cateye Micro looks like a good deal though... You get more than
    just the 3....

403.2Search for "Cateye"AMUN::CRITZYa know what I mean, VernMon Jul 27 1987 13:3814
    	RE: 403.0
    
    	There are numerous notes and replys dealing with bike computers/
    	speedos.
    
    	You could do a seach for such things as "Cateye" or "Avocet"
    	or "computer". Something like:
    
    		SEARCH/NOTE=1.*-*.* "Cateye"
    
    	While I'm here; I rode my first century Saturday, 16 days before
    	I turn 40. What a thrill. Hope there are many more.

403.3Cheap stuff at K-martCOLORS::WASSERJohn A. WasserMon Jul 27 1987 14:336

	You can get one at your local K-mart for about $19.95.  It
	has a wheel that rides on the tire instead of magnets near
	the hub.  It provides speed and probably a trip odometer.
