Anyone here using cycle computer on their adv bike?

Yes .

I saw one of these on a fellow KB'ers biker last night - great looking unit.
not sure how much they cost though

as for plain ol cheap push bike ones.. yes - can extend wires (I can help if needed - and if your near wellington) - and no i dont know which ones go up to high speeds. but some may say they use a hall effect pickup rather than a reed switch (cheep - cant go fast) type.

Hmm, live in Wanaka ... got a soldering iron and a wife tho so we should be good to go.

This caught my eye, wireless up to 1 m which would be plenty to the disc area pickup.

Goes -99.9 (not sure how than works) to plus 99.9 so if speedo not reading then I am speeding easy!!

I've been using them for years on my bikes. Calibrated to the diameter of whatever wheel you use they are surprisingly accurate. After the mufti car pulled me over and told me i had hit 136km/hr i checked and found the bicycle computer had registered a top speed of 138. I currently use a Cateye Strada (because you don't need a degree in computing to set the thing up) and have extended the cable with some stereo speaker wire i had lying around and then covered it with some of that shrinkage stuff.
Just a hint about the install i now use a rare earth magnet superglued to the disc carrier. Which makes them almost impossible to remove.

Hey Andi,
I have supermoto'ed by DRZ400 with RGV250 wheels and use a BBB cycle computer which are available at most chch cycle shops. It works great and goes up to 200kmph (I have had it up to 152kmph at Ruapuna), very easy to install and was only $35.
The wire is not long enough to reach the brake disk so I glued magnet to rim which works fine, then just cable tied cable to brake line, jobs done!
