C'mon Peter, I watch my riding buddies whine about broken or
intermittent wire failures and trying to find the failure on
their "no disadvantage" wired bike computers. My Cordless II
has been going for about seven years now and has yet to give
me problems. Admittedly, though, there is an issue with low
temps and batteries that I don't encounter 'cuz I get off
the road at about 35 F.
So, if you want to hassle with installing the wires and
uglify up your ride and have to deal with repairing broken
wires and all the attendant difficulties of the wired
cyclocomputer, go ahead. For about $45 (or less) you can
find a Cateye Cordless II that will provide years of decent
service and it installs in about 3 minutes.
When I put a corded 'puter on my trainer bike for cadence
and speed from the rear wheel it took me the better part of
an afternoon winding wires around tubes, getting the length
right, yada, yada, yada.
So if you have the money (maybe $15 more than a decent
corded one) you will be much happier with how it looks, how
it installs, and performance is no different.
IMO.
