Bell computer was fun for the one ride it lasted on Saturday. Come Monday, no registration of rotation. And then I noticed the base that the zip ties goes through had cracked. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my bar ends occasionally impacting the trail, or with the fact that I remove the handlebars for transport, undoing and re-doing the electrical tape holding the cable and sensor to the frame ;-)

So now I have two computers that need re-wiring and re-visioned bases.

Entire span of handlebar to the outsides of the bar ends is under 5" so things are tight (I prefer to go around the bars rather than over them) but mounting the little ding bell upside down cleared some space, now what I think I need to do is fashion something that goes between the bar ends and has the computer sheltered between them in their plane and the bell underneath with lever tab facing forward where I can get it with either fingertip. Also will probably give in and drill a tiny hole in the bar to permit internal routing of the cable.
