Cycle Computer - Auto Reset Trip Distance after 24hrs?
I miss my 15yr old cheap Schwinn bike computer. It died in a crash a couple of years ago. I haven't found one I like since. The feature I miss most is that it auto reset my Trip stats after 24hrs. Is there a cycle computer on the market that does this today?
The feature worked great for workout routines that involved a number of loops. I phase out and forget how many times I've gone around a simple check of the trip distance fixed the problem, but I really hate having to remember to reset the trip stats every ride.
thanks

I don't know of one. It's not a bad idea.

Pretty much all the computers I'm familiar with, at least those that sync to phones, will provide a "trip" distance, making a "reset" unnecessary. But I suspect you know this and it's not quite what you mean.

That's an interesting idea, I'd be interested in it myself, but I just don't know of a speedometer that I've used that does it.

I'm thankful I still had the "dead" Schwinn bike computer. Turns out the problem was the cable to the sensor was broken somewhere. I cut a working sensor/mount up by the mount and soldered and heat-shrinked the old mount on to a new cable/sensor. Works great. Now I have the feature I most care about back.
