Under £50? Being able to see isn't particularly the issue, more I would prefer a smaller "tamagotchi" sized unit. Not really up for riding around with a tablet.

Hmm, I don't want it to seem like...

Hi All,
I'm looking for a good cycling computer. I'm not sure what the proper terms are these days with all of the smart gear. But I'm talking about the old school type, where you have a magnet on...

Well this is all very interesting! Like I said, I checked about putting bigger rotors on, but as the fork didn't say it would take it, then googling the fork said it would be a duffer and I chickened...

Thanks everyone for your replies, I think the rigid fork idea is a good one, but you're probably right, I'll probably end up with a suspension fork, because it's what I'm used to. I've been looking...

I think I can lock the suspension. I think. I've never actually tried it. There's a fairly generic track nearby, which I could test it on. That's a nice idea, I'll get out the manual and see how I do...

Oh man, don't be like that, my only other bike is 34!

I'll be honest, I've never been tempted by a "newer" model. I find my trek does everything I need it too, so I'm just trying to safeguard it....

I mean, why as for the opinion if you've already done so much research?

You're just asking a group of people what they think it's worth. Don't be mad if they don't value it as highly as you do.
