Computer Hints

Muskie

I have a hardtail with front suspension. I just got a new
bike computer and I was wondering if anyone has any hints on
mounting the thing. Of course, I have left what I deem is
sufficient slack in the wire to allow for turning of the
front wheel and suspension travel. Is there anything that I
should know that I might not have thought of? I'm sure some
of you have crappy computer wire experiences. The thought of
anything loose scares me (especially when it's attached to
an electronic component).

Route the wire up the BACK side of the fork, so it doesn't
het ripped off by brush, Other than that, be prepared to
lose it occasionally ;-)

Once it leaves the fork, I loosely wrap mine around
the front brake cable/hose so the wire doesn't have to
hang slack.

Cateye Enduro 2's have a nifty plastic spiral thing
that allows you to run the computer cable up a brake
cable and keep it tight so it doesn't snag on branches,
etc. I'd explain it more but my brain is already
leaking from one ear..

Take it out to dinner, buy it flowers, and get it nice
and drunk...

Make sure you wiretie the cable coming out of the computer
to the handlebars. With 7 computers in use it makes a
difference.
