Default help with cheap Cyclocomputers
hi Friends
I want to buy a cheap cyclocomp in Bangalore for some experimental purpose. Can anyone guide as to where can I get one?

It should be waterproof at the least. Preferably wired.

Please help

Thank You

How cheap?

Cheapest I know are at decathlon for about Rs.500. But I don't think they're waterproof. in fact I don't think you'll get anything anywhere near that price if it has to be waterproof.

yes around 500-700 will do
wanted to fit it to my Motorcycle to see the max speed, avg speed, time, etc which are readily displayed by the cyclocomputers unlike Motorcycle displays
Thank You

Thank You:-)
Actually I wanted one to fit it to my Motorcycle to know things like max speed, avg speed, time and time elapsed as an experiment
found one I liked. both DX and Ebay are quoting similar prices.
only mounting it will be a prob as the clip-on on my Bike doesn't have much space for anything else. will try to work a way around. also fitting the magnet to the mag wheel will be a hassle as the magnet holder has holes for spoke only. will try to work a way around that too

But are these 100% accurate?.
Was wondering how these 5$ things be more accurate than our 3k+digital meters...

don't know for sure man. but according to users from various sites, they do the job on Bicycles pretty accurately.
also my speedometer doesn't have displays for max speed, average speed, time,etc. so having one of these little gadgets will be a plus point at least for me
also the main function of these gadgets is to display the speed. so can compare its reading with the one on the main meter easily and know its accuracy.
also I want this $5 gadget for this experiment only and if it serves my purpose, I'll get a better one

sure...only it will take some time as I don't have a credit card
I'll get my friend's help and it'll take about 1month to complete.
