    Wireless speedometers have no business being on a mountain bike. The
    first hard drop you take that sucker will be toast. Even wired units
    are a PIA. I go through 5 or 6 a year.

    Huh, I've bent brake levers, rotors, and wheels, torn off deraillures
    and shifters, and ripped up various saddles, and I still have the same
    bike computer (on its second bike) for 6 years now.
    The only problem I've had is when it seems to register only half the
    miles I've felt like I've ridden 🙂

    Must be an overall design flaw in bike computers as mine does that, too.

    No, it's because you forgot to adjust the "I'm old but I can still
    handle those youngsters"-setting of your computer. It's now set to 1,
    but should be changed to 2 :-) Then you'll notice that the reading
    matches the body soreness again :-)
