Hi, what is a good wireless mt. biking computer?

No such animal. They are all a waste of money.

I bought a 30 dollar one from supergo but the thing took a [censored] after about > two weeks (still had
good bateries).

You get whay you pay for.

One thing that sucked about it was finding a good position (have disk > brakes) on my fork.

Maybe that's because your bicycle was designed to be ridden, not adorned with copious amounts of
unneccessary electronic doodads.

Hey, I like "unnecessary electronic doodads" on my bike. I've been thinking about getting wider bars
to accommodate more of them. Between my night rider, HRM, GPS, and cycling computer there's not much
room left for my hands.

P.S. I'm being serious.

Why would disc brakes have anything to do with mounting a computer?

All five of mine, road an mountain, have the pickups mounted at the top of the fork. The magnet is
right next to a spoke nipple. My favorites are the Cateye Enduro 2.

The attached disk moves the sensor slightly further away from the magnet you attach to the spoke. I
had a hard time getting communication setup (between sensor and magnet).

I will check out that Cateye.

Put the sensor sideways, pointing forward, up near the arch. You can then point the sensor in
as needed to pick up the magnet. If the sensor gets knocked askew by branches, etc... the
forward motion of the magnet will realign it next time by. This works like a charm on road an
mountain bikes.

Lookie here ==> <http://www.bburke.com/AMB-disc-comp.jpg> for one way to do it.

Good call, I know where my sensor is being set up when I finally pull all the pieces of my new
bike together!

One more thing...

A dab or two of silicone "sealant" or glue will help to keep non-standard installations in place.
This stuff can be peeled off if necessary, but will not come off accidentally.
