    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

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