  1. Thanks in advance for your comments/opinions.

    I currently have several bikes and use Avocet computers on
    them all (acutally, I swap the unit from one to the next -
    all have mounting kits and magnets). Over the years, I have
    become unhappy with these units. Their availability and
    quality seems to have declined.

    So I am considering other models. Since I need multiple
    units, I want to stick to something simple and relatively
    low in price. I want to use a single, standard size
    battery, and I want average speed plus other basic
    functions. I want something that will last well and be
    reliable. No Avocet repeats!

    If you have experience with the Echowell brand of
    cyclometers (F7 especially) please let me know your opinion.

    Cheers,

    David

  2. David,

    I'm a strong endorser of Echowell, have been for years.
    Indeed, I've even converted some friends who are very
    finicky about all of their components. We've tried various
    Avocets and Cateyes but haven't liked various aspects of
    them nearly as much. I suggest the F2 model. Though the F7
    works as well, I recommend getting the cadence features.
