My bro bought me a Lidl wireless computer some years back which seemed to work well, even had a backlight at night, but it has finally succumbed to death by moisture.

I quite like the wireless option but it's not essential, just looking for a good, reliable inexpensive basic model that can take some weather. Whachoo got out theh?

One problem with wireless is that LED front lights of reasonable power can block the signal. I have a Catseye one with cadence & speed and it's useless when I have the (Euro-rated) light on. Now use the mobile for ride-logging.

The B'Twin ones from Decathlon are pretty good, I have the linked 8 function one but for £4 cheaper there is a 4 function one. Good mount too, it'll fit on either stem or bars.
