Cycle Computer Advice
Discussion
Slightly odd one this, I'm looking for a cycle computer which will not lose the total number of miles covered every time the batteries are changed. Does such a thing exist?
I have GPS tracking on my phone which will do all the fancy stuff when I am on a proper ride, but I'd like to be able to keep a record of the total number of miles I've ever covered on my new bike (once I get it). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You will lose the totals.
But most will let you enter your total distance covered when you change battery so you can start where you left off, the only thing that will reset is the averages etc and teh trips, the overall is the one you can change.
niterider rebel 2.0 is the one I have. Like I said, upon loading it up with a new battery it will ask you to enter your 'odo' overall distance, then set the time etc, so you just build on it.

That's handy to know, I could cope with re-entering it (assuming I remember to look at it often enough to know what it was before the batteries went!)But most will let you enter your total distance covered when you change battery so you can start where you left off, the only thing that will reset is the averages etc and teh trips, the overall is the one you can change.
Any you can name which definitely do this?
I have a Cateye Cordless Wireless on one of my bikes which is still on its original battery. It is over 15 years old! So I wouldn't worry too much.
Interestingly I bought a new cordless model for another bike last week, paid around the same as I did all those years ago. The much newer model is a lot more cheaply finished. Progress? Nope.

That's a lot longer than the batteries in my old one used to last, I seem to remember changing them about every 6 months!Interestingly I bought a new cordless model for another bike last week, paid around the same as I did all those years ago.

But allowing for 15 years' worth of inflation, assuming you spent, say, £30 in 1995 you'd need to be spending more like £45 today to make a fair comparison.
