How old is your cycle computer?

[gbb]

Mines about 6 or 7 years old and still going strong. Brought from Tescos..i only wanted a basic one.
Brought one of those HRM/computers from Aldi's about 4 years ago...it was prone to the damp and looked ugly. It's languishing in the bottom of my bike bit box now. Don't know why i havent thrown it away...

2 Cateye Vectra's - 17/18 years old - work fine. Can stop in torrential rain, but that's the water getting between the contacts and the mount. A quick puff sorts them out.

Newest is the Cateye Double Wireless - 3 months old.

I've got a couple of Cat Eye Mity 2s from 1995. Still going strong.

Have 4 in the garage from my various bikes (ranging from 20 yrs old to 5 yrs), but none used for past 3 yrs.

My VDO HC 12.6 is still going strong after 6 years, and long may it continue. Not sure it will make it to 17 though...

Must be the same ones as mine Fossy.

How does that work out or do you and Fossy ride a tandem

In my bucket of spares I still have a Lucas mechanical mileometer. It is metal and mounts under the front wheel nut. On one end is a star shaped plate which is hit by a small stud attached to a wheel spoke. Each strike on the star revolves it and operates the counting mechanism. My one is made for a 27 inch wheel. You quickly became used to the little tick the striker made as it hit the star each revolution of the wheel.

Here is a picture for anyone too young to remember:
