Just got my new ti bike and need a wireless computer with BIG, VISIBLE nombers so I don't have to bring my readers along(yet!). Any suggestions? Thanks

the only thing i can think of is to go to www.velotique.com. they have a bunch of computers and little pictures of the displays. the best option would likely be a one-line display-- multiple line displays can get pretty small, but as far as i know all the ones with the toys (meaning more functions) have multiple-line displays and therefore smaller numbers.

actually, come to think of it, velotique also has little stick-on bifocals for sticking on your sunglasses so you can read maps, etc. would that help? you could check out their section on sunglasses/prescripton compatable glasses anyway-- you might find something you could use instead. hope this helps! good luck.

Mogs2,

The Shimano FlightDeck has a wireless version, but I'm not sure if the display meets your criteria for big enough numbers. The main number displayed is pretty big, but the secondary display might require the readers.

Also, the FlightDeck is a little pricey.

OTOH, if you have FlightDeck compatible shifters, then you can work the controls without removing your hands from the brake hoods.

I have Specialized's wireless cycle computer... the Speedzone Elite, which is less expensive than the Flight Deck, but still has cadance, intervals, ATM, etc etc. I like it because the speedometer is always showing, in addition to whichever mode you have selected. I'm not sure how big the display needs to be, but I know my mom has the same comp. and normally can't read anything without her reading glasses.
good luck!

I just saw in a magazine the new topeak panoram v12 and it seems to have a pretty big display. :)
