Of the WIRELESS computers, is there a good one that measures miles and speed (but not cadence)? Any recommendations? (-I do realize the wireless ones would be more expensive.)
Lisa,

I bought a cheap (~$25) wireless computer without cadence for my mountain bike from Performance. It's the dB4LW. Easy to set up, and it's been working great.

It has two separate screens. One shows current speed, average speed, distance, and time. The other screen shows your current speed, maximum speed, clock, and odometer.

It also works well with my Polar F6 Heartrate Monitor. I thought there might be interference issues, but thankfully that hasn't been the case.

BTW, I know you don't want a wire running to your back wheel, but they do offer the dB4LW-C for ~$30 at Performance. Worth checking out in case you decide having a wire there isn't so bad after all.
