I've used the cheap bike computers like you can find at Walmart or most sporting goods stores. If you want real time speed data, and usually they include an odometer as well. As long as you plug in the correct numbers to match the tire diameter I've found them to be accurate. I can track my rides, heart rate, etc on my phone or watch, so no point in spending for a fancy bike computer just to see real time speed data imo.

They used to make adapters to mount your watch on your handlebar so you could see it easily.
Or you could cut a piece of foam pipe insulation to go around your bar then the watch goes around that. Pretty much what the adapter I remember was/is.

Great recommendation! One of the important stats I want to track is my heart rate, I my case, putting my watch on the handlebars isn't practical. Also, for some reason, the watch is locking up on my rides and losing ride data. So, I think my solution here is to get a Garmin 130+ computer. It is one of the least expensive Garmin bike computers, but serve my needs. It will use the watch as another data source, and send all of the ride data to the Garmin app. So, we'll see how this works out.

That's awesome. I've heard a lot of good things about Elite Wheels. There's a bunch of threads and solid reviews on MTBR.com; they are a huge value proposition for carbon rims. I'm curious on their hubs too, 320 poe is huge.

I heard the hubs are a DT Swiss copy. Got a few tires in mind but I have a lil time to decide until the wheels arrive.
