I haven't tried it myself but it looks promising.

Not bad for under 7 bucks! I think it only comes in metric, though, doesn't it? (kms, not miles) Looks like a good deal if it works, though!

It says K/M or M/H.

beware the dreaded cdi/vibration interference. people commonly experience problems with the digital speedos, but there are lots of solutions around too.

I've never had an issue with a digital speedo on any of my builds. Guess I've just been lucky with that. I use the common schwinn digital wired speedos found at wallyworld.

I know a guy who had problems with his CDI causing interferance with his digital speedo. I don't remember what brand it was. He ended up switching to a traditional mechanical one.

The digital speedometers seem to work for some bikes, but not for others. If you do get one to work, & it isn't accurate, go back to the directions & change the setting for tire sizes. No matter what size tire you actually have, keep re-setting it til you get it to be more accurate. If you know someone who has a GPS, it is a snap. A " Cyclops " wireless [ $20 on sale at Performance Bicycles ] works on mine.
