I got a Cateye mity, and I am very happy with it so far. I fell on it twice though,
but I consider the engineering pretty good.The part that attaches to the wheel/fork
is very solid, I just found the computer part a bit fragile, since you can get
the wire stuck and pull on it by inadvertance...I got on it current speed, max speed
daily distance, total distance, pedaling time, and clock. I don't think you'll need
the heart monitor or the altimeter. Even average speed is useless for our kind
of mountain biking, since we do a lot of technical work, vs speed/distance...
don't spend too much on an item you'll probably have to repair...

good luck

andre, former HP'er
