Regarding the discussion of the Cat-Eye cyclometers recently, I saw a
neat mounting job in a local bike store.  You have to buy a rear wheel
speedometer adaptor, which is a new mounting bracket for the handlebars
with an extra long wire to a sensor for the speed functions.  Bikecology
has it for $10.  You mount the sensor the chain stay as it used to be mounted
on the fork.  Then you take the wires of the speed sensor and that of the
cadence sensor, which is also on the chain stay, and wrap them around each
other.  If you start by wrapping the cadence sensor around the speed sensor
until the length have evened out, then wrap each around the other
simultaneously, you will do a better job.  Once the entire length of wire is
in a tight spiral, you can use a couple of cable ties to mount it beneath
the down tube and then mount the bracket on the bars.  The wires are almost
invisible, and the ties minimal, but the wires are held taut enough to stay
out of trouble.
