I use the Dell 100 bicycle speedo.... you can set wheel size (I leave it at the 2124)... you can set it for Km or Miles per hour. It has a clock, two trip meters, odo and a couple other things I don't use

Cheap too, like $12 and easy to install... guess i'll make a video or take a couple of pics, I used a bigger magnet than came with it and glued it to the rim, put the pickup on the right side fork... it works very well.

+1, Old Rider (I am, too!) I did the same thing with the same $12 Bell bicycle computer (from Walmart) over a year ago, has been a a true blessing ever since. One thing, tho - right after I installed it, a big bug nailed it. No damage, but it came loose in the mount and zeroed the settings. Now it hides behind a tool bag. No more worries, but since it doesn't have a backlight, it's not much help at night.

I have an Android phone (Moto X to be specific). An app named https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.binarytoys.speedometer&hl=en is fantastic for many things including the trip odo.

I took a black 1" handlebar mountain biking phone mount and put it on the cycle and it holds the phone flawlessly and without vibration. I also installed a usb charger wired to the battery next to the mount and it douubles as a gps. The beauty of the Speedo app is that it syncs with google maps gps, and the important things like total mileage, trip odo, speed, etc can all be programmed to show up inside the gps app.

The "crashlight" is an add-on to alert 3 people you choose that you just went down on your bike.

I have modified the bracket to this speedometer gauge so that it fits Savage petrol tank (follow the tank shape) then welded in 3 new bolts to lock gauge to the fuel tank. Need a longer speedometer wire when the original is too short.

I just stuck a stack of small neodymium magnets to the inside of the wheel. They're not even glued. The magnetic attraction just holds it to the wheel. They've been that way since ~June/July of last year with no problems.
