I'm looking for a cyclocomputer that will work on both my road bike (Fuji Ace) and my MTB (another Fuji). Since they obviously have different tire sizes I need to get one that will accomodate both wheel sizes and prefferably have two seperate odometers. I noticed that Nashbar has one, but after reading the reviews on it, I think I will steer clear of this one. I'm sure there are several other ones out there that will do this but I'd really like some input from anybody who has used a similar setup. Thanks
The Planet Bike Protege 8.0 has inputs for two separate bikes and different wheel sizes. It will record each bikes mileage and accumulate total mileage and compare average speeds of each. It's a good buttonless design. I like planet bikes stuff.

Dear Landotter,>>
The Sigma BC1106 price is even lower than you think:>>

Dear Landotter,
Sorry, I should have mentioned that you have to go to the end of the listings to see the wireless version--they're about $31-$33, not as cheap as the wired version, but still a happy discount from your expected $50.

Echoing Carl Fogel's suggestion here. My (wired) Schwinn 1-button cheapie ( <$10 ) accommodates two bikes. Separate wheel settings, odo and trip odos, ride times, max speeds ... everything. Even has "TOdo" (total odometer = odo1 + odo2) which is handy in the case of one rider, two bikes.
The 1-button model might not be available any longer; haven't see it in stores for a year or two. The only Schwinns I've seen in the mean time were a 2-button cyclo and something else ... some kind of calories burned thingie, IIRC.
