Im sure you can get a pretty cheap one that probably tells you the speed and stuff.Can't be helped really.I don't have one that tells me howmany calories I used just the speed,distance and average speed and it has in the setup the measurement for 2 20 inch wheels.20x1.75 and 20x1 and three eighths.Im going to set one up out here on the bike I aquire.

The VDO Cseries wired are fairly cheap and go down to 20 inch wheels (just use a tape measure to get the circumference). The C1 is all you need.

Good point as I have balsed here and forgot the instructions.I have two cateye odometers here so I should be able to set at least one up.

Easiest way to measure wheel circumference is start with the valve at the bottom, roll one turn of the wheel, and measure how far along the ground it has travelled.

VDO A04 £12.00 that all you need.

I just put a long cloth tape measure round mine!

If you want to be accurate you should do this whilst you are sitting on the bike - your weight influences the tyre size!. Measuring the distance travelled is then slightly easier, providing you have a 2nd person as a spotter.

Cateye ones will certainly go down to 20" providing you remember the correct set of buttons to push to reset them. Or kept hold of the manual.

Anal I know, but you'll get a more accurate answer if you do 2,3,4 or 5 revolutions and divide the answer by 2,3,4 or 5 respectively. You'll need a longer bit of string/tape measure/driveway though!

I need Cateye Enduro 2 measurements because I forgot to bring the bleeding instructions here.Preferably for 26 inch wheels.I have got the bike yet so im not sure what the other measurement is cheers.

Failing that I will use the Cateye OS 1.0.
