If you don't, let me know. I'll take it for that price and make an easy $100 reselling it on eBay. They go for at least $250 there. But if you do that, wait until just before enduro season. The guys will be willing to pay more then.
Actually, if you don't buy it and I can get it, I will probably get it for my riding buddy.

The trail tech is good enough for me right now. It's inexpensive and hooks up easy and so far so good on operation. It's also easy to use. I'm not familiar with the other that your refering to. I'm in the try it then go all out deal right now. I'm going to try to be ready for the enduro in Sept. If I like it i'll probably look into some better equipment. But for now, I'm just riding for fun and trying out new things, and trying not to get maimed in the process.

Take the time to actually measure the distance your front tire rolls through several rotations. The more rotations you measure, the better. I usually roll mine at least 5 turns, then divide the total distance by 5 to get a single rotation "average". The instructions have a conversion formula for standard to metric, so you can use any tape measure you have handy. Do the rolling and measurements on a surface similar to what you ride on. If you do the measurements on concrete, you will have some error when you ride on dirt or sand.
Once you have done the calculations, write the number down on something you normally carry when you ride, like your registration, organ donor card etc. If you are like me, you also need to put your shoes and socks back on. Write down the input number in case you accidentally reset the computer to the default modes (I do this about once a year trying to reset something by memory)
If you take the trouble to do very accurate set up of the computer, it will be very accurate.
