What clock do you use on the bike (to tell the time)
 
I have been looking at getting one.

There seem to be only 2 Options :


1.) Oxford Stick it on Clock ~ £10 delivered


2.) Motrax Little Ben ~20£ delivered


I've been looking at some small digital clocks for around £2. But they are all not water resistant.


They both seem a bit dear to me. Any other options/recommendations ?

Get a cheap watch, strap it round the bars.

Cheap watch seems the ideal solution, and you can strap it round the yoke if you prefer.

Yep, I did that, had a £20 timex that I bought years ago. I still have the watch (but not the bike)...

good idea.

I have about 10 water resistant watches lying around in the loft somewhere.
Just a matter of finding them now :lol:

I have a Little Ben on my SV, it was a gift. A weatherproof alternative - buy a £5 Halfords cycle 'computer' and junk the pickup, just use it for the clock. No nightlight on it, but neither does your £20 Little Ben (not luminous either AFAIK)!

Some chav might nick it and I wouldn't be inclined to do anything that would encourage chavs to touch my bike.

(unless you use a watch so embarassing that no chav would touch it)

I like the Little Ben... Nice looking and easy to read. But a cheapo digi watch makes as much sense.

Buy a pointy sv instead :twisted:

Finally a point the curvey people cant argue :) :)

So does that make the pointy one offically better then?

Cheapest possible waterproof watch. Get analogue cos LCD sometimes dies after a few nights of frost. Sometimes it's cheaper to get a new one than change the battery! No backlight for sure, but does it matter that much?
