i know you can get all kinds of fancy little time clocks for bikes such as little ben and spot clock but to be hoenst there just more thing to get robbed.

Any way I found these on ebay and cut the wristband off, could do with some black cable ties but you get the idea and for 60p deliverd i dont really care if it falls off or gets robbed.

Believe it or not they've just started selling those over here,but they call them swimming watches. Don't know how good they are under water but for a good English shower they should be ok. I made this old thing up about 25 years ago and if it packs up I buy a cheap watch to replace it.

I use a cheapy £4 digital watch on my old enduro bike...it wraps around the cross bar pad & is easy to read. It's also useful because it has a stopwatch timer.

When i'm out on the Exup1000 I don't care what time it is as i'm too busy having fun...

I've just been down to town and I had a look at those swimming watches that joeboy has. Have a guess at the price they are going for here on Paxos??? joeboy paid 60p for his off ebay inc delivery.


Scroll down for price
























Euro 9.80 at todays rate of 0.83334 = £8.13. eek eek eek eek

There's no wonder the millionaires here are complaining.
