Intergrated Cycling computer

[TOM879]

Hey everyone , i just had a qeustion about something. Why aren't bike computers integrated? I know it would be hard with integrated cables but still why hasn't some bihg company tried wouldn't it be more aero? I tried something in 3D and it looked fine ofcourse it isn't perfect but ik looks possible.

Most people find that typical lollipop design that clamps to bars or has integrated mounting screws on carbon cockpits give you incredible flexibility for sizes,brands and crash replacement. unsure of the aerodynamic profile of most head end units but most are more narrow than handlebar width so wattage saved because of a chubby or slender bike computer probably difficult to measure for most riders..I guess you could do informal test, ride 100k with mounted computer and then same 100k without a computer and see if any time was saved. My Wahoo only weighs a few grams.

That will never work. Over 100k, how your legs feel and the conditions on the day swamp any negligible benefit from the aerodynamics or weight of a cycling computer.
