I can't seem to find any info about bike computer compatibility with the Felt Z85. More specifically I am looking at this computer

Does anyone know where I can find this info?
Thanks.

Apparently that computer is horrible and the only thing it does correctly is keep time, but otherwise I'd still be interested in what is compatible.

What do you mean by "compatible"? Get a computer, strap it on and go -- unless the Z85 has special pickups or something that demand a certain type or model of computer. A quick scan of Felt's site doesn't say anything about that, though.

if you're looking at $30 computers, get a Cateye Strada...if you can spend $60, get a Cateye Strada Wireless. or any of the dozens of other computers out there that actually work. you're looking at a completely normal road bike, any computer will work.

+1 good choice.

Well, let me rephrase my question then. What are these "Flightdeck compatible" forks? It seems you can mount the wireless senors in them.

Flightdeck is a shimano specific computer. I can't comment on the computer specifically as I don't know anyone that uses it.

Personally, I use cateye strada wireless on all my bikes as it's simple and gets the job done. If garmin ever makes a product that is inexpensive and fairly reliable, I might change over. Most guys I ride with use cateye as well.

You generally have to have Shimano STI shifters that are "Flightdeck compatable" Trek has a frame that sensors can be mounted in them, but I am pretty sure that is for the Trek computer. I don't think you'll have a problem with Flightdeck if you have the right shifters.

I made a mistake. I emant to say 'Speedtrap' compatible

I think that only works with Trek bikes. It's a rather ingenious design because it protects the sensor.
