UB777, the speedo I am using is one I stole off my sons mountain bike! he doesn't ride it much anymore. It is a CATEYE Tomo XC. It must be 4 years old by now so may not be available any more - there's bound to be similar around. The plusses: it's cheap, small, light, has a clock, displays speed, av speed, max speed, trip distance, odo, time moving, uses the stock front caliper pickup. The minusses: the numbers are really too small to read when you are riding, it doesn't have a minute counter (enduro type counter).

The "Sigma" branded pushbike speedos are also quite good. The last two bikes I've had I've used these on. Bonus is that they have an hour meter in them which is probably a lot more useful on a dirt bike for servicing than an odometer. The numbers on the unit I use are big enough to read while riding.
EDIT - hour meter is just like bchatt has described on his - it's time moving which equates to an hourmeter for a dirt bike.

All,

Thank you for the information, I will have to look into what is available in the US, and I assume that they can be calibrated to be accurate on a MC application.

Yep, in the set up there will be a place where you enter the wheel circumference. I can't remember exactly what is for a 21" front, but I know it did easily fit within the available parameters. Mine seems reasonably accurate.
