I've had a Topeak Panoram V10x wired computer for a long time now and I think it's great. So good, in fact, that I got Emily one for Christmas. Unfortunately the mount supplied with it attaches across the stem. This is fine for use on the mtb but if you want to use a handlebar bag (which you most likely will when touring) you won't be able to use this mount.

Now, here comes the solution! Topeak's TourGuide bags have a handy mount for their computers!

In my view, this is better than having your bar bag mount and a stand alone computer mount. Having your computer, bell, light, mirror and bar bag attached to your bar (particularly drop bars) could mean there's no room for you! Don't forget there are many bar extenders on the market such as this one from Topeak.
I have e-mailed Topeak's UK distributor Extra UK to confirm compatibility with the Panoram V10x and if I would need to purchase any extras in order to use the computer with the bag or if all the fittings were included with the bag but so far they have not replied. When they do reply, I'll update the blog with their response.
