I've tried the cheaper ones. They're crap.
Quite simply, you get what you pay for.
On a bike you need a marine one. A bike is almost like a ship on high waves and it will be the only kind which is worth using.
Most compasses require to be on a flat, level surface to track properly. No use on a bike unless you want to stop every time to see which way you're really going.
Get a good one or just don't bother. Maybe a second hand one on ebay ??
