Cateye Strata Cadence Computer

[Catrin]

This just happened with my Trek Incite11i computer. The cadence worked but the MPH did not. I took it to my LBS and they determined it was the wiring. I got my computer in 2008 and there was a 2-year warranty so my LBS replaced the computer with a similar one since they didn't have a spare wiring harness in stock.

Edited to say...since you've only gone 600 miles, I'm sure there's some kind of warranty involved. Did you get it at your LBS?

I fixed it

It finally dawned on my that I gave the Wanderer a really good bath and polish after my ride Sunday, and last night was my first ride since then. I am actually surprised the cadence was working because the sensor unit on the chain stay had really been shifted out of position.

So I can't blame this on Cateye or my former LBS (there are reasons why I don't go there any more for anything other than bike accessories that I can't get elsewhere - I won't allow them to touch any of my bikes again).

I think I know what is wrong with the computer on the Trek as well. I noticed last night that when they installed the computer on my LHT that they inserted a few layers of something between the sensor and chain stay - no doubt to get the sensor in proper distance from the magnet(?) on the spoke. This is not present on my Trek so it may simply be a matter of spacing. I will check it out before subjecting Stella to my original LBS.
