    I know I'm not totally accurate. My Rambouillet reads higher then the Legolas by .2 miles over a 40 mile ride. I don't care. It's close enough.

    Yeah, I'd rather have my yearly mileage total be off by .007%.

    That's funny that you all say it so easy. It took the REI guy an entire hour to install mine and, yes, he was solely dedicated to my bike at the time (not helping other customers or anything). He didn't even program the computer! He had to keep reading the manual and doing this and that. Luckily he didn't charge me (it's normally $15, even if the computer was bought at REI). You gals rock!

    By the way, I did all the computer settings myself and plan to do so again (setting the wheel size, etc., etc.). It's the actual install I am worried about - getting the little doo-hickys for the odometer and cadence readings in the right spot and without scratching up the frame! (one thing on the spoke, another on the fork, another on the crank, and another on chainstay). Programming the computer and setting that up on the handlbars is no biggie.

    Stopped by REI tonight and they gave me extra zip ties, so I'm set! Thanks for the suggestion.
