techie question....

If you are sure it is calibrated correctly, it sounds like your computer is not picking up all the miles. Maybe it is stopping and starting. If it is wireless, maybe there is some kind of radio interference (other electronic devices). Are you sure you have everything in miles and not kilometers?

If all else fails, I would recommend that you start all over. Remove the battery and zero out the whole thing. Reinstall the battery and reprogram the computer and see if that helps. My friend's computer (a cateye) was spazzing out on him. The mph would be erratic. It would jump from 13mph to 25mph for no reason at all. Resetting fixed it all.[/QUOTE]


I think this is what it is- it's not reading every revolution. I think I'll try this and see if it works... thanks!

Is it a 2 wheel option computer??....if yes- make sure you're computer isn't set for the second wheel. I had the same problem and checked the darn thing over Several times and yes the tire size was right and yes the time was right but the miles and speed were waaaaaaaaaaaay off. When I was checking it Again for the 100,00000,000000 time - I saw this 2 flashing at me and couldn't figure out what it was. After reading the instructions - I realized I had set my computer for a "2nd" wheel optiont that was who Knows what. Once I learned how to make sure the computer was registering wheel #1 (the Right wheel)....all my computer issues vanished!

Corsair -
That's a really good thought. I don't switch my computers between bikes, and I always make sure that both wheels (in the computer) are set to the same size - just in case I inadvertantly switch to the other wheel option.
