Maximum speed

But I was surprised I needed to change it so early. I only had 500 miles recorded and it was a little over a month old.

I find that I have to change the batteries on my bike computer far more often than predicted by the manufacturer (cateye). Next time I will get them from a different source. I've been getting them at Radio Shack and alas I don't think their batteries are fresh--at least not the ones of the type I need. Perhaps I can mention Lance's name at the shop and get fresher batteries.

"I was having the same problems and turned out all I needed to do was change out the battery. But it lost all of my miles I've logged on the odometer. But I was surprised I needed to change it so early. I only had 500 miles recorded and it was a little over a month old."

I've noticed several of my electronic gadgets for fitness never have very long battery life. My Garmin was the worst. I had it for maybe 3 months and it started acting up and I had to put new batteries in the watch AND the foot pod.

I have a wireless computer on my commuter and have discovered that the magnetic field from my battery for my light will may my computer wig out. It does the same thing, says I'm going 50 or 80 or something crazy like that It's kinda funny since I'm usually loaded to the max on my hybrid. Oh I can entertain the though anyways

yeh, I had one go bananas while I was installing it. I sort of wanted to keep the max speed on it - 180 km/h, and just offhandedly let it show sometime to a fellow biker.
