my first bike computer and not a mad cyclist just commute and use for fitness but just wanted summin to record distance so bought this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.a ... 20Computer
when i was getting some bits from wiggle, but it seems to only record upto about 11mph then just drops, have seen other models with this problem, is it worth just sending it back and spending a little bit more on a decent one, any recomendations, not got a load of money

thanks

ps it always seems to only work going uphill, and has recorded top speed at 12mph but have definitely gone faster lol

  • I have exactly the same problem. It zero's aabove 10mph! very frustrating - haven't yet found the reason. Sent my first one back to Wiggle but the replacement does the same.

    Hmmmm. Wiggle are now listing it as NLA, so maybe they've been withdrawn?h

  • Send it back they are CR@P, I bought one around Christmas time, first one the speed transmitter/sensor didn't work, then the replacement, the HR bit didn't work, I sent it back and got my money and my postage refunded.
