    The flashing light cobblers the computer up anyway! It becomes nothing more than a timer in winter.........

    Any suggestions for a wireless, non allergic to flashing LEDs type computer? No fancy functions needed.
    Faster than a tent.......

    Get one with a wire. Superior technology, innit?

    I've got to wait until christmas to see if the missus has bought me the speed/cadence sensor for my fr305 like I asked for or not. until then I only get to see how fast I went when I upload the file to daily mile :(

    My Smart lights interfere with the Cateye wireless, but this only seems to happen when the light batteries are running out and, even then, only when the Cateye is too close to the lights. So, I shifted the Cateye back down the stem, closer to the steerer. Seems to work.

    My cheapy, cheapy, cheap cheap one from Tescos is sensitive if placed next to the flashing light, but 4 or 5 inches separation is enough to stop the flashes registering

    Usually I forget, then when I seem to be going to fast/slow rolling along, set it during the first ride on the new tyres

    As do I but for the bike with 700x23 it was showing 2439mm and for the other bike with 700x25 it was showing 1934mm so both are well out.
