Trip Comp Crashes

Starting a new thread from a post I made elsewhere:


I recently bought a cateye wireless and loved it-until last night. I was on a ride with some friends and we decided to have a bit of a race along a quiet rural stretch with a long gradual decent.

I was out in front and my speedo read 32mph and I was still excellerating. It then flashed 'error' three times and the display completely crapped out. Got home and there was no way around it- hard reset and all my odometer miles lost

Do cheaper ones have a speed limit above which they crash?

Depending on models you may be able to re-input your mileage...

32 miles Isn't that fast,so no it won't have a speed limit.

Precisely what I thought. I'd expect it to be able to cope. Just odd that it has worked flawlessly for the first couple hundred miles, must be mere coincidence.

I had a cateye wireless that was incredibly prone to resetting itself mid ride. Closer examination revealed that even a minor bump in the road caused the thing to reset itself - I sent my back and got an alternative brand - no problems since.

If you google it - you will see this is a common problem

The unwritten rule is that you have to go back and retrace your ride straight away
