I think I have soved my problem with my Flight Deck!!!!!

I never have that problem with my Flightdeck because my hands are not so far forward on the hoods. I tried riding with my hands placed in a position where I'm close to the buttons and it's terribly uncomfortable.

Hi big_h,

Great idea!

I installed my new Flight Deck bike computer last Saturday and I love it, except for one very annoying detail. I keep hitting the start/stop button which causes me to lose trip data - very irritating !!

I have been on 3 rides with the Flight Deck, and each time, I stop the Trip functions and lose trip data. This happens usually when climbing out of the saddle while I grip the STI hoods - exactly as you describe.

I was hoping that there was a user mode which allowed the trip data to start automatically when the wheels were turning (start/stop disabled, except for the lap function) but it looks like that is not the case.

As an alternative, I was going to insert a cap inside the hood, preventing me from hitting the button. Of course, I need to remove and re-insert the cap to start/stop the computer on each ride - not very pleasant :-(

Your idea of an O-ring sounds like the best alternative. I will give it a try.

Thanks for sharing your ideas!!! :-)

I joined this Forum today in the hopes of finding an answer to this problem.

Your thumbs are too big. 😉

I've never accidently hit the buttons. Maybe you could try keeping your index finger on the brake lever. It would keep your hand far enough to avoid the button.

BTW, I really like the FlightDeck. Coming from an hybrid with gear indicators on the shifters, I can't imagine riding without knowing which gear I'm in.
