Identifying a cycle computer

Rodders said:

Can anyone identify this cycle computer and where I would get
instructions
from. This is the exact same computer that I have on my bike (bought
it
second hand) but have no instructions for it. The only markings on it
is "computer club". I tried googling this but didn't have much luck.

I remember seeing that one in a Cycling Plus review and on the shelves at
Wilkinson's. I'll try and find out the make & model if no-one else helps
first. I think the brand just is "Club".

What instructions do you need? Note that wheel settings aren't specific
to the computer.

Hi Pete, I would like to make sure that the setting for the wheel size is
correct. Can you expand on what you mean by "wheel settings aren't specific
to the computer."
Also there are a couple of screens that I am not sure of what is being
displayed.

Wheel setting for nearly all modern computers is the tyre circumference in
mm or cm, not some special code. I mean you don't need the instructions
to your sepecific computer to get this information. Just get it from
another manual or the internet (eg. www.sheldonbrown.com), or measure by
riding forwards one wheel revolution.

Any clues? Any words or abbreviations that are displayed with the
numbers?

Removing and replacing the battery will probably reset the computer to
its factory defaults. The time will probably read '12:00'. Many
computers have a default wheel size setting for a 26" MTB, which will
probably read something like 204(0) representing the circumference in
cm/mm.

ODO means total distance registered by computer.

Thanks Helen,

I found this handy site which gives the various diameters and circumferences
of wheels

It was reviewed in April 2001 Cycling Plus magazine (rating: 8/10). Just
called "Club". Distributor is Crabtree, tel: 01535 640000.
