Regarding the Cateye Mity 8 computer: the computer is capable of measuring two wheel sizes. According to the documentation, wheel size 'B' is programmed for slow speeds.
Does anybody know what this means? [1] Is there a speed above which the unit will give erroneous results?
Cateye suggests that wheel size 'B' be used for a mountain bike. Many times I have ridden a mountain bike down a steep paved road, & have gone pretty fast.
Thanks!

the computer just measures input pulse rate from the magnet and calculates output data based on the size of the wheel you tell it you're using. it has no idea what size the wheel really is or the nature of the bike. any more than that [max speed for instance], i'd have to refer to the manual, but you can do that easier since you apparently already have it to hand.
I think someone muffed the translation. Anyway, I believe the pre-programming was for "A" to be 700c wheels and "B" to be mountain bike tires. It really doesn't matter. Since I messed up once, I've set both "sizes" to be the same.

same here, set both sizes to the same and don't worry about it.

No, it's just that things get erroneous when moving extremely slowly.
In 'A' mode, the computer display a zero speed reading until you are going faster than about 2.5 mph, whereas 'B' gives readings down to about 1 mph.

Also the computer reads differently at high speeds. Above 40mph there is only a 5mph resolution - at least on the Mity 3, which I believe is essentially identical apart from keypress ordering. -- David Damerell <[email hidden]> flcl? Today is Oneiros, August.
