    It is low and erratic, not low and steady, like a bad contact, but I can't
    press or jiggle it into operation, like normal.

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience with a low battery first
    showing itself by displaying lower speed.

    My bike computer works OK, but it reads much slower speed, and
    intermittent.

    It doesn't seem to be the contacts, and the pickup is still in the right
    spot.

    Some comps, at very low battery voltages, will auto-reset and lose the
    wheel diameter setting. I have a couple which display this behavior,
    one of which is given to doing it when the temp falls below 45F and
    the batt voltage sags accordingly. Check your wheel diameter setting
    in the comp, and I'm betting that it's set for something much larger
    than you need.

    Dear Robert,

    Perhaps a failing sensor switch?

    Or even a sensor and mount that look good together, but are
    actually marginal or even fail when things flex laterally as
    you ride?
