  1. Good afternoon. I got a little problem I might need your help with. I have a
    Vetta 100HR wireless computer with wireless cadence option I got more than a
    year ago. But I installed it just this morning.
    So, after the install, I needed to check my new toy out. A mile and a half
    into the ride, I suddenly lost any speed and cadence inputs. I spent some
    time trying to figure out what's up, but nothing. I thought that it may be
    old batteries in both wireless units, even though it's odd they went out at
    the same time. Put new ones and again, nothing. The heartrate monitor is
    fine though. It is receiving info just fine. I moved the wireless units
    around, as well as magnets, but nothing happened. Any ideas what could it
    be? It is weird how it stopped working right away.

  3. Even thogh the HRM works, I have found the solution being a new battery in
    the head unit rather than the sending unit. Sometimes, you'll see the
    wrench on and it stays on, meaning needing new battery and sometimes not,
    but new battery fixes it.

    I will def. try that before sending it out. But I tried 2 other 2032
    batteries and they did not help. They were not new, so I am having
    reservations of their efficacy. I have read that these units eat up
    batteries sometimes, so hopefully that a new one will do the trick.

    I had the same exact problem. Tried new batteries and it worked for a bit.
    Tried moving positions of the cadence and speed units and it worked
    sometimes. I finally sent it back. They sent me a new one which I was
    reluctant to use expecting the same behavior. After about a year I put the
    new unit on a bike and it has been flawless.
