Over the winter my battery went dead on my flight deck computer. I installed a new battery and reset the numbers. I have a Cannondale R1000. Does 2110 mm sound right for the wheel circumference? The lbs programed it the first time and I wasn't paying attention to what he was doing.:rolleyes:

well, the most accurate way is to do a rollout (make a chalk mark on your tire and see what distance it covers in one complete revolution)

here's the data i got from my manual
700x18 2070mm
700x19 2090mm
700x20 2110mm
700x25 2115mm
700x28 2135mm

I run 700x23 tires, so I went with the 2115 since it's closer

It might be too late now, but for the future, write down the sizes in case the battery goes bad again.

I have a new Flight Deck and it occurred to me that I should do the same.

I asked the LBS mechanic if the Flight Deck would retain data if I pulled out an old battery and immediately replaced it with a fresh one. He asked someone in the back and said that he thought so.
