Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me out. I just started cycling again after a long break. I have a new bike and a new cycle computer.
I did my first half decent ride of 25 miles which totally knackered me as 20% of the ride is steep hills.
Upon inspection of my cyclometer I realised that I had used the wrong wheel size setting. I had setting number 2 active which was 82.6 when I should have used setting number 1, 84.8.
Can anyone recalculate my distance of 25 miles for me converting it from 82.6 wheel size to 84.3.
I reckon I must have ridden farther than I wanted to which is probably why my knees are totally shot.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
