Well, my cateye cordless just ticked over from 9999.99 miles to 0.0. In just over 2 years 4 months on that bike.

Have to say the odo reading looks a bit pathetic now. great incentive to rack up the miles though.

I think this is the first computer I've had that's managed this, the rest have given up the gost from falls or water penetration.

Impressive performance, both by you and by the CatEye! :beer:

Well, Chewa,

My computer's wiring came apart just before the 10,000 mile mark. I didn't know it was going to turn over!

Sounds like we do about the same amount of riding, you and I.

Bummer. I hope it turns around for you soon and that your next job is within your commuting range.

And how many battery changes over that mileage?.

None. It's a cateye CL100 (one of the early cordless) but I did notice latterly in cold weather that going above 20 mph it would not register a speed and dropped to 0. So I changed the sender battery at about 9500 miles (the instructions say change every 10K miles!)

When it reset, I changed the display battery as doing this resets everything again.

I found out that since changing my wheels, the computer was on the wrong setting and I've actually gone further than I thought (and faster)

:D
