I've noticed a problem today with my front light (Bike Hut, Halfords own brand afaik) and my cycle computer (Bontrager trip 4w, wireless). When I put the front light on the computer doesn't pick anything up from the wheel sensor, when the front light is flashing the computer picks that up and gives me a stationary speed of 17mph..
I noticed this while going down a shadowy lane today, as I knew i wasn't doing 25mph when I looked down at it. :D
So I tried it with the light static, and when i moved off I got no information, turning the light off fully fixed these problems.
At the moment these are both adjacent on my handlebars, I haven't tried moving them further apart yet, though that is the next port of call.
My question is this: Is this a normal occurence, and if it ends up that I have to buy a new light are there any designs / brands where this will still occur? Any input will be appreciated, thanks.
