Re-setting my Cateye Asrtale
I need to reset my Cateye Astrale to 325 miles - roughly what I have ridden this season to date. I know it's easy but I can not find how to do this. Please help? Thanks.

It's easy in the sense that it's not actually possible, so the instructions to do it are quite simple.

Middle of page 2, left column. "The odometer cannot be reset."

I reset my Cateye MITY 8. Don't know if it transfers over to the Astrale, but I just mashed all the buttons at once and held it for a couple seconds. That reset it zero. I guess you could just sit and wave the magnet over the sensor while you watch TV until it gets back to 325 from there. Just count it as "recovery time" in your training.

Reset to zero using the little reset on the back. Then keep the bike upside down and turn the pedals wverytime you walk by until you hit around 325miles

I set my odo by taping the speedo pickup to the bed of my drill press and then bent a 5" piece of coat hanger wire in an L configuration and attaching the spoke magnet it to end of the L. Works great, had an average speed of 178 MPH.
If you don't have access to a drill press, the same thing could be done with a common drill motor if eveything is clamped down securly.

Cool idea, though.
