wkc,

I admire your rigorous approach to tracking down the errors. But I am lazier (by a lot!) than you are.

I have a Cateye Astrale wired bike computer that is C&V-worthy, and I track my rides on a phone using Ride/w/GPS. When they did not agree, I lowered/raised the circumference number in the Cateye until they did agree within a tenth! Took a few rides, but not many, to get them synced.

Which one was correct to begin with? I don't know, but I think the GPS. (There are no cul-de-sacs on my routes.) Why must they agree? Because I like them to agree!

So now, they're either both right, or both wrong, but they agree.

All best to you in Oz.
