Whats the Equivalent for OCP in just setting the bike up?

Yen. You will find that you do not have to be that particular. Although you have measured the tyre and got the correct size- The tyre will wear- At times you will have different pressures and air and ground temperature can affect it. Good to be carefull in setting up, but I generrally go by the Table supplied. Then when the battery goes flat- and I don't replace it- Or the sensor gets out of kilter and it doesn't work for 3 rides because I have stopped looking at it- It doesn't affect me any more.

A computer is the best toy for a bike you can get. Just try sorting out the new toy when it goes wrong and you will realise why I gave up on them years ago- Or rather they gave up on me.
