Also the settings were all set correctly for my tire size and its wired so should be no interference.
So is 39mph to fast to be true or is that a regular speed for a down hill run?
Everyone else has weighed in about the 39 mph on a hill. If you dialed in the correct circumference of your tires when you set up the cyclocomputer, it's probably giving you accurate numbers. A simple test of the calibration is to ride side-by-side with another cyclist and compare the speed readings.
