This is beyond me cycle computer
I bought a cat eye micro wireless 200w computer. I have a Garmin but I always have dedicated computer if only to keep track of total bike miles. Well this one I cannot figure out. I got the correct wheel size, managed the total odometer to set up to bikes current miles. I cannot get the display to only show what I want to scroll through. Seems the option is to only have what you want on the display beside total odometer and time. It has settings for two wheels I don't want the dis 2 to show. I don't care about stop watch feature cannot figure that out. Is it me or do I need a Ph.D. To get this down.
I have spent less time building a wheel than getting this to function like I want

Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!
Read the owner's sheet that came with it as all the set up steps are well defined. The two different wheel sizes are for those who use the same head on two different bikes. If you only use it on one, just leave the wheel size setting you need and forget the other. It will only show the one you have chosen. If you are concerned that it will change the wheel setting by itself, just make both settings the same.

Most cycling computers are not as customizable as the display on a Garmin. Look at Page 2 of the linked manual and it will show you the display flow as regards to button pushes.

Finally after just letting it soak in I managed to get it figured out. You do have the option to get rid of some items in the menu as you go through the various data. I did not want the stop watch feature coming up or the distance 2 option. All is well. Cat eye are the best in my opinion of computers that are not gps.
