Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wireless interferance?

It has been one thing after another this week and I'm starting to get sick of it. Anyways, I had a Ciclosport HAC4 computer which once I FINALLY figured out the software I loved it. But thanks to the cheap ass mounting "bracket" that they use which are actually just rubber bands my computer fell off my bike earlier this week at a slow speed and has since never worked the same, the HR on it was WAY off and at times didn't even read, the temperature switches between 69F and 122F and the altitude it constantly changing. I bought this new off ebay a few months ago so that's about $160 down the drain. I decided to try switch out the battery before going to buy a new computer and no luck. I finally decided to go for something reliable and went for a Cateye double wireless computer with cadence howeveer it seems to be interferring with my HR monitor now. I have a Polar A3 HR monitor and a Polar chest strap, whenever I start pedaling it I get accurate readings from the cateye but it throws the Polar way off, I'll be riding at a cruising pace and it will be reading at 180bpm or 220pbm or something way off like that. I'm getting fustrated considering I can't seem to have a training ride lately where everything ACTUALLY WORKS. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to cut out this interferrance? My Polar HR has worked flawlessly for years now. Has anyone else had this experience?

I don't have the exact setup that you do, but I have noticed some interference when I have multiple sensors/computers on my bike. There must be a way to get it to work though because I've seen pictures of Hunter Allen's bikes where he has 3-4 powermeters on his in addition to other sensors. Not sure how he does it though...I've also seen some of the pro's riding with multiple widgets on their bikes too...

wish I knew the answer. hopefully someone on BF will have some insight into this

Does anyone know if I'll be dealing with this problem if I go for the Cateye Micro Wireless?

Bikes: too many

Sorry do not know about Cateye Micro Wireless.
My buddy and I use Mavic Wintech and they work fine, no interference from each other or other folks.
