Speedo
 
Are there any wireless speedometers that gauge MPH instead of KMH?

wideAMG 04-17-09 11:02 AM

there are people on the earth that still use MPH?


the cateye strada wireless will display speed in MPH.
also the Polar products.

Just about all that are sold in the US can switch between kph and mph.

Pharmr 04-17-09 11:08 AM

yes.....all of them....at least all the computers I've seen

Austin Rice 04-17-09 11:26 AM

My mom bought a CatEye system for her bike, and it claimed to switch to MPH, but no matter what we did, it would stay as KMH. Which one would you guys recommend?

Wrong forum. This should be in triathlon... oh, wrong type of speedo.

Quijibo187 04-17-09 11:36 AM

all cateye computers should switch to mph, if it still won't switch, it's broken.
try taking it to a shop, they program lots of computers.

I would recommend that you learn how to read the instructions for the one you already bought. Failing that, tell us which model and I'm sure somebody here can tell you how to do it.

When I set up my Cateye Strada Cadence, I had to select between mph and kph during the initial setup/calibration. You might try a hard reset, then go through the setup again. The instructions will definitely tell you how to do it. If you don't have the originals, download them from the internet somewhere. I'm sure they have them on the Cateye site.

It is for my mom's bike, and she doesn't really ride that much anymore. She won't give it to me though :crash: Besides, I want a wireless one :thumb:

Wow. You could have kept that to yourself, but I guess you need to put people down to make yourself feel better.

Some American children are in their late 20's.

That doesn't really make very much sense.

TRaffic Jammer 04-17-09 12:55 PM

....til you meet them, then it becomes painfully clear.
Just about every model out there should be able to display both MPH and KPH

It does if you have a sense of humor. :D

I wasn't putting you down, just an observation. You are acting like a little kid. You asked for which models display mph instead of kph and we told you all of them. You said yours claimed to but doesn't and I said if you tell us which model it is somebody can tell you how to do it. You replied that you'd rather just get a new one.

Uh...wrong. My mom HAS one for HER bike. I need one for MY bike.

Yes, but I said we could show you how to figure out how to change that one. If you understood how to change it then you would see that pretty much any would work.

They all do. End of thread.

Not to nit pick, but where was umd supposed to get that from this?
