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

Headlight and Cateye Computer Conflict

I recently installed a Cateye Double Wireless computer on my bike. Everything worked fine in my garage but when I took the bike out the next morning the computer wouldn't pick up the signal from the wheel and crank arm. I finally figured out whenever my headlight (Niterider Minewt) was on the computer was not receiving a signal. Anybody had this issue? Any ideas on how to resolve?

I experienced the same thing even when the light was off during the morning commute. I noticed that the minewt's wire needs to be positioned away from the computer. My solution was to rotate the battery, strapped to the top tube because of the shape of the stem, to the left.
