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

VDO Speedometer - HELP!!!!

I used this all last year on my other wheel set, now I just got the new ones, getting ready for the first ride of the season tomorrow and I can't get it to work. The computer looks good, and the green LED light comes on with the fork mechanism. So I doubt it's the batteries. I did a Digi Connect Reset as well, and that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Am I missing something?

i had that happen as well. sometimes resetting it works.

if that doesn't work... try changing the battery anyway. i changed mine when the reset didn't work and it worked after that.

I took the battery from the computer and switched it with the one in the transmitter, then did a digi connect, and it finally worked. 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back. And about 30 seconds of everyone else's life they will never get back by reading this thread.
