Are cycle computers waterproof?

Yes they are generally weatherproof. Have three bikes each with a different computer and have had
no problems.

Well, all things being equal and the weather remaining as is it looks like it will be my first wet
ride home tonight.

Just wondered if my cycle computer could be used in the wet weather - i would imagine it
would be ok?

Its called an "8ka" if that means owt to ne1!?

Can't say for all of them, and I wouldn't want to run one submerged for long, but I've had mine out
in all weathers for a few years and it's fine .. 😉

Worst I've ever had is a touch of condensation in one - right in the middle of the display cover.
Found it was a kink in the seal of the battery cover, soon sorted and cleared after that.

I've got one of those and it's survived some rain with no problems.

My first computer (a cheap one bought 9 years ago) used to play up in the rain. The problem was
solved by wrapping it in cling film.

I think they're generally a bit better these days, though.

I think to be fit for purpose it has to withstand anything less than freak weather.

Had some trouble with removeables, but solved it by applying a small amount of "Copperease" to the
terminals.

Or a smear of chain oil on the terminals solved it for me.
