Hi,

I use a bike with small wheels (20" or 451). Do does one set
that size on a Cateye Mity8 cyclocomputer please? Thank you.

Wheel size isn't enough information. Tire size and pressure
can affect calibration also. Here's some instructions:

Thanks Jeff. I checked Sheldon's site and so the setting's
about 162 for my 451 wheels.

That sounds about right. However, roll-out calibration is
still the best method.

My wife keeps getting on my case when her computer is
off by 1-2%... about as close as you can get with
normal calibration. I haven't had a computer on my bike
for 8 years.
