Hey, everyone!!!
I have an interesting problem: maybe someone here can help me out a bit.
I bought a new cycling computer. This unit, a BRIO Bikemate, is a nine function, wired unit that works as a speedometer, odometer, tripmeter, and other cool stuff.
Thing is: I really have no idea how to program it. Here's the fun part.
With the structure of my tires and the front forks, I can't have my sensor and magnet where the instructions would suggest. Instead of having them about two inches from the centre of the tire...they're now two inches from the top of the frame.
My tire frames, by the way, are 24 inches in diameter.
The instructions suggest taking the wheel diameter (in millimeters) and multiply it by 3.1416 to figure out the "wheel factor) which is then inputted into the computer as a four digit numeral. Thing is: how do I account for the added distance between where the sensor is and where it should be?
(Barracuda made a bike comp that's almost exactly liek this one, down to the two buttons on it, so that may help).
If anyone can help me out...I'll treat them to a coffee, energy drink, anything when they're out my way.
Thanks! If anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer them.
