Do you use a separate heart rate monitor? The monitor signal can
disrupt the bike computer signal. Jim Garrison wrote in message ... New Cateye Cordless 7 (2 months old). Works flawlessly at the start of every ride for 8-10 miles and then stops registering speed and distance. It behaves as if it's not receiving a signal from the sensor, as I can still cycle through the display options (i.e., it's not totally dead, just not registering sensor signals). It always recovers by itself after about 5 minutes of inactivity. In other words about 5 minutes after I have finished my ride, it's back to normal. This happens consistently, EVERY time I go out, but never at exactly the same distance or time. The sensor signal indicator on the display, which toggles every wheel revolution, is always in the 'on' state after the computer stops registering. The batteries in both the sender and computer are brand new, and the sensor is only 45cm from the computer, well within the 70cm spec. I've tweaked the clearance between the spoke magnet and the sensor down to less than 1mm, and the magnet is aligned exactly with the line on the sensor. Anyone have any ideas? Jim Garrison |

I have a Polar 720i HRM, and a Sigma hardwire cyclometer, which takes the same sensor as the Polar. I place them at 180 degrees apart on opposite sides of the front wheel. No problems with signals getting crossed. -tom |

BRBR Anyone have any ideas? BRBR Geeezzz, warranty the thing. Cateye has a wonderful warranty department- Peter Chisholm Vecchio's Bicicletteria 1833 Pearl St. Boulder, CO, 80302 (303)440-3535 http://www.vecchios.com "Ruote convenzionali costruite eccezionalmente bene" I had one that did this. Replaced it. Same problem. Turns out that I ride a lot on a MUP that paralells transmission lines Its called Electro Magnetic Interference. Drives the computer batty. Today while out riding, a couple of lightening strikes nearby caused the same problem. ( The bikes carbon fiber, didn¹t bother it a bit.....

New Cateye Cordless 7 (2 months old). Works flawlessly at the start
of every ride for 8-10 miles and then stops registering speed and distance. It behaves as if it's not receiving a signal from the sensor, as I can still cycle through the display options (i.e., it's not totally dead, just not registering sensor signals). Cateye had/has a known problem with a lot of their transmitters doing pretty much exactly what yours is doing. They'll replace the transmitter without issue; just take it back to the shop you got it from and have them give Cateye a call. Very friendly people. It's entirely possible that your shop's never dealt with Cateye directly and may have some fear & trepidation in doing so; if that's true, it's entirely misplaced. They'll be pleasantly surprised. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com "Jim Garrison" wrote in message ... New Cateye Cordless 7 (2 months old).
