Interference to Wireless Cyclometers from Digital Lighting
Has anyone figured out how to get around the interference caused to
wireless cyclometers from digital lights (Niterider)? Excell Sports swore the new Mavic wireless cyclometer with cadence wouldn't be affected, and it is (operating only intermittently for both mph and cadence when the light is running). I like the cyclometer but hate to loose my mileage all winter when I commute in the dark. |

Wireless when it's needed or useful (say, chest HRM sensors, mobile phones, etc.) is awesome, but -- particularly cheap and cheerful wireless like bike computers and other such low budget items -- is only a major hassle without offsetting benefits. Not even mentioning the multiple-battery thing. Jasper |

I realised that when the wireless bike computer I had used to own advanced by leaps and bounds (ranging from 30 metres to more than 4km) if it was in my pocket when I walked through supermarket anti-theft detectors. |

Not exactly the kind of help I was looking for.

Mine (A Mity 3) did that if it was in my pocket with my keys, since each time two bits of my keyring contacted the two contacts on the back was counted as one revolution of the wheel (Max speeds of nearly 200 kph were observed). But at least that was predictable and could be avoided simply. Jasper |
