    Hi Guys,
    Bought one a few weeks ago - very strange behaviour...
    Its fitted as per instructions, but it thinks that im doing 5km per hour when the bike is standing.
    When i lay it against the wall it does think its stationary alright...
    Any idea's?
    Thanks!

    Its all in your head! The bike IS actually moving,your computer is taking into account the world spinning, I know the world spins much faster than 5kmph but thats the genius of it all! Sorry,no help what so ever,you could try resetting it,take the battery out!

    Have you a separate HRM or anything? I had this issue when using both a cheap HRM and bike computer, basically "cross talk" between the 2 of them, and my heartbeat was picked up as being a revolution of the wheel, and vice versa.

    Yup, have seen this with the Aldi/Lidl HRM/speedos. Prepare to be lynched Cython, I have been scoffed at for previous claims of bad experiences with these...
