Wireless computer not working
I'd appreciate any help. I have a Supergo wireless computer that I can set for
two wheel sizes so I use it on both my mountain and road bikes. The computer stoped reading speed/distance, but the clock function works and the readout is bright.. 1. I changed batteries in computer and in fork transmitters. 2. I adjusted magnet/transmitter fit in every which way. 3. i adjusted computer clamp on handlebar in a variety of ways. Nothing is working. Any ideas appreciated? Jim Hasenauer |

Jim,
I use the Cateye double wireless system and have found that when changing batteries the system ID or channel ID needs to be reset as well. With the wrong ID everything looks like it is working and it is, but teh but tehdisplay unit is rejecting the transmitter's signal as being from another bike.

I sounds like a bad receiver in the head unit since it's not likely both transmitter units are bad. Is there a way to change the rf frequency the unit works on? I'm thinking maybe the transmitters are not on the same frequency as the receiver. I assume the unit was working at one time. How much time elapsed between the last time you know it was working and when you noticed it wasn't working? What happened before it stopped working (e.g., did you reprogram it, change batts, crash the bike, etc.)? Art Harris |

I'm thinking maybe the transmitters are not on the same frequency as the receiver. I don't know about all transmitter units, but mine is just a battery that creates a RF pulse as the wheel magnet passes it. The head unit simply picks up these pulses. Other units I've fiddled with are the same. The case for the "transmitter" may serve as an antenna to focus the RF pulse. Sounds like a dead head unit to me. Matt O. |
