I have cordless cateye2 on both my training and racing bikes and they are now both playing-up.
They dont seem to be recording each revolution of the wheel, so the speed is erratic eg at 20mph theyll show anything from 0,4,8 etc.
Thought at first it was the batteries. Put some new ones in, but still the same problem. I have now found though that holding the computer close to the transmitter means it DOES pretty much pick up each rev.
So I guess I need to change the transmitters over? I didnt realise they had a life span of 1-2 years??

Make sure the distance is still the same between computer and sensor as this has an effect on the computers ability to function!!
Flightdeck is the way to go if you have shimano sti's

My flightdeck broke after about a month. Cheap Shimano rubbish ! ;-)
Daz - you are talking about replacing the batteries in the transmitter bit on the fork aren't you ?
are there batteries in the transmitter as well!? I didnt know that. though they were just in the cateye comp itself, doh!

If you do want the distances to check anything I still have my box and fitting instructions and will go take a look.
batteries have been changed.
sooooo......the transmitter must be buggered. ill take to a shop when i get a chance, and let you know. maybe its just me, but two cat-eyes in space of a couple of month. cant be the only poor sod!

I might also speak to Zyro who are the main importers to see what the say.
I had the old one for years with no faults.
Then I lost it so had to get the new one.
Much preferred the old one though,
On the other hand - prob better for Cateye - maybe the predecessor was a bit too sturdy ?
was very non-commital as to whether there was a problem or whether the units will be replaced BUT reading between the lines it is something they are aware of. will take the matter up with my local shop.
