Cycle computer reset
1 November 2017 01:16 pmI managed to reset the clock on my cycle computer successfully back to Greenwich Mean Time without wiping the odometer settings, which means I can now record that I have a total of 2631 accumulated miles 'on the clock'. What I don't know is whether this reflects the complete total since July 2012, or whether I reset the odometer again without recording the fact at some intervening period!
It's quite possibly the former, in which case I've been doing about 500 miles a year. A lot less than I was, but then I'm no longer cycling 16-20 miles on a frequent basis.
The indicator rod pulled right out of the hub this morning, causing the gear change to cease functioning altogether. (Effectively a Sturmey-Archer hub defaults to top gear, so the bicycle is ridable, but hard work!)
I couldn't get it to screw back in, and my usual bike shop is closed on Wednesdays, so took the machine in to Evans Cycles where the mechanic managed to get it to screw back after having some trouble. It's rather worrying that it happened, though. He suggests I may need a new indicator rod, though there did seem to be thread on the old one despite the way it was twiddling round without engaging...
