Cateye calibration

Mike Muz · Apr 14, 2015

Hi folks ,

I found a couple of Cateye Mity 3 computers in the spares box, ace! So I thought I'd put them on. Unfortunately, I don't have the instructions to go with them :roll: So I can't remember how to calibrate them . I'm running 700 x 23mm tyres. Something in the back of my mind is telling me 210, but I can't be sure.
Could someone confirm this, or is it just a case of measuring a wheel revolution and putting that in?

Thanks,

Mike

I think just measure the wheel rollout in cm and put that in. Or it might be in mm.

The manual is here though, open the "computers" menu, then it's under the "older products" section, about halfway down the page.

Great! Thanks for that

Must be the shortest thread here!

It'll be something like 205 for 700c.

Clicking on the link suggests it's 210for a 23mm tyre.
Starting to realize why I didn't bother before. Am I REALLY going that slowly!

Do you get a certain amount of time putting a new battery in before re calibrating?
Also.. I still use a good old fashioned Cateye

Would it keep your mileage too for certain amount of time?

I put bit of tape down, do a complete revolution and then put a bit of tape down, measure the distance and put it in.

It's as accurate as a phone app.

Hi Ian,

You have as much time as you need to calibrate the computer.
As for mileage, there's three to choose from.
Odometer; Overall mileage. This will accumulate as you ride, until you take the battery out.

Distance 1; When you zero it for a single ride

Distance 2; Adds up rides until you zero that.
i.e. if you want to record your mileage for a week, zero this one at the start of the week.

Then you can go back to Distance 1, if you want to monitor each ride at the end of it.

Press r/h button again at the end of the week and it will display that week's overall mileage.

Press again for odometer

Hope that's not too confusing
