The softshell jackets are good, but be warned, they are warm..... I ditched mine in March, but for cold days they are great....

)One minor issue with the computer, but not enough for me to take it back:
The backlight is a waste of a function! The instructions tell you to hold down the button for 2 seconds and the backlight illuminates for 5 seconds. This is a typo - you have to hold the button for 5 seconds to get a 2 second light. No way will I hold a button for 5 seconds while I'm cycling downhill in the dark, just so I can see what speed I'm doing!
But apart from that, I'm pretty pleased with it

Funny, that's the exact same reason I went in my lunch break today and spent £40...
...on glasses, shorts, underwear, softshell jacket, saddlepack, gloves
If someone said "here's a £40 ChainReaction voucher" I'd be thinking that jacket and shorts were a shrewd buy
The contents of the saddlebag are made of finest primula cheese spread but who cares?
Got some shorts (great!), 2 pairs of gloves and the computer. Thing is, I'm a total dummy when it comes to some gadgets and even though the instructions were pretty clear, I think I did something wrong, as the sensor's not picking up anything. Any ideas why?
Wanted a soft shell, but they only had it in big sizes in my local Aldi. I'll have to ring my sis to see if they have any smaller ones left

Have you got the little spoke-magnet alligned with the top or bottom of the sensor? If it's in the middle, it really doesn't work.

Mine has gone straight into the "winter wear" cupboard, I feel that I'll be glad of it next winter
tordis said:Hmmm... That could be it! I'll check it when I'm out on my lunch break. I might have put it in the middle, thinking (silly me!) that middle = right
I did exactly the same yesterday
Then I had to find where I'd thrown the instruction manual - I'm a man, so instruction manuals don't really apply

I mithered over the saddlepack for a while, but all my bikes have racks, so it wasn't really needed.... I could feel bargain-mania setting in....

I bought the XL soft shell. I needed the extra size for the length in the arms at the cost of some growing room in the midriff.
