The wife and I went out for a ride recently and got very different distance results.
My wife has a Cateye wireless computer I have a Garmin Edge 510 and we also used Strava on a mobile phone. Now I realise there is always going to be some discrepancy between different recording devices but I wondered if the tyre size entered in each device is correct.
We are both riding on 700x25c tyres but the Cateye paperwork says set tyre size to 2105mm and I have always had my Garmin set to auto which sets a size of 2114mm. I realise Strava does not have this calibration function (as far as I am aware)
On our ride My wifes Cateye recorded a distance of 13.8 miles, her phone running Strava recorded 17.9 miles and my Garmin recorded 14.8 miles.
What size do you set your device to?
