If not Electro Magnetic then conflicting digital frequencies could also be present at such a site and interfere with transmission.
If you want to be 100% sure, you'll need to know a scientist / Radio Frequency person and find out what frequency your cyclo-computer is running on.

I have a polar F11 HRM and a Sigma 1606 wireless computer with cadence etc and I can't say I've ever had a problem. Parts of my ride are under the big and chunky high voltage lines too, no problems there either. The high readings on my HRM are at the top of hills, and the high reading on the speedo on the bike are usually at the bottom of hills.

This was discussed a few months back and there's some difference between the models that makes the cheaper ones more suseptable. Might pay you to search on CS200cad to find the relevant posts.

McIver is the one I usually ride past where my Polar has a bit of a problem. Watch out for the glass though! Usually a bit around, particularly on a Monday.
Thanks!

I've since gone back to the wired one and have had no issues.

Without knowing how the data in your computer is sent and received it's hard to say why it has trouble at that location.
I had a good fault on my Shimano flightdeck on Sunday. The max speed was 118.3km/h and the average speed was 'err'.
We were hitting 40 but certainly not 118.3km/h.
I should have got a photo of it and sent it to my cycling brother in law.

Mainly around high voltage power lines the unit played up. The trains in Perth are electric and riding under the power lines used to set it off. I also was on the Munda Biddi trail and rode under the high voltage grid feeders and it did the same thing. Top speed of 120 km/h on a gravel mountain bike trail
I was in granny gear too.

I asked about that, but apparently the nuclear battery in my pacemaker went flat several years ago. The doctor only just remembered to tell me.europa wrote:It was probably your pace maker messing it up Kev

I hope it's not that new Smart Rider system. I believe that they wirelessly transmit data back to the central database. (These terminals are on buses as well.)
(One for the Privacy aware - log onto Transperth and register your Smart Rider card you can see your public transport movements for as long as you have had a Smart Rider card!)
Cheers,

You must have excellent cadienceheavymetal wrote:I had a Vetta V100 wireless. Nice on board functions, but continually having problems with the wireless. I took it back and got it replaced, but the LBS said they all had the problem and refused to sell them anymore.

I noticed that with my daughter's smart rider. Personally I don't have that problem as I have a free pass for any Transperth transport.

If they are transmitting wirelessly, I'll have to unpack my wardriver and dish and have a look next time a bus pulls up outside.

With that speedo, I'll never know as the wireless cadence sensor never worked, so I removed it. I ended up removing the entire thing and went back to the trusty old Panoram.mikesbytes wrote:You must have excellent cadience

Perhaps the 200bpm is where you are going up the hillreparto corse wrote:I too have the cs300 and it sometimes goes a bit whacky. When i ride around centenial park there's a particular spot that it tells me that my heart rate is around the 200bpm, but moments before it would be around the 130bpm. Maybe because it's the U.S model that it may not like certain frequencies that we use here in OZ more. I can't explain it, but it is frustrating at times as it makes me think that i'm about to have a heart attack or something.
