Using Bike Computer on Two Bikes?

Peter Skellern in the UK has a Velomann heart rate monitor and wants to know how to use it on two bikes and where to buy an extra sensor. After a lot of investigation here is what we found.

Question:
I have a Velomann 1.2HR cycle computer. The instructions say that it can be used with two bikes, but do not explain how this can be done. Do I just buy another sensor and if so where can I get one? I’ve tried to contact Velomann but had no response and no-one seems to be able to answer this question. Can you help?

Hi Peter.

I must apologise that I don’t know much about Velomann computers, but I have been doing a bit of homework and this is what I have found:

I guess you refer to the Velomann 1.20 HR from the Speedstar range, which has BC1 and BC2 odometers and double pre-set wheel diameter. So yes you can set it up to run two bikes.

I also discovered that finding a copy of the instruction book was impossible. With all the other bike computers we have in the BCR office they all worked mostly the same way, you need to go to “options” and then a “set up” section on the computer, then there should be a “bike” set up where you will be able to find BC1 and BC2. There you should be able to see the distances for either bikes and set the wheel size for either.

Now finding who sells an extra speed sensor in the UK was not so easy, but Chain Reaction Cycles stock Velomann, contact them and they might be able to help you.

We hope this helps?
