Subject: powertap speed readings
I have a Powertap CPU with the speed and cadence sensor only as I am still saving for the hub. I got my bike back from the LBS today ( I was getting new aero bars installed) when I got it home and put it on the trainer  the speed readings where way off. I checked the settings(including wheel size) and everything was just like it was before I took it in. The magnet hasn't moved and everything seems exactly the same. I'm stumped. I'll call saris in the morning but I have a 85 min. ride planned in the early AM and would like to figure this out tonight if possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Way off high, or way off low?

If they are low, maybe your magnet moved far enough away where it isnt always picking it up. Try moving the magnet closer?

(I dont own a powertap...just guessing)
