Subject: riding in the rain equaling techniqual problem
Okay today I got caught in the rain durring a 35 mile group ride. It started coming down about 15 miles into it and then it just started pouring. Well since it was around 80 degrees we decided to stay out and finish the ride. After about 10 miles of riding in the rain my bike computer just stopped. It was still working but it was saying that I wasn't moving and giving me a 0 mph readout. Ne idea on why this happened and if it will still work(I havent tried it again and I just got in)

P.S. I logged the fastest speed on my bike before the rain started as I hit 41 mph on a downhill.

Sounds like maybe the magnet on your wheel shifted.  That would be the easiest and best problem.  Next thing I would assume is the actual sensor on the forks....check the wiring.  Maybe some water got down in the sensor...that would let computer "work" but maybe not get a signal.

There also could have been some dirt in the connection. Did you take the face (the part with the readout) off after your last ride? Maybe some dirt worked itself out.
