Subject: Timex T5K615 GPS Bike Computer
Does anyone have this bike computer? I found a good deal on it on Amazon.com and it had good reviews overall. I haven't used it on the road yet, but I did try to use it while on the trainer this week and the speed seems to be really off.

This might be a dumb question, but I'm asking it anyway....should the bike computer register the correct speed on the trainer as well as on the road? When I tried to pedal at my normal cadence on the trainer, the computer shows that I was only going about 8 mph. I changed the tire size, which seems to help some - now it shows that I'm going 12 mph. Even when I pedal as fast as I can, my top speed is only about 16 mph.

Is this the norm for a bike computer on the trainer? I'm just wondering if I might be doing something wrong with settings.
