If the model name is highlighted, clicking on it will take you to detailed setting instructions. Otherwise, look up the computer in the cyclecomputer database.

Ciclomaster models except CM-37, which uses group C
Magura Velotronic Easy: multiply these values by 2 for km, or by 1.243 for miles.


The setting is the tire's radius in millimeters

This can't be measured directly: if doing a rollout test, divide the result by 6.283. See further notes by John Allen if doing a rollout test.

If using a rollout test for greater accuracy, divide the result by 6.2832 (that is, divide by 2 * π). If you are using a calculator, it's easier and more accurate to use the π button!

For the Velotronic Easy, divide by 3.142 (or π) and also do the multiplication for miles. The exact multiplication factor for miles is 2/1.609344.
