Hi guys, can anyone confirm the setting I should be using for a wheel/tyre size 26 x 1.6?

I've lost the owner manual - I think the setting was 2051.

Cheers,

240

It is the circumference in mm. Should be about 2016.87487452658mm, approximately.

240Cup - get some chalk, mark the floor and the bottom of the front tyre, then roll the bike forward in a straight line, until the chalk mark on the tyre is at the bottom again. Make a second mark on the floor, then measure the distance between the two marks. The result is the circumference measurement of your wheel (as ridden) and you can use the millimetres (more accurate) or round it down to the nearest centimetre if the computer has space to input only three digits. To make the measurement super accurate, you can simulate the effect of your weight on the bike by pushing down and 'loading' the tyre.
