    Newbie help please Cyclotricity LCD "dasboard"

    I've just put the cyclotricity kit on my Trek 7300 hybrid. Fairly straight forward apart from a few nervous moments with an angle grinder and the forks and a few curses about the position of the bottle mounting points on the trek. When setting up the dashboard I seem to have found a menu not...
