I last updated my list of links to bicycle computer instruction manuals in 2005. It’s time for a refresh. (Updated Nov 3 2011)

If you did “fall back” for the end of Daylight Savings Time, your bicycle computer is now an hour fast and you probably have no idea how to reset the time on your bike computer.

Several bike computer manuals are available online as PDF files. Here are the ones I’ve found, but there are many more bike computers today than were available in 2005; please feel free to list any I’ve missed in the comments.

My top secret tip: I don’t change the time in the fall, so when it comes time to Spring Forward I’m back to the correct time on my bike computers. Hurray!

If you want a new cycle computer and want to support Cyclelicious at the same time, I have about 30 pages worth of bike computers listed in the Cyclelicious Amazon Affiliate shop. They’re listed approximately in order of popularity.
