Mount the computer on the handlebars how you want. I snipped the cable ties down to leave 1cm spare to pull on with pliers should it work loose, which is unlikely, but you never know. Once you've done this successfully, you will hear a nice quiet 'tick' when the magnet passes the sensor as you spin the wheel. Don't forget that realistically you need to keep the sensor and computer less than about 50cm apart for it to pick up the signal! This is VERY important! It's a case of tweaking to move the arm of the sensor round and the magnet up and down to get the best path. The trick here is get the magnet to glide past the sensor zone (marked on the sensor) with a gap of 5mm or less between the two. You basically cable tie the sensor to the fork (don't do it too tight at first) then slide the magnet onto the spoke. I mounted mine on the right hand side of my fork (opposite to the disc brake) and about halfway up. I would suggest fitting the sensor first.
This is perhaps the clearest of the instructions in the manual. Therefore, I've ignored the '2 bikes' options. I think this is a bit pointless seeing as you have to buy a whole new sensor and mountings for your second bike and may as well then get a second computer. There is an option to use this computer on two bikes and save two sets of data. This seems to be a very common complaint and having sat down for a while and done a bit of research on the net, I can now write out some instructions to hopefully save some people a bit of time!!! So - I got a new wireless computer for my bike today - a CatEye MICRO Wireless Cycle Computer (CC-MC100W) - and the instructions are, quite frankly, crap.
