Having problems with message search?
Interesting. As I recall, the computer with the coax cable was the Performance Axiom (3C?) - anyway, they have changed models twice since then before changing brands completely. ;-{
I'll have to dissect another cable the next time I goober up the wire - have been having pretty good luck keeping them intact for a couple of years (saying which will no doubt jinx me).
Thanks for the detailed info!

There is no commonality between cabling for these things. What you see on one computer will not be seen on another. After splicing at least 8 different cycle computers I have never yet encountered coaxial wire. They often look round like coaxial but really have two side by side conductors. I am sorry you had such trouble, but I have never had the least trouble splicing these things. I seriously doubt anyone who has soldered or spliced before will have any issues with the procedure.
Indeed, I have no idea why anyone would spec coaxial cable for cycle computers. The pickups are the simplest thing in the world - a magnetic reed switch.
