Yar, the computer measures the total distance you have cycled since installed, this is the odometer function. You have the option of resetting the Odo if needed using a reset button on the back of the computer.

Hi there, in your picture you have a bar mount already on the bars, if you take that one off or put the bar mount on the other side of the stem, I see no reason why this will not work.

answer 1

Changing from kmh to mph can only be done during setup. You can't change between the two without resetting the computer, which means losing any saved data. Take the battery out, and when you replace it, you'll go through the various stages such as setting time/date etc, and that is one of the stages..

answer 2

Very easy to do; it is the forst thing you do in setup; once set as kph/mph you can't change without losing your data, though. I prefer kph as over 20 seems respectable! Press the setup button at the back, then toggle between mph/kph, then press set.
