I've had the Cateye Astrale, model CC-CD100, installed on my bike for close to a year now with absolutely no problems from day one. The cadence magnet is on the crank and the other one is on the rear wheel. Yesterday, 2.7 miles into my ride all the functions except for the cadence quit working. I stopped on the road to check it but found nothing wrong. The magnets on the rear wheel were lined up fine, giving off an audible beep everytime the magnet would pass the sensor. I checked everthing again more closely once I got home but still could find nothing wrong and still could not get the functions from the rear magnet to work. Then, this morning I check it again and everything is working fine with no adjustments. Any ideas what the problem may have been? Has anyone else had problems with the Astrale working intermittently?
It wasn't raining, wasn't below freezing temps, and the magnet/sensor was clean and tight. Is this one of those gremlin things that may not pop its head for another year?
