Anyone know why when using my LED/HID light, a Nite Ride Cylcone, it screws up the functions on my TREK wireless computer (except the clock)? Does the CE chip that regulates the light's voltage cause this? I'll probably replace the computer with a wired system since I plan to do some audax riding next year. But I don't care for the look of wires running around everywhere.

Your lights are probably reading your thoughts and sending them encoded in their blinking pattern to the NSA.
