Abstract:
1. A device for setting a wheel size of a first bicycle and a second bicycle, comprising: a bicycle computer having at least a first input medium and a second input medium for receiving signals corresponding to at least two wheel sizes, a first receptacle component assigned to the first bicycle and having a first transmission medium on a side thereof for transmitting a first signal corresponding to the wheel size of the first bicycle, wherein the bicycle computer is capable of being directly mounted onto the first receptacle component and to be being separated from the first receptacle component, and wherein when the bicycle computer is mounted onto the first receptacle component, the first input medium of the bicycle computer is positioned directly above the first transmission medium of the first receptacle component, and the first signal is an electric signal or a radio signal corresponding to the wheel size of the first bicycle, which is transmitted by the transmission medium and is received by the first input medium, sets the bicycle computer to the wheel size of the first bicycle, the device further comprising: a second receptacle component assigned to the second bicycle, the second receptacle component having a second transmission medium, wherein a position of the first transmission medium of the first receptacle component is offset relative to a position of the second transmission medium of the second receptacle component by a distance (Dt) corresponding to a distance (Di) between the first and second input media on the bicycle computer, and wherein the first transmission medium is the only transmission medium provided on the first receptacle component, and the second transmission medium is the only transmission medium on the second receptacle component, and the first transmission medium of the first receptacle component of the first bicycle is situated at a distance in comparison to the second transmission medium of the second receptacle component of the second bicycle, so that when the bicycle computer is mounted onto the first receptacle component, there is no communication between the second input medium and the first transmission medium, and only the first input medium is able to receive the first signal which sets the bicycle computer to the wheel size of the first bicycle, and when the bicycle computer is mounted onto the second receptacle component, there is no communication between the first input medium and the second transmission medium, and only the second input medium is able to receive a second signal which sets the bicycle computer to the wheel size of the second bicycle.
