Shimano Flight Deck Bicycle Computer
 
Flight Deck Head
Flight Deck features:
  • Oversized screen with with a dual mode display is easy to read.
  • Posi-click buttons mount on the shift lever(s) and easily accommodates sweaty fingers.
  • Beautiful, low profile, center mounting design. The computer head is just 2 inches (5 cm) long by 1.79 inches (4.5 cm) wide and only .6 of an inch (1.5 cm) thick.
  • Perfectly integrates into most STI levers including 10 speed models. Will work with older, pre 1999, STI levers but not all functions will be available. See the charts below for details.
  • Functions include virtual cadence, digital gear number, gear indicator bar, current speed, average speed, maximum speed, cumulative distance and trip distance in miles or kilometers.
  • Enough memory to store information for up to four bicycles.
  • Programmable so you do not lose cumulative distance when you change the battery.
  • The bubbles in the rear Optical Gear Display are removable for use with less than 10 speeds. You can show just 8 or 9 bubbles if that is how many rear gears you have. You may also program 1, 2 or 3 chainrings.
  • Time functions include: 12/24 hour clock and time elapsed on your current ride, a lap counter and stop watch.
  • Three extra stop watch functions are ideal for time trials and laps. They are: distance, average speed and maximum speed.
  • Auto start/stop automatically starts and stops the ride time stopwatch when you start or stop cycling. Auto start/stop assures you of the greatest possible accuracy for elapsed time and average speed functions.
  • Accepts wheels from 26 x 1 to 700 x 28.

More Flight Deck features:
  • Works with double or triple cranksets and 8, 9 or 10 speed cassettes or 8 speed freewheels. Will even work with Campy cassettes as long as you use Shimano shifters and a Shimano rear derailleur.
  • Compatible with all Shimano rear derailleurs including the Rapid Rise model.
  • Accepts input for one cassette only; does not allow for wheel changes with different size cassettes unless you reprogram the settings. However, you may program any tooth configuration from 11 to 40 teeth for your cassette.
  • You may use a double or triple crankset. All sizes of chainrings may be programmed in by you.
  • Requires a front wheel sensor and pickup but not a cadence sensor.
  • Cadence is virtual; Flight Deck calculates it from what gears you are in and how fast you are moving. Cadence is displayed even when you are coasting.
  • Easy to install. Takes little time to set up.
  • Data can be reviewed on or off the bike.
  • Single spoke pickup fits all round spoked wheels. Use our CY-55-56 magnet for non-spoked wheels.
  • A mounting kit is required and sold separately. The mounting kit must be matched to your handlebar mounted road or mountain shift levers.
  • Waterproof and lightweight. Only 52 grams!
  • Solidly backed with a two year manufacturers warranty from Shimano USA.
  • Warranty service and help with technical questions is available from Shimano USA in Irvine, California USA.

Are your STI levers 100% Flight Deck compatible?

All Shimano STI levers may be used with a Flight Deck computer. All functions except Virtual Cadence, Gear Indicator and the Gear Ratio display will work fine on any STI lever. To use Virtual Cadence, Gear Indicator and the Gear Ratio display plus all of the other functions your levers must be 100% Flight Deck compatible. An easy way to check for 100% compatibility is to:

1) Check for the words "Flight Deck" on the lever assembly.
2) Check for rubber buttons on the road STI lever hood(s). Do you have two buttons on the right and none on the left hood or one button on each hood?
3) Look inside the lever for a flat, ribbon like wire cable.

The ribbon cable is not always easy to see and a few older, pre-2000, levers did not have rubber buttons on the hoods. However all 100% Flight Deck compatible STI levers do have the "Flight Deck" script.

 
Shimano Flight Deck Road Mounting Kits
 
Road Wireless Kit
Flight Deck SM-6501 Wireless Kit for Road Bikes 
Road Mounting Kit: SM-6501 Wireless
  • Match this kit with Dura-Ace 7700-C, Tiagra ST-4400 and Sora ST-3300 and 3303 STI levers. All of these levers have a single button on each hood.
  • These kits also fit year 2001 to current Ultegra 6510 and 105 5500-CA STI levers. 2001 Ultegra and 105 STI levers came with a single button on EACH hood. Pre-2001 Ultegra and 105 9 speed STI levers have two buttons on the right hood and none on the left. Replace the two button hoods with one button hoods and you may use these kits with your pre-2001 Ultegra and 105 STI 9 speed levers.
  • The SM-6501 kit features a start/stop button on the left STI lever and a mode select button on the right STI lever.
  • Dura-Ace 7700-C, Tiagra ST-4400 and Sora ST-3300 and 3303 ST are new for the year 2000. They and all post 2000 8 and 9 speed STI levers have a sensor built into them that tells the Flight Deck computer what position chainring and cassette cog you are currently using. 7 speed Sora levers lack the built in sensor. Sora 8 speed STI levers have the sensor.
  • These kits will NOT work with older Dura-Ace 7700 9 speed, Dura-Ace 7400 8 speed, Ultegra or 105 8 speed STI levers.
  • The SM-6501 wireless kit comes with a 26.8 and a 31.8 mm oversized handlebar clamp.
  • ALL Flight Deck computer functions are useable with this kit.
  • In the wireless kit, SM-6501, wires still lead under your handlebar tape to the STI levers. However, the wires to the front wheel pickup were eliminated for a cleaner appearance. All computer functions remain the same. You may use the SM-6501 kit with an older, 6500, 6501 or current 6502 Flight Deck computer head.
  • Warranty service and help with technical questions is available from Shimano USA in Irvine, California USA. Call Shimano USA at 800-423-2420, FAX them at (949) 951-7519 or visit them at Shimano.com by clicking on the underlined text .

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
