Are all of these only calibrated up to 700c or are there any that go up to the magic number ?

The one i've got you enter the circumference of the the wheel in millimetres, so you could go up to 9999mm, and they ain't that big.

all bike computers should be calibrated to allow for tyre profiles. 29ers tyres vary, let alone from 700c road to 2.4" knobblies.

And OG is a pompous troll.

Surly are developing a new "computer" that will work with the even bigger29+ krampus platform. To negate the limitation of electronics (battery life, performance in sub zero temps, hell weather) it's a clock work based thing, bit like those baylis clock work radios. this means it will work beyond civilisation, beyond Lycra, and beyond strava, come the zombie invasion you will be just fine with the surly "SWUP" (surly wind up 'puter).
