If you mean a computer that tracks time, miles, avg speed etc, just go to
any (most) Trek dealer. They should have the numbers in a handy book so they
can look them up. In many computers, the 'magic number' which controls all
that stuff is the centimeters the wheel travels in 1 revolution. You can
measure that yourself and plug in the number; ymmv.

| ...or call your local shop and get the numbers over the phone.
i think TREK also has an 800 number for assistance like this.

| The easiest and most accurate number is the one you measure yourself.

I rolled my front tire over a tape measure and converted inches
to cm.

| The most accurate way is to inflate to riding pressure and make a chalk mark on
the tire. Then, under your riding weight, roll the bike one wheel revolution,
and measure the center-to-center distance of the chalk marks. I did this and
then rode a measured mile and I was exact to the 1/100th of a mile.
