CatEye

Micro Wireless Cycling Computer

One of the gold standard wireless commuters. Only down side is the extra battery to deal with, however no ugly hanging wires, and all the best features that are easy to use.

This is a great computer. Good basic functions for time, distance, Avg. MPH, etc... Moves easily between multiple bikes including a one button switch to use on one bike (Road) and then switch to a another (MTB) with different size wheels. Easy to read display with light... Can't beat it for the price.

Esay install. Setting up for a 29er called for a bit of math due to the install book not having many options for them. I am sure that this will change in time.

I was using a Sigma 1606L and I grew tired of always pushing the wrong button (it has 4). I have always had good luck with Cat Eye computers and I wanted wireless so I jumped. I have been very satisfied so far. Good readability (although the LCD viewing angle is a bit more critical than a few computers I have used). I really like that there is just one button for cycling through the various modes. Reseting data is a bit awkward since the second button is on the front but it's not a big deal. Some users tagged this unit as 'bulky.' Not sure what their frame of reference is but I don't find it bulky at all. Any smaller and the display would be hard to read/buttons hard to push. Note if you use handlebar-mounted GPS: My Garmin GPS interferes with the computer's receive. If I turn on the GPS, the computer will not register movement. If I turn the GPS off, it resumes normal operation immediately. Ability to set starting ODO is a much appreciated feature since I wanted to preserve miles ridden on the other computer (I reset ODO at the end of each year). Cadence feature found on other computers not missed. My legs know exactly how fast they are spinning.

This works really well. You should buy it.

Let me start off by saying that I could not check the "accurate" box for this item simply because I haven't measured it's readings. Yes, the setup was tricky for someone who has never used or set up a bike computer, like me. The chart for measuring and inputting the correct tires size was not sufficient for my needs as I ride a 29'er and had to go online to pull up the correct tire size translation for the formula that this thing uses. You also have to the wheel spoke sensor VERY close to the signal recepticle on the bike fork for it work - I MTB and this has yet to be a problem. I have crashed once since I've had this on the bike (readout is stem-mounted) and was surprised that neither part had to be re-adjusted. Overall, I am VERY happy with this purchase and for the price, this little computer does everything I wanted it to.
