Accurate and stylish
I’ve ridden close to 400 miles since I purchased this Cateye cycle computer and been quite pleased with it, but I didn’t want to submit a review until I had a chance to measure the computer’s accuracy. On my previous bike, I used a Trek cycle computer (wired). The distance measurement the two computers gave for my home to office commute were slightly off. I didn’t know which one to believe. So the other day I rode along the Mt. Vernon trail, and when I passed mile marker 17, I checked the Cateye’s odometer. When I passed mile marker 18, the odometer was accurate to the hundredth decimal place. I was very impressed.
Raves:
- Accuracy
- Size, style and installation (looks great mounted to the stem)
- ClickTec ease of use (with the Trek I had to fumble with buttons along the top and bottom)
- No ugly wires
Rants:
- Requires 2 batteries
- One time I hit a big bump and the angle of the wheel sensor changed enough so that the magnet and it began to hit each other
2/2/08 UPDATE: The tab on the bracket broke off when I popped the Strada out. I blame the winter cold stressing the plastic. I reported the breakage to Cateye, and then sent me a full parts kit (for mounting a sensor and bracket on a second bike) free of charge. Excellent customer service.
Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Great item
This product is all they say. The best part is when I called the mailer
for some help, as the product wasn’t working at first. I actually spoke with a human!! The advise was right on the money. I couldn’t install it on the right upper fork, so I put it on the bottom instead. The sensor is very senative when aligning it with the magnet. I love it so much, I’m thinking about purchasing another for my husband.

Nice and easy
Read Very nice product, small and compact, very easy to navigate from differents screens just a click of the "screen" (Hide-Taste.) The installation in minutes without tools, you just need common sense and the fact sheet. The batteries are very cheap and easy to find them. It comes with all the features you need to ride in one. Do not waste your time looking for another bike computer, this is a very good choice.
