 Works great, easy to install and no wires |

I have an earlier model Cateye that has worked well with no problems. It had nice extra features. So with my new Trek road bike I wanted a dual wireless cadence computer. I tried two other brands and they were both problematic. One had two separate transmitters with the cadence continually dropping out. The other brand had a split wired cadence and wireless speed sensor. It does not work very well riding along roads with parallel powerlines. I was ready to give up but decided to give the Cateye a try since I had good success with Cateye products and this model had good reviews even though it is on the upside of pricey.
I'm glad I did as it works great and the dual wireless sensor mount is slick with both sensors contained in the same unit which mounts on the rear lower tube right behind the down tube, (see manual). |
Cateye nailed it with this Double Wireless device!!

I was hesitant at first to pay more that $40 for a bike computer but it had everything I needed; speed, cadence, distance, etc...etc... all in a completely wireless unit. I really love having all those ugly wires and that nasty tape off my bike frame. It feels and looks much cleaner now.
It works like a charm, with a very interactive display and you can have some choice in what is displayed where on the unit. There are a lot of features so it is going to take you a few minutes to get it all set up and mounted, and it took me about three rides to really figure out how to navigate all the different menus, but I think that is half the fun...playing with your new toys!
Overall, I love this thing! Not a single complaint...and I highly recommend this to any semi-serious riders and triathletes. |
Great product, great price!

I put this computer on my new road bike and it's perfect for "spinning" or riding on the road. It's probably not good enough for serious riders, but I'm a weekend warrior and I'm riding short rides (30-40 miles). The numbers are big enough to read for the critical functions (time, speed, distance and cadence) and I tend to leave the computer alone while I'm in the saddle. I could see it as a little difficult to press the 'enter' button (bottom edge) while riding since it's close to the bar/neck on my setup. [...]
For "spinning" with a stationary trainer and video, the cadence is really handy (although the LED segments are a little small) since most of the videos say "90 rpm for this segment". I have an Enduro 8 on my mountain bike and both are very easy to setup, use and get data from while riding and after the ride. The only thing this is missing is the heart rate monitor, but you could get a polar or similar monitor for that if necessary, however I've heard that it might cause RF interference with this model (non 2.4Ghz) of bike computer.
Installing the computer on my bike was very easy, the hardest part was mounting the handlebar clip since I didn't read the instructions so I didn't extend the clip before trying to screw it tight, otherwise it took about 15 mins, including setting up the screens/units. It was set by default to my tire size (700). |
Awesome cyclocomputer

The CatEye Strada is an excellent wireless cyclocomputer. It's the first I've owned, but I read many reviews of cheaper models which often complained about accuracy and calibration. I entered my tire information into the Strada and measured its accuracy, and it was spot-on. It has a nice large screen but the computer doesn't take up much space, and it's easy to scroll through the displays (time, distance, max speed, avg. speed, etc.) with one touch. Installation was pretty simple also.
Overall this is a great model and I highly recommend it. CatEye seems to make the best cyclocomputers, and it's worth a slightly higher price to get one that you'll be happy with. |
