 Great tool for a great price June 28, 2010
T. Burgess (Tulsa, OK)
The basics is all I wanted in a unit and this was a great price. I bought my first at the local shop, loved it. Bought another for my other road bike a few weeks later. Performed flawlessly so far. Yes, instructions are a little tough to read at first, couldn't figure out how to set the initial settings, but that is common I think, with many electronic devices. My only complaint is it has no light; I ride at 4 a.m. when I go to work and it is very dark. I have to wait till I go under a street light or traffic light to see my speed, and sometimes that doesn't work well. Other than that, no problems. I had some concerns that the magnet would gravitate toward the outer rim of the wheel, but so far it hasn't and I have taken it over 34mph.
An update, I have nearly 700 miles on these units, still performs great. I bought a third for my wife's bike; she doesn't do much riding, but she gets a kick out of see how fast she goes. Worth the price.
Excellent Bicycle Computer May 3, 2010

The Cateye Bicycle Computer worked exactly as advertised. The Cateye is not a confusing item for the bicycle and gives the information needed while biking. This was an inexpensive item that I feel was well worth the price.
 Basic bicycle computer April 29, 2010

The Cateye CC-VL510 is a basic bare-bones bicycle computer that handles the most basic functions. I bought it for my new commuter bike (Jamis Commuter 2) so I can track my miles ridden towards my annual goal. My 15 year old hybrid has a still functioning Avocet 15 bike computer and I didn't read the details on the Cateye Velo 5 and didn't realize I wasn't getting average speed and ride time...two features I also track for each ride. Not a really huge deal, for the price I can't complain.
The computer installed easily enough with two minor issues to note.
(1) The computer's components are largely held in place by zip-ties. You may want to make sure you have spare zip-ties on hand, I always find the ones that come from Cateye to be brittle and break easily.
(2) The instructions are hard to follow - the print size is tiny, there are a gazillion different languages on the fold-out poster and you end up having to rely on illustrations w/o any text for the installation. The drawings are sort of vague at best, but fortunately installation is a no-brainer. It doesn't matter how far up or down on the spoke you place the magnet (I thought it did, and had to Google this question because the instructions don't mention this.)
Overall I'm pleased, its about as basic as it gets. I hope it lasts 15 years and then some as my Avocet 15 is doing on my Specialized Crossroads.
Happy riding gang.

nice looking little thing April 8, 2010
Carlos Hernandez (Baldwin Park, CA)
i've been using mine for a week and so far i like it. it has a large speed display which helps me keep up the tempo when my legs start get tired.
installation was easy but routing the wire around the bike takes a bit of planning, some electrical tape took care of that.
i wish it was easy to reset the trip distance, so far i haven't been able to do it without resetting the whole thing. and yes the manual is a bit confusing.
but for the price i think it's a solid product!
Great cyclocomputer December 19, 2009

this is a very good computer, very simple to use and set up, also very accurate.
The one you will get is diffirent than the one pictured, it has a more modern look to it.
