 Inadvertent torture test September 2, 2010
JH (near Seattle)
The device was easy to install and works as advertised. I'd have preferred being able to see more than two functions at once, or be able to substitute cadence for speed, because it's kind of a pain to cycle through all the functions while riding. And it can be a little fussy about magnet/sensor orientation. But those are nits.
A few days ago I returned from a ride, stuck the head unit in my pocket - intending to record details in my log, then forgot to empty the pocket and threw the shirt into the laundry. It rode through the washer in the pocket, then came out of the pocket in the dryer and popped out on the floor when I opened the dryer door at the end od the cycle. It held its settings, still works fine, and it's really clean.
Great little cyclecomputer, killer price August 18, 2010

great computer to have, been using a wireless and sick of getting signal break up due to other wireless transmission around. Yes, the ziptie on carbon frame looks like poop but after a few hundred mile I don't miss it.
very accurate reading, the cadence is very decent(although not as fast refresh as more expensive model).
the only thing i can see improvement on is the size of read out, the lower portion of the display is getting really small, in low light or under glare it's a dodging game.
 Great Deal on Very Good Computer August 4, 2010

As mentioned in some of the other reviews the installation took longer than you might expect, but it is not that hard. The wires running down the down tube are unsightly as are the zip ties needed to hold those wires, but the computer itself is great and a great deal. I wish you could customize the data displayed in the scrolling field #2 as I don't care what the total odometer reading is. Other than that I love it. The display size of field #2 is small, but once on the bike and viewing it from a normal riding position it is just fine. It isn't too small for me. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive way to get cadence in a cyclometer.
Fantastic July 26, 2010

This is another great bike computer from cateye. I also own a cateye enduro 8. This bike computer has a lot of great features. The mount for this is great, it fits just about any handle bar perfectly and snuggly as it has a screw like zipper design. Another great feature is how it switches between the information by simply pressing down on the unit. It seems quite accurate as well. Its a great bike computer, if you need/want cadence get it!
Great for cadence, but better keep it on tight! June 23, 2010

I agree with the people who say that the refresh rate is a bit lacking on this computer. It misses some revolutions on the wheels so if you're looking for an accurate odometer, this isn't it.
The main problem that I have is losing the computer fairly easily. It fell off my bike a few times after hitting potholes. At other times, the contact with the mount gets iffy or lost if you're going over small bumps. Cateye's warranty is awesome though. I finally lost my computer on a century and they sent me a replacement one within 2 days. I've clamped the new one on and it hasn't fallen off yet. Clamping the computer on has helped avoid it from falling off, and it has also been able to keep pretty good contact.
Anyways, great entry level computer and the main selling point is the cadence. For $30, you can't go wrong. The next step up is the cateye double wireless w/ cadence and that's around $110-120...so yeah.
Suggestion for cadence magnet...the sticky pad on the cadence magnet piece is JUNK. I've managed to have the magnet magnetically stick on the inside of my left pedal and it gets very close to the sensor each time it passes so I get all cadence readings. I haven't lost the magnet yet and it seems to be the most reliable way to keep it on.
