Any views on VDO computers?

[Per LöWdin]

I am checking out the new VDO MC 1.0. If does what is claimed it should be pretty good. But it got
severely trashed at http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Computer/product_20730.shtml Is it as bad as these
reviews say?

i'll second that. i had the older VDO 8.0C (wired, cadence, no backlight) .. actually i still have
it. great, no problems, very intuitive. it appears, fyi, to be the same as the performance axion
8.0C (just rebadged and in a different colour, the VDOs were yellow).

here's the equivalent axiom ($25).

Never had a problem with it. The new models have a completely different mounting system
(twist-click) and look nice but I don't know how they perform.

I have a VDO C10+ on my road bike. It eats batteries fairly quickly (every year), but I
understand this is normal for wireless computers. No problems for me. It's a very reliable, well
made piece of kit.

Regards,

Suzy

I use a fairly old VDO Aero wireless and have been doing so for a number of years. It doesn't give
me any problems and is fairly reasonable on battery usage.

Thanks, Suzy, John It seems to a great computer but i got worried as some people who reviewed seemed
to have had lots of problems. Perhaps the reviews were posted by competitiors: make it appear as if
it breaks almost by just looking at it. Per
