My Cateye Cordless 2 has been a bit unreliable of late (actually for some months, notably failing to indicate in cold or wet weather - luckily Britain is always warm and dry, right?) and today the sender unit disintegrated on the way to work.
So I treated myself to a shiny new Astrale, which was less than a tenner dearer than a replacement sender unit for the Cordless. £26 from the local bike shop with CTC discount - could have saved a quid and bought direct from the CTC shop, but with no P&P and not having to wait for delivery I'm happy enough.
Any bets on how long it'll be before I pile into the back of some stationary cage while watching the cadence display?

No, but I'd take bets on you watching the cadence (and everything else) display disappear the next time you ride in heavy rain, unless you wrap the computer and mount in clingfilm...
I had that problem with my first ever computer (a G-Pulse - sold as having 5 functions, the fifth being that the box it came in served as a desk tidy). But I've used an Astrale for 2 years in all weathers with no problems at all (well, except the time I snapped a cable and had to solder it back together, but that hardly counts).
