I have been using a Cateye Astrale 8 for a couple of months, and and
generally satisfied with it, especially the cadence feature. I would
have liked it if they could display at least 3 things simultaneously
(like on my older Cateye Mity 3) - say, speed, cadence, and one more -
so I would not have to change displays very often.
Searching through this groups archive, I see that many other people had
my first problem - of the computer popping out of its harness when even
mild pressure is applied. I took this to my LBS, and they just used a
knife to deepen the locking notch on the computer, so the catch on the
cradle went deeper. No problems with it falling out since then -
problem completely solved!
The other problem just developed. The button for changing the display
has just about quit. I cannot change the display with my fingers any
more, and if I use something harder, like a key or pen, and try really
hard, I can just about rotate through the displays.
It looks like the switch is broken/loose. Is there any simple way to
fix this, or should I just take this back to the store, or call Cateye
for a warranty replacement?
Thanks,
Atri
