Cateye Cordless mounting

Geoff Pearson said:

that was the idea - but can I buy proper screw on
mountings for it and the sender?

If you find some, please let me know - there aren't any,
according to Evans. And watch for railway power lines - they
interfere with the transmission and you'll find that the max
speed for your trip was 130 Km/h

What's horrid about it? They're quick to fit, and, once
the ends are trimmed, look neat. They're easy to remove
(pen-knife) and cheap to replace. Altogether a better
solution, I would say.

They are not tight, adjustable or removable. Cheap and nasty
- luckily the Cateye 2 mount is still available so I'll get
one from Wiggle.

Surely no train has gone that fast in Britain since Isabard

I agree with entirely Simon. To get them tight just pull the
zip tie with a pair of pliers. And they are very neat - with
no screw to lose in the grass.

I think you would be wasting your money, but that's your
choice if you prefer the older model.

Uh, no, it's just that the EM field around the power lines
is "sensed" by the receiving unit as coming from the sensor,
with interesting results.

The first time I cycled to work with the new cordless
thingamajig, I left the bike near the server room UPS and at
the end of the day it claimed it'd done over 600 Km at an
average speed of 110 Km/h...

Beats getting fit on the turbo trainer then ;-)

Untill I read it, i didn't know that you could slip a small
screwdriver blade into the clicky bit and undo them.

I know you can do that - but you can't get them tight.
