Cateye Wireless Strada or ?

I'm using a Vetta RT88 and it is fairly good. I really like the Planet Bike
computers but their Wireless sending unit is a bit on the large and bulky
side. If you don't mind a wire look at a Planet Bike 9.0.

I'm going to break down and finally buy a bike computer. I don't need
cadence just something basic. What else is worth looking at besides the
Cateye Strada? thanks.

Dear RS,

WalMart and similar stores sell two-button inexpensive wired and
wireless cyclocomputers with all the basic functions--current speed,
total distance, trip distance, max speed, average speed, time of day,
trip time, mph or km/h, roll-out adjustable from 2124 mm.

The ~$10 wired has worked fine for me for a couple of years. I like
the trip odometer that reads in thousandths of a mile.

I'd be surprised if the ~$20 wireless didn't work just as well.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

Beware the Cat-Eye. I don't know how the Strada is, but the
Micro I recently got comes with wordless instructions; all pictures
and symbols. I have yet to set the damn thing up, but all the
hieroglyphics look virtually incomprehensible. If I had known about
this in advance, I never would have made this purchase at all.

The Sigma is pure vanilla and well worth the money. It is reliable if not
especially interesting.

Go on line for worded instructions but the Micro we have sold had
worded instructions. Did yours come in a labeled box of plastic OEM
type bag?

Agreed, really simple, small and works great.
The only thing about it that annoys me is that when you stop, the
"elapsed time" counter stops a couple of minutes later.
It does start up again when you start again, but it's really a measure
of "riding time" rather than a stop watch, and this throws out the
avg. speed too.
It's not a huge problem or anything, but I'd prefer if it worked the
other way, with an explicit "start" and "stop" button.

bookieb.

Hmm, Walmart and $10. That may work for me and I'll check it out, thanks.
