I have recently taken up cycling to compete in a triathlon. i decided it would be a good idea to get a cycle computer that would show me my cadence.My main issue was trying to find a cycle computer that offered wireless function and also offered cadence for under £40 quid. The cateye strada double comes in at roughly twice the price of this unit and the only extra feature is that it is wireless. I therefore decided to save some money and opt for the wired version instead. On the whole, I'd say the wired version has some advantages over the wireless. For example, with a wired computer, you get more accurate readings, faster update of the figures,and much better battery life (I have been told that wireless cadence devices eat batteries relentlessly). On the down side, you do get long wire that you have to somehow fit neatly on your bike.I fitting my wire in such a way that it isn't even noticeable by mounting the speed sensor on the back of the chainstay. The downside is that the cadence sensor has to be mounted to the front of the chain stay, and I had real issues getting the magnet to be close enough to get a reading (it can't be more than about 4mm away from the sensor, which is really hard to do when you are mounting a magnet on the cranks with a cable tie which slides up and down the crank the whole time). Then hiding the wire up underneath the down tube is really hard too. I went for a strip of red electrical tape that blends in with the paintwork on my bike. Once the wiring nightmare is over, then the unit is actually very good and packed full of features. Its just big enough to sit comfortably on your handlebars without taking up too much room.By the time i'd finished fitting this, it was dark outside. I was going to take it for a test ride but then I realised it hasn't got a backlight. Another let down.Pro's+ Lots of features for the price+ Renowned name+ Pretty cheap+ Batteries will last/more accurate readings with wires/no interference+ Easy click to change functionCon's- Wires are a pain in the arse to fit- Candence sensor and magnet on the crank is ridiculously hard to get within the 4mm range- No backlightOn the whole, a good unit to start with - although I think I will go for a wireless unit next time around.

This is a very neat and compact cycle computer. I got the wired version because I read the reviews about the wireless version using a lot of batteries. One battery is enough and it's easy to change. The wires aren't that bad at all.I put the computer on a new bike and I managed to hide the wires either under light reflecting tape that I was installing at the same time or wrapped around the brake cable. The wire is just about the right length. I have a medium frame 'Giant' road bike. However, I did have trouble installing the cadence magnet on the crank. I couldn't get the magnet within 3 mm of the sensor. The rubber spacer supplied was not thick enough so I had to find a thick rubber washer which I cut down to match the dimensions of the magnet.To stop it moving I put some double sided sticky tape on the cut down washer.The computer in itself is very slim and low profile. It fits on the stem extension almost unnoticeably. In operation, there are no buttons to press. You simply press the whole lower part of the computer which presses a switch underneath. This makes it quite easy to change function without really looking. You can quickly learn how many presses will arrive at the function you want.I bought this computer mainly for the cadence function as the one on my previous bike didn't have it. This computer has a mileage counter which never goes back to 0, two other distance (trip) functions, trip time, average speed, maximum speed and cadence.The two distance functions are quite handy. If you were doing a trip covering several days, the distance 1 function could cover your distance for each day and the distance 2 function could cover the whole journey lasting several days.Some functions are linked together. Distance 1, trip time, average speed and maximum speed are all linked together. If you zero any one of these then the others are also reset. You have to reset distance 2 individually.I gave it only 4 stars because it's quite expensive and the functions are fairly limited. Temperature and an estimate of calories used would have been useful. These functions are on a really cheap Lidl computer I have - though no cadence!

I've had one of these for at least 2 years now; and am ordering another since I took it off my road bike to put it on my new recumbent trike. The wiring harness is long enough, and the neat and unobtrusive speed sensor and cadence sensor are separate so even on a long recumbent the cadence sensor reaches the front of the frame and the speed sensor can reach the rear or one of the front wheels). I did have a wireless set-up - not cateye - on the trike at first, but the signals were unreliable, the lag very poor (what's the point of a cadence measurement which tells me what my cadence was 3 seconds ago), it needed 3 batteries which wore out quickly,and the big obtrusive sensors were always getting bumped out of position.This unit is easy to set up, has a good display, has very little lag, is easy to switch through the various display options,and the single battery seems to last about 1 year of regular use. OK it is basic in that you can't download info to your computer, it doesn't record average cadence, and of course it does not include a Heart Rate Monitor or temperature gauge or barometer or calories consumed or average air speed of the african swallow. But it gives the most useful information accurately (speed, distance, average speed, maximum speed, actual cadence, odometer, trip time, and clock). It auto-starts when the bike moves and pauses when it stops. In short: it works.Another reviewer has apparently had problems with longevity of the unit. All I can say is that mine has proved to be very robust and reliable. Indeed I have an old Cateye Astrale unit which has been on my mountain bike for nearly 20 years and is still going strong (as is the steel framed bike - steel is real?)

I bought this a wwhile ago and wanted to wait before reviewing it. As the title says if you dont fancy spending that bit more for a garmin unit then this is a very good budget choice.There are several modes, trip, cadence, total distance, avg speed they are the numbers at the bottom of the screen, but the main one i use is the cadence (as shown in the picture) as i used to tend to stay in a gear or two higher than i should have, my RPM was around about 70 and have found it much easier siting at 85-90 this has allowed me to cycle faster and further. The big numbers are of course your current speed the little arrow on the left side (looking at the picture)of the unit shows whether you are going above your average spped or will point down when going slower.Installation took about 15 mins, and there are plenty of zip ties to keep the wires tidy, the handlebar mount holds the computer secure and sturdily. As this has a cadence sensor there are two sensors to fit, one to the rear part of the frame for speed, distance etc (the magnet is attachedto the rear wheel) and the other sensor fits nearer to the cranks with a magnet attached to the left crank to measure the cadence. The instructions are pretty clear but for me were not required.I think i paid around £35 for this and i consider it to be great value. There is a wireless version avliable but is about £15 more expensive. If you dont mind the wires then theres no need to spend more.

Firstly I am no expert on cycling and its associated equipment. Detailed reviews will be available elsewhere, I offer my experiences as a novice user.Delivery was crisp, no issues at all.Fitting was not difficult but did require a little planning to get the product looking good. If you are not mechanically minded then ask a friend to help, good fitting is the key to good performance.In use the computer does all I expected it to do. I decided early that I would purchase a cadence computer and that would be the key measurement for my improvement, and after a few weeks I am reassured that I made the right choice. And here is a little downside, and I mean little, for the computer is surprisingly small.The main display is speed and cadence can be chosen as the secondary display. I can read the large display in most daylight conditions, I cannot read the small display when in shadow.Here is not the place to review all the facilities, you are able to research them for yourselves. Already I am considering the computer I really want, yet I in no way regret my purchase; I have learnt much from using this computer, and in addition to improving my cycling it is guiding me towards where to spend my money effectively in the future.Be aware of the size, especially those who wear glasses, and you will be fine. I cannot mark it down because of my aging eyes, so 5-stars it is.

I bought this as I wanted to monitor my cadence and found this to be the cheapest instrument on the market with this feature. As I have a smartphone with the Garmin and Strava apps, I didn't need all the extra features the Garmin Edge range offers and this meets my needs at a fraction of the cost.It was easy to install with no problems although as another reviewer has mentioned, I needed to put a spacer (not supplied) behind the magnet on the pedal crank to place it within 3mm of the sensor on the lower frame stay.When in use, there is a 1-2 second delay before the cadence reading updates a change of pace which, is fine for me. It's simple to change the output reading mode by a single press of the screen and if you press & hold for a few seconds,it resets the figures for the next ride. For easier than my previous speedo where it had two buttons that you had to press in a certain sequence!I'm very pleased with this smart little riding accessory as it does what I want it to do at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Having both the wired and the wireless, I have to say that if you don't mind the cables on the bike the wired is much easier to use. My wireless one is always getting 'knocked' when I stop or put the bike on a bike rack and I often don't notice until i'm riding. I then have to wait for a stopping point to adjust the unit so it aligns with the magnets again. The wireless one also uses two batteries and once one of them gets below a certain power level the whole thing stop working. You then have to go through the arcane 'sync' process again to get it working (about once a year, just long enough to forget how to do it).So all in all I prefer the wired one.However I think these units will soon be obselete as a GPS unit can give you all the same information except for cadence.

Only used it once so far, but initial impressions are good. As it's a wired product, it took a while to install, but the kit did include everything I needed, just two gripes in the installation, the instructions tell you to install the main sensor to the rear wheel, had to install mine at the front as the rear metalwork is too far from the wheel spokes, in addition, it would be nice if Cateye included more zip ties to allow for mistakes.Use of the computer was positive, it was easy to set up, and, when compared to my own gps watch, it was accurate. I found the Cadence readings really useful for improving my fitness.In all, a really good and we'll priced product.

Bought this for a small bike, needing to have the wheel sensor on the back wheel for use on a turbo trainer. Fitting was a bit involved as the chain stay is too close to the spokes for the magnet and wheel sensor to fit between, and the chain stay and crank are too far apart for cadence sensor to work. But with the wheel sensor now on the seat stay, and the cadence sensor padded out a bit, it all seems to work, and the cables are long enough. Fitting would have been far easier on my old steel frame as the tubes are so much narrower.Set up is fairly easy and all the functions seem to work; the rider is might pleased with it.

This is quite a simple cycling computer and is straightforward to set up and use. It has large, clear display. Unlike previous models it doesn't have an option to start/stop recording and runs while your wheels are turning so you can't time yourself from start line to finish line and get an accurate average speed/time. I have found the cadence measure a bit iffy and the contacts on the handlebar can be temperamental at times after a few months of use - particularly if I switch between screens on the move. I don't tend to remove the computer between rides so this could become more of a problem for riders who do.

I have cateye bike computers on two bikes and have always found them to be accurate and very easy to toggle between displays. I bought this one specifically to fit my bike on my turbo trainer so I can monitor my cadence or rpm. As ever with cateye computers it is relatively simple to set up. My only grumble is that the fittings that came with it left far too much space between the sensor on the chainstay and the magnet on the spoke. I had to use a number of rubber shims from other bike fittings underneath the sensor to get it close enough to the magnet to register.

The Strada is easy to use (you just press the back of the unit rather than buttons), however the setup does take a bit of time. Having fitted both wired and the wireless version, I would spend the extra on the wireless everytime! The wired can be a faff to fit and timeconsuming. In contrast the wireless takes 5 minutes!The functionality for both units is exactley the same, so save your pennies, get the wireless and you be happy as a pig in muck. If the cash is short go for the wired, but set aside some time to fit and set up!

This is a neat, compact and well made piece of equipment. Fitting was fairly simple, although fixing the cadence magnet in place has been an ongoing issue - the cable tie just does not go tight enough to keep the magnet in place (due to the concave nature of the crank arms on my bike). However, when it is lined up correctly it works well. The speed and cadence readings seem to be a little bit slow in updating and the lack of a backlight means you won't be able to read it in the dark, but the clicktec interface is nifty.

Absolutely great - for £20 you can't go wrong with this.I converted my Honda XR400R from a dirt bike to a supermoto, and needed a new speedometer due to the smaller rim circumference. Enter the Cateye Strada!I was initially skeptical that a speedo designed for a bicycle would be suitable for a motorbike, but it works a treat - just enter the circumference data and rig it up to the front wheel with the assistance of cable ties. Works up to 90mph (on closed roads) so just the job if you need a quick fix.

I've had a few Cateye cadence computers over the years, this is the latest version. For the price there is little else to compete if you need cadence. Take your time to fit all the wiring and sensors in the first place (very fiddly) and they'll be rock solid in all weathers/temperatures for the life of the computer, unlike wireless systems. I haven't had a cat eye cadence computer (used to be the Astrale) fail yet and that must be going back well over ten years, including mountain bikes.
