Sometimes it will not get out of the stand-by or resting mode. I will keep spinning the tire fast, and tinkering with it, and it takes sometimes 15 min to get it to start working, but it always gets going again. This happens when i have to take the display part off my bike when I lock up my bike in a rack, and I dont want it to get stolen. I got a free replacment wire, and it was good for a while, but now its doing it again. It only happens once in a while. Im not sure if it was a bad wire, or if its just that taking the display part on and off makes the connections get dirty, or not lined up just right again.

Some of the other reviews sound as if they were written by morons eg: "The instructions were written in twelve languages...geez." That's a good thing you dope...simply read the English, if you can. I just upgraded to the wireless version simply for vanity reasons (I didn't like the look of the wire wrapped around my fork) and, again, haven't had a problem. You can buy this and be happy with it. 5 stars The following review received 3 helpful votes out of 11 total votes: Review Date: 2006-06-11 "difficulty setting it up" Just trying to get it to read in MPH instead of KM/H is a challenge...the instructions come in 12 (twelve!) different languages...geez. The instructions are not user friendly in my opinion....so don't really know how to rate it yet...will revise this review after (and when) I learn how to use it...Probably gonna take it back to the bike shop where i bought it to have them help me... 4 stars The following review received 3 helpful votes out of 11 total votes: Review Date: 2006-07-05 "ditto on setup" you think the guy was kidding about not being able to get it to show in mph - that's no joke. the interface is not intuitive at all, and once you've lost the manual get ready for some fun trying to remember how to reset the mileage. 3 stars The following review received 3 helpful votes out of 4 total votes: Review Date: 2006-08-19 "They changed their directions!" My CatEye Enduro 8 was stolen along with my bike a couple of weeks ago. I have just spent the past hour trying to figure out how to program the same model of computer, thinking that I must have been drinking way too much the past year and a half, if I can't figure out how to program this thing, even with instructions. Fortunately for me, I found the instructions that I got 2 years ago with my original computer. It actually tells you how to set the computer to count miles instead of kilometers. So if you are frustrated by the new directions, try clearing the computer by pushing the Mode, Start/Stop, and Set buttons all at the same time. This is when you select your measurement unit, by pushing the Mode button. If you want to input the reading of the currently used odometer, keep pressing the Mode button for two seconds and input the reading. If you want to start the odometer from zero, push the Start/Stop button. Why did they change their directions? I, too, was ready to take the Enduro 8 back to the bike shop and have them install it for me, for $20. Could this be the motivation for the terrible new instructions? I hope not. 2 stars | |
