"Had some problems"

Ive had the CatEye Enduro 8 for several years now, and ive had a little trouble with it. 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.

I didnt have any trouble putting it on my bike, and I really like all the features on it. I rode my bike to work every day, though snow and heavy rain, and the CatEye held up really well. When it was raining hard, I wrapped the display in saran wrap to make sure water didnt mess it up.

If it didnt have that annoying problem with it sometimes, ide give it 5 stars. 3 stars

"Wonderful for the price!"

I've owned this for over a year and have never had a problem. 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

"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

"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

"Defective +++"

It came with a dead battery, I got a fresh one, it checks at 3v with a DC voltmeter, but only parts of the digits turn on. Since I am in the Philippines now, returning it is economically impossible. BUT I can get some satisfaction by removing the battery and smashing the computer with a hammer!!! 1 star
