"Accurate and stylish"

I've ridden close to 400 miles since I purchased this Cateye cycle computer and been quite pleased with it, but I didn't want to submit a review until I had a chance to measure the computer's accuracy. On my previous bike, I used a Trek cycle computer (wired). The distance measurement the two computers gave for my home to office commute were slightly off. I didn't know which one to believe. So the other day I rode along the Mt. Vernon trail, and when I passed mile marker 17, I checked the Cateye's odometer. When I passed mile marker 18, the odometer was accurate to the hundredth decimal place. I was very impressed.

Raves:
- Accuracy
- Size, style and installation (looks great mounted to the stem)
- ClickTec ease of use (with the Trek I had to fumble with buttons along the top and bottom)
- No ugly wires

Rants:
- Requires 2 batteries
- One time I hit a big bump and the angle of the wheel sensor changed enough so that the magnet and it began to hit each other

2/2/08 UPDATE: The tab on the bracket broke off when I popped the Strada out. I blame the winter cold stressing the plastic. I reported the breakage to Cateye, and then sent me a full parts kit (for mounting a sensor and bracket on a second bike) free of charge. Excellent customer service. 4 stars

"Nice and easy"

Very nice product, little and compact, very easy to read it and to scroll from differents screens just one click of the "screen" (Hide button.)

The installation is in minutes, no tools you'll need, only common sense and the instruction sheet.
The batteries are very easy to find them and cheap to.

It comes with all the features you need in a ride.

Don't waste your time looking for an other cyclocomputer, this is a very good choice.

5 stars

"Parada for Strada"

Good product, only problem I had since installing was it stopped working.
This was because the mount for some reason did not align. I made the necessary adjustment and since then there has been no problem.
I keep acturate records for my rides and the Strada meets my demands. I am glad I purchased this product and may buy the kit so I can use it also on my second bike. 5 stars

"Sleek and easy to use"

I was surprised by how slim this computer is. Once you initialize it, all you have to do is press the unit to cycle through the functions. I like that it starts automatically, since I usually forgot to start my old one. I like the pace arrows, which are a motivator if you are riding for time. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to stop the average pace calculation and keep riding at a relaxed pace once I'm done with my course. I just have to check the numbers before my warmdown route starts. It installed easily on the bar stem, which I liked better than on the bar. Some trial and error needed on the sensor, but in all it took about 30 minutes at the most to install. 4 stars

"Great item"

This product is all they say. The best part is when I called the mailer
for some help, as the product wasn't working at first. I actually spoke with a human!! The advise was right on the money. I couldn't install it on the right upper fork, so I put it on the bottom instead. The sensor is very senative when aligning it with the magnet. I love it so much, I'm thinking about purchasing another for my husband. 5 stars
