A good starter,

This review is from: CatEye Strada Cadence Wired Computer (Sports)
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 function Con'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 backlight On the whole, a good unit to start with - although I think I will go for a wireless unit next time around.

Great until it stopped working,

This review is from: CatEye Strada Cadence Wired Computer (Sports)
I've had three of these and they worked perfectly well and were really useful.At the moment two of them have stopped working, one is less than 12 months old. The computer part is fine, but the cable and sensor harness doesn't last, even on bikes that live indoors in the dry and are only used once a week in dry sunny weather. The computers have a 2 year warranty but the cable harness is only 12 months. Replacement cables cost £20 or about 2/3rds the costs of the whole kit. I'm really disappointed with them, I cannot recommend them.

Neat,
This review is from: CatEye Strada Cadence Wired Computer (Sports)
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.
