Can you tell us what basic functions you want and whether you want wireless or not?

I'm thinking of some wireless computers, with functions like: Speedometer, Trip 1 & 2, Total distance, Clock, Elapsed time and average speed.Mulger bill wrote:This is the right place for this sort of post Wilson.

Mine does this but it's due to my light interfering with the wireless signal.DavidS wrote:I've been having trouble with my, around a few month old, Cateye wired Strada of late. It keeps dropping the speed (no cadence). I was riding home tonight and it was reading zero for about a KM and has done this on and off for a couple of weeks. Very irritating. I cleaned the contacts between the head unit and the cradle but to no avail. Any ideas where the problem might be?

When I have the light on flash it sometimes pauses at the one speed for a while, or just sits at 0.
It's ok when the light is on solid beam though.
Edit: Derp, just realised this is a wired unit you are talking about.......

I put a Cateye Velo wireless on the missus bike and while it works fine, the maximum size of cable tie you can use on the mounts seem a little on the thin side.

I've got a cadence wired which lost the cadence. Investigation showed that the cadence connection pin in the cradle had sunk a bit, so no connection. If I put a bit of foil in there I can sometimes get it to work. I need a new harness. Haven't bothered to buy one yet as speed still works.DavidS wrote:I've been having trouble with my, around a few month old, Cateye wired Strada of late. It keeps dropping the speed (no cadence).
