Amazon.com Product Description
Sleek, lightweight, and elegant and free of wires, this slim wireless bicycle computer displays current speed, maximum speed (up to 65 mph), average speed, trip distance, second-trip distance, total distance, elapsed time, and 12/24-hour clock. The dual trip-distance functions keep track of intermediate or multi-day distances. For ease of use even on rough terrain, simply pressing the bottom of the screen toggles through the computer's modes. The selected mode displays at the bottom of the screen, while current speed appears at the top in large, easy-to-read numerals. An up/down arrow compares current speed to average speed. Other features include dual tire size, programmable odometer, pace arrow, automatic start/stop, and automatic power-saving mode. The computer runs on two CR2032 batteries (included), one for the head unit and the other for the sensor. Maximum wireless transmission distance is 27 inches. The computer's tool-free bracket mounts quickly on virtually any handlebar or stem. The tool-free sensor mounts easily to the fork. Like all Cateye bicycle computers, this one is ultrasonically welded and water-resistant. Specifications: - Handlebar mount size: 22-31.8 mm
- Fork mount size: 11-55 mm
- Batteries: CR2032 (two included; for head unit and sensor)
- Maximum wireless transmission distance: 27" (70 cm)

 Simple-to-use Bike computer July 26, 2010
RKtect
So far so good! I like that all you have to do is push the bottom of the screen to cycle through the different settings. The only complaint I have is that it's not more customizable; I don't need some of the settings, and it takes several clicks to get from distance to time, which takes my eyes off the road.
 poor design July 20, 2010

The computer is great, good functions, but the mounting accessories are horrible. Tie wraps to tie the unit down? Give me a break! Also once the computer is clipped in its holder, it only takes a bump for it to pop out. I rode to work and wend through a pot hole a the computer went off flying. It hit the ground and well a car rolled right over it and it was smashed. No security when you clip it in its holder. BAD DESIGN!
 Great Computer July 19, 2010

Overall, this is a great computer and does everything advertised and does it well. Unfortunately, I paid full retail price at my bike shop (aboout $70) and from the reviews, it seems like a better deal to buy it online and home install (I had it installed when I bought my bike). The shop said to expect the battery to last about a year, depending on usage. The computer fits right on the stem so it doesn't get in the way on the handlebars. The display is quite large and easy to read on the ride. It's also easy to reset -- just have to remember to do that before the day starts. The dual trip odometer is also a really nice feature that you might not think you need, but it's great to have to mark separate milestones. Flipping through funtions is also easy at the touch of a button, but it takes some time to get used to the display order when surfing.
One thing to be careful about is the alignment of the wireless receiver on the fork and the wheel. I had my bike shipped and the computer wasn't working when I took it for a test ride. I went back to the shop and their guys made sure the magnet and the reader were close enough together to send the signal to the computer (took less than 5 min for them to diagnose and fix). It's worked like a charm ever since.
The one function I wish it had were cadence. If I had done a little more research on bike computers, I would have gone with the double wireless Strada from Cateye CatEye Strada Double Wireless Bicycle Computer - CC-RD400DW. Also, the auto-scrolling functionality offered on the Nerd computers would be a great addition on the next version for Cateye. However, given the poor reviews of accuracy for almost all other brands in the same price range, I'd take a Cateye any day.
Does what it's supposed to do July 16, 2010

I'm new to cycling and got this item to re-affirm how slow I was. Well, it does a great job of reminding me how pitiful I really am every time I get on the bike. The bright side is the tool inspires me to work harder. The downside is I wish I would've spent more to get one with a heart monitor and power meter. Fit, finish, functionality are great. It took a little longer than usual (30 min) getting the head unit to pick up on the wheel transponder. The instructions say that both pieces need to be in correct alignment for it to work, so it was my faultly setup that caused the problem. I've never had anything like this before, so I can't compare it with anything. Overall, I am happy with this purchase.
worst setup yet July 15, 2010
