from Brisbane, Australia Date Reviewed: May 14, 2011 Strengths: Durable and Reliable. I have used the MC100 in flooding rains and enjoyable sunlight and it has not failed once! A great computer that does the basics well Weaknesses: Backlight! what backlight? the backlight is normally needed during night riding. Good luck not crashing your ride trying to find the button, and then trying to read the display. Not sure who allowed this feature to be added and be so ineffectual at Cateye, but I bet they are still slapping their knees and laughing about it Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any dirt trail with no hikers Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: Cycle Store Similar Products Used: no name brand cheapy, binned after two months Bike Setup: steering head

from Miami, Florida Date Reviewed: January 4, 2011 Strengths: Small, neat, works well Weaknesses: Display is too small for aging far-sighted eyes. Odometer record is lost when you change the battery. Useless backlight, it's much too dim to even be worth fumbling to press the tiny backlight button behind the head unit. Has more features than are needed by a casual cyclist like me. Buttons not tactile enough for easy operation. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: Amazon Similar Products Used: Several others, wired, hated them years ago. Bike Setup: Trek Lime Lite

from Central, PA, USA Date Reviewed: March 30, 2010 Strengths: Wireless. Durable. Display easy to read. Can be used on two different bikes with different wheel sizes....or if you like me, and have a 2nd *road* wheelset for your mountain bike, you can switch it to wheelset "B" and not have get accurate distances and rates. Weaknesses: Backlight very dim. Button for backlight also hard to find/press while riding. Instruction manual is not easy to follow. Resetting time/distances/averages kind of a pain with the 2-button approach (but you get used to it). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $35.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: Other Cateye computers. Bike Setup: Highly modified Marin 29er.

from Valley Park, MO Date Reviewed: October 28, 2009 Strengths: Ability to use on two different bikes. If you stop to rest, this Cateye goes to sleep but when you start riding again, it picks right up where you left off as soon as you start peddling. It also has an easy-to-read display. Easy to set-up instructions. Weaknesses: None that I could detect. Generally goes through one battery per year, but at $3 - $4 at Wal-Mart that not a problem.

from Doylestown, PA Date Reviewed: October 18, 2009 Strengths: Very easy to use, pretty accurate, nice functions for use on a Mountain bike Weaknesses: Setting it up is easy, but the fork sensor needs to be VERY close to the the spoke mounted sensor, like less than 1/2". I never use the light, but I suppose a complaint will be that it's useless. Very dim, lasts like 5 seconds Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Wissahickon Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Trek Fuel EX8, XT/XTR, 32T E13 bash, Tubeless Maxxis High Roller 2.35's
