from Australia Date Reviewed: September 18, 2007 Strengths: The CC-FR7CL is easy to install due to lack of wires. CC-FR7CL setup easy when making step-by-step confirmation with instructions. Odometer can be preprogrammed with previous/old computer reading. Appears to be water resistant. Weaknesses: Original factory batteries lasted about 6 months of continuous use. Batteries will last 12 months provided that computer is used 1 hour per day (This is mentioned in the insructions). At this rate the batteries would last me about 6 - 9 months. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $75.00 Purchased At: K-Mart Similar Products Used: Cateye Tomo CC-ST200 (this unit is NOT wireless) Bike Setup: Raceline Giro (2004) road bike. Prior to using the CC-FR7CL for the first time I wanted the most accurate distance/speed to be measured. I did this by using a GPS and a calculator. My tyres are 700x23C and the instructions suggest a wheel size of 2096. I programmed the CC-FR7CL with 2096 and inflated the tyres to 90PSI. I travelled a distance of 100km using my GPS. My CC-FR7CL registered 100.67km. 100.00 / 100.67 X 2096 = 2082 which seems to be the correct wheel size for my bike tyre. Assuming of course that the tyre pressure is always the same!

from Chi Date Reviewed: April 24, 2005 Strengths: It was easy enough to mount all three pieces to the bike. It was easy to set up and get readings, just not the right ones. It's a Cateye wireless product that looks cool. Weaknesses: It doesnt provide me the correct readings. Mileage is off and the MPH jumps all over the place. I was screaming downhill and the MPH would go from 20 mph to 5 mph? The mileage was always off by atleast .25 per mile rode? Poor or NO response from Cateye email support.
