CatEye Mity 3 Computer
Product DescriptionBuilding on the tradition of one of the most popular cycle computers of all time, Cat Eye proudly introduces the Mity 3. A dual trip distance allows you to keep track of intermediate distances. Now when map reading, you can keep track of just how far away that last town was without losing your daily trip distance! Dual tire settings allow you to quickly switch between a road and mountain bike. Other new features include a programmable screen, odometer, and average speed pacer arrow. With big buttons and a large screen, the Mity3 is now even easier to use.

from Groningen, Netherlands Date Reviewed: June 30, 2009 Strengths: This is by far the best available. So when I found them on sale for only $10 I bought a couple of them to fit out all my bikes and have some spare. Best strength is the info cycle: dist>triptime>avg . That's all I need when cycling. Another one is the option to set avg etc to the large display. And I do like the positioning of the button, it makes it easy to just grip the computer, rather than positioning your finger on a top-button while driving a bumpy road. Weaknesses: No holder for stem-mount. Is sold seperately but could have been a dual function mount. No backlight. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: flat dirt Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: local dump store Similar Products Used: The first ever cateye, sigma , velo-5 Bike Setup: a couple of them

from Poland Date Reviewed: April 23, 2006 Strengths: Good price, reliable and durable. Totaly waterproof. Many functions and good, clear display (easy to customize). Setting it up can be a bit confusing at the beginning but is actually quite easy (just RTFM...). The sectional distance function is precise and REALLY cool - saved me lots of time when navigating by the map. Weaknesses: No backlight. Well, for me it is not a big deal. After dark I am usually riding back so... - maybe better not to calculate how far it is :) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $20.00 Bike Setup: Wheeler 3600. Sort of "long distance cross country" - the tires are large AND wide (700 and 43C). Shimano rapidfire shifters and STX.

from Canada Date Reviewed: July 20, 2004 Strengths: Works, long battery life, seems to be accurate, computer itself is durable (unlike Vettas which kept dying on me). I think I've had it about 5 years. Weaknesses: Setting it to kilometres sets it to 24 hour time, buttons harder to press while riding than computers with top mount buttons, on long boring flat straight sections of road I obsess over the mileage and feel like I'm not going anywhere (but I try to avoid those). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: yonge street Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $17.00 Purchased At: MEC Similar Products Used: Vetta, other Cateyes, an old Avocet, dead reckoning Bike Setup: One speed, no coasting

from Leiden, The Netherlands Date Reviewed: October 30, 2003 Strengths: A lot of functions; easy to control when you take some time to study the manual; weatherproof; it can be used for two different bikes, as you can program two wheel sizes in its memory. Weaknesses: The start/stop button. If you're using manual start/stop, like I am, you always have to check the display to see whether having pressed the button has actually started/stopped the timer. This is really annoying when riding in the dark. A button that lights up the background for a second would solve this problem. Alternatively you could mount a small sort of torch light next to your computer, aimed at the display (these are in fact being sold somewhere). However, if you're not going for speed but for distance, you can just turn the auto start/stop on and you won't have this problem. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any 'polder' trail: bicycle paths through flatlands Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $28.00 Purchased At: Halfords Similar Products Used: Always Cateyes (CC7000, Velo 1, Velo 2, Mity 1, Mity 2) Bike Setup: Koga Miyata Terraliner, Shimano Deore XT; and MBK race bike, Shimano 105.

from Groningen,the Netherlands Date Reviewed: July 10, 2003 Strengths: Good protection againt all weather conditions, own experience: +45,-20 Celsius,used in all months of the year. Easy to use. Weaknesses: none, about that wire; I still use (more than 3 years) the orginal wire and I have done a lot of extreme things with it. Just fix the wire good at your bike and nothing can happen. When you don't place the wire at a good way the wire could break also when it is thick. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Cap Grinez (France)->The Hague (Netherlands) Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $26.00 Purchased At: Local bikeshop, Gouda(Netherlands) Similar Products Used: pfff...I have tested a lot for one day the only differences between the bike pc's are the amount of functions and weather resistance. Bike Setup: about my bike? It is a long distance bike made by Koga Miyata.about the product? Easy to use and to fix at the bike.
