from Los Angeles, CA USA Date Reviewed: February 11, 2004 Strengths: Stronger reading than some other wireless computers I have used (Cat Eye 7) - even without a direct line of sight. Very solid bar mount compared to others (not just zip ties). Other computers have flown off my handle bars from crappy mounts. Weaknesses: It says on the box that it has auto start/stop . . . not true! I you sit for five minutes the thing will stop reading until you press a button. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Strawberry Peak Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: REI Similar Products Used: several Cat Eye products

from Lund Sweden Date Reviewed: March 24, 2003 Strengths: Sleek unobtrusive design passes well with retro road bikes of the aero era. Weaknesses: No one seems to mention what I feel is a MAJOR problem with this computer, namely the magnet. It is in a steel housing with a clumsy set screw and it weighs a ton (well maybe not quite) which causes a pounding imbalance at high speed. I made my own magnet unit with a plastic housing that weighs about half as much and when mounted opposite the valve stem it almost balances out. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anywhere without cars Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: I have other computers, Cat eye and Sigma but this is my only wireless. Bike Setup: The Vetta Rt88 is mounted on a1988 OLMO Corsa

from Dayton, Ohio Date Reviewed: August 15, 2001 Strengths: The box was easy to open and I did get the box for my $50 bucks. Weaknesses: This computer is the biggest piece of junk I have ever used. The buttons were stiff and I could never feel if they were depressed and the truth is it only worked my first ride until it rained. Ever since then, it has been out. I had a CATEYE wireless and never had a problem until I crashed and broke the transmitter so I tried a new product...What a mistake. I WILL be going back to the CATEYE...! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $50.00 Similar Products Used: Cateye 2 wireless. Bike Setup: Trek 2200 Road
