Bottom Line:
Nice Computer - tired of losing the signal with my Trek wireless computer due to the long travel the front forks the mountain bikes offer today. Sure I tried to move up the wireless transmitter, changed out batteries, took it back to the bike shop and called Trek... they blamed the headlight for blocking the signal? The wireless units from Trek and their OLD original technology just does not offer the reliable service we expect these days. The digital technology of the 2.4GHz frequency has finally resolved us from having to go back to the old wired technology to achieve reliable results. That is when it makes sense to go to a proven company like CATEYE that specializes in just accessories. Other than some of the indicators on the display screen and the buttons being a little small this unit is perfect for on or off road riding. For those of you who live in the cold regions of the country and use the stands during the winter months the rear mounted transmitter will be a plus. I find it perfect placement when riding through dense fields. Has all the basic functions and then some... nicest and most reliable computer I have found but you will pay a few extra dollars for it.
