The original mounting hardware is a real brittle plastic, but I've replaced it with sticky Velcro with much success.

$50.00 | | Strengths: | Durability after falls. Big buttons. Gentle learning curve. | | Weaknesses: | Battery change (transmitter module) once a year.
Impossible to read in the dark.
Discontinued Item. | | Similar Products Used: | None. | | Bike Setup: | Mountain bike. | | Bottom Line: | This c-500 computer has lasted nearly 8 years. It still works as well as the day that it was initially set up. One of the minor peeves is that the signal transmitter battery - a special battery normally for camera flashes, costs $17 (Walmart) and only lasts for about a year (Duracell or Energizer). As well, the computer's green surface is very hard to read in the dark. Once a year 24 races will not matter, though, and it is seldom that racing is done at night. But- it is still very hard to read the display at night, or in the dark.
Otherwise, there are too many good things about this computer. It has lasted about 8 years (since spring '94) and the fact is that I have never wanted to replace it.
I wanted to buy another one. But they are not available anymore.
ps- My (jealous) friend bought an Avocet cordless and it is much better, but it was bought six years after my c-500's technology. ***Oh - I must mention that two people riding beside one another, or very close to each other....., One with a Vetta c-500 and the other with Avocet cordless computer.... will not work. They probably transmit by very close frequencies, because the data will be incorrect on both! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Not water proof after 1st battery change. | | Similar Products Used: | Too long ago to remember | | Bottom Line: | This product has been good. It has certainly lasted longer than any other cycle computer I have had but I think that has more to do with the way it fits so tightly in its handlebar mount. I replaced all my previous computers due to losing them. I question the short battery life. Why can't it have the ability to enter in the odo milage after replacing the battery? The other annoying habit it has developed is that after the first battery change it lost any water proofing it may have had. Now there only has to be a hint of moisture in the air and it stops working. Put it in a dry environment and it starts working again but it has to be reset as every thing goes back to the factory settings and the odo zeros. The only way around this that I have found is to wrap it in cling wrap (Glad wrap in NZ) but then you can't read the numbers easily but at least it doesn't reset.
Overall this has been a good computer but I will be trying something else when this one finally dies. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

I used to own one of these crappy Vetta C500's up until the day I looked down only to find the computer had disappeared. I think the computer is good - that's about it. The bracket that the computer is mounted to is a terrible design. I called the customer service at Vetta and at first they offered 30% off regular price for the replacement. I said I wanted a FREE replacement, and they came back saying I could get it at dealer cost ($32 US). I told them I was going to buy a competitor's computer and they did not have a problem with that. So, the service stinks but the bracket is ten times worse. If you buy this computer it is simply a matter of time before the computer disappears out of sight. I have bought a Cateye Cordless 2 for $25 dollars less anyways. You had your chance Vetta - never again. | | Overall Rating: |

After the first one, I got about a mile down the trail and realized I lost my computer.

When I first bought this thing about 5 months ago it worked great, the features that it had, like auto shutdown and whatever else, didnt bother me. I was a little annoyed with the fact that I had to replace the transmitter batter about 3 monhts into riding, but I ride alot. It wasnt until about 1 month ago that I want on a dirt trail in Jersey after rain that I learned how crappy this product is. The trail was muddy but not soft, I definatly kicked mud up everyewere, after about 30 minutes into the ride the thing starts to fade. Ok I thought maybe its just a dying battery on the main unit. Nevermind that I had about 600 miles on the odo. I get home and I buy a replacement, only to have the thing fade on me the following day. I would think for 60 bucks this piece of brilliant Hong Kong enginering would be water resistant. At first I thought this thing was pretty decent, but that whole mud thing tottaly pissed me off.

Hello. I have owned a C500 for several years now and have ridden it +5000k. It works well in all weathers and is a good-overall computer. Gripes-- it allows only 3 digits on the Odometer (meaning after 999k's the Odometer recycles back to 000k's). The biggest gripe is that the batteries live short lives. On my C500, the batteries are changed every winter, (before spring), and then in mid-summer. It is a drag since the Odometer's reading cannot be preserved but.... oh well, it will recycle itself anyway. I am interested in the Cateye Cordless 2. Can anyone give me some information on its' reliability?? Do the batteries die quickly?? Can anyone compare the Cateye Cordless 2 and the C500? By the way, I know I've ridden more than 5000 Kilometers because I record the date every time I reach 999k. | | Overall Rating: |

up at the first sign of water/moisture. My new c-50 just stops mid ride
and then re-starts again. It has a few nice features, like automatic

if the computer thinks your stationary when youre bombing down the trail.

I like this product although it does take some tinkering with to keep it working properly after subjecting it to hard ridding. The problem is there are two contact points (one in the sensor and one in the transmittor)that have a tendency to bend. This moves them far enough away from the respective battery to cause failure. It is easily remedied in both cases by simply bending them back to their original positions. When they do make contact the thing is great. | | Overall Rating: |

It also has a power down facility to save the battery and gives out a good strong radio signal. The only things

OK, so I like the trick components, and a wireless computer looked pretty trick
to me, so I bought one in the middle of the 1995 season.
Turned out to be a sensible move!
The sender mounts to the front fork via 2 zip ties and uses a rubber pad to
align it to aim the transmitter bump at the top to the handle bars. The
magnet then attaches to the spoke. You do have to get the magnet close to the
little notch to trip the switch (a slight click is heard) Each time you trip
the switch, a pulse is radioed to the computer.
The computer bracket mounts on the bar and must be as close as possible to being
directly above the sender unit on the fork. Too far away, or too much junk
in the path, and you may not get the signal.
I played with the sender and a ham radio frequency counter and found that the
transmission is pretty strong. On a small frame Cannondale, there was no place
on the handlebar that I couldn't read the signal. However, I didn't have to
go far beyond the bar end to loose it.
The computer does all the cool things like MPH, average MPH, Time ridden (not
counting stops), 24 hour time, odometer and trip odometer. Resetting the trip
counters is not easy to do by accident.
The lack of a wire has kept the system funtioning for over a year. The sender
seems to be waterproof as it hasn't failed it wet weather. I'm pretty careful
with the computer itself when off the bike (quick release mount) and it has
done well too.
What's neat is you can totally wrap the computer in a small zip lock bag and
use it in the rain without it getting wet. No wired computer can be this
well protected.
The only complaint I have is that you can screw up the computer if you press
both buttons and hold them for a long time. This can happen in a pack, or
pocket. Resetting the computer fixed the problem, but all my data and the
total miles odometer were reset.
