Wireless computer advice

I purposely set my transceiver on the edge of reception at the rear wheel. When the readout jumps from 16 or whatever mph to 2000mph and total trip dist. does the same magnitude of jump, it makes me feel like a SUPERHERO
If things like this annoys you, you might think about spending more $$ Else, it's like on-bike entertainment and should be labeled as a 'feature' on the side of the box!

You could probably find a Cateye Micro Wireless for pretty cheap on some of those discount bike websites. I have one and its worked fine for the last 2 years.

Wrong size glass

We sell the cateye micro wireless and strada wireless almost exclusively as our $50 computer. After selling a few hundred the past couple years, we have only got 1 or 2 back with issues. they are pretty good.

plus the cateye warranty center is here in Boulder, so when there is an issue, I can usually just hand out another as they take care of it.

that said, my Garmin 705 rocks, had to get one as putting a computer sensor on my Maverick Duc fork is a little hard.

Are you going to use it with a front light? My Nite Rider MiNewt interfered with my cheapo $20 Ascent wireless 'puter. I didn't check it against other makes, and just went straight to a wired Cateye. Flash mode during commuting made the puter think the sensor was hitting the magnet at about 45mph. Solid light made it read 0mph

FYI, i got a cateye wireless as a gift a couple years ago and is a bit bulky for the sensor. And it did not like temps below 15 degrees. Not that i rode that much in those temps but on many night laps with the dog just noticed it to be not reading. Maybe they have improved this on the newer ones. So i went back to the cateye mity 8 i think. Pretty cheap and durable. Does not interfere with my Amoeba light either. :thumbsup:
