Velo Wireless

Installation is a bit fiddly. I have a bike with round forks at least half way down. The rubber bracket looked like it wanted to be installed on the flattened part of the fork, but then was too far away from the unit to pick up. I called Cat Eye, and a nice support guy told me I could just squish the rubber down on the round part. He also mentioned that the bracket allowed the sensor to lean in to make it close enough to get a signal from the wheel magnet. Just what I needed to know. It all works now, in spite of the computer being installed an inch up on the bracket for my removable basket, rather than my handle bars. Loved knowing my average speed, current speed, time, elapsed time, distance, and calories. Computer stops when you stop the bike, so it's keeping track of just riding time. Auto start. Very happy with the features and readability. Easy to set up the computer. My last Planet Bike unit was almost impossible to set. This is straight forward. Good price point. Would buy again.

I'm a low tech guy and I really like this computer. Simple set up, installation and use. Despite others' negative comments on the sleep mode, I really like this feature because it conserves the battery. Similarly with negative comments about no back lit screen- this only matters if you ride in the dark (which I don't). As far as not being a rechargeable battery, I don't want to have to pull off the sensor to recharge it. That would be impractical. This is a solid computer, so if you are like me, you will like it. I will report back later as I learn more about it's durability and reliability.

Typical Cateye quality and durability. I have no desire for any type of GPS computer. All I need is ride time, distance, avg speed and time. Easy to install and set up on my Orbea Occam LT. As a side note, this is replacing a Cateye Micro wireless with the 'Click Tec' style button that is probably better suited to a road bike as the bumping from MTB use was constantly activating the button.

Overall, you really get the most bang for your buck with this nifty gadget. To start off, I want to point out a major complaint; some people have difficulty understanding the instructions manual. If you've bought any internationally-sold bike products (this, and Continental for example), but most importantly this, you'll see that on the back there's about half a dozen languages, so instead of sending you a small novel, they give you clear pictures; you don't have to be artistically inept to understand them. Second, the installation process is very easy. Bear in mind this is my first bike computer; it only took me about 10 minutes to look at the pictures and install it. A brief run through; install the sensor/ magnet a few inches away from the rim, and make sure the sensor is less than finger width away from the magnet, but not touching. Next, make sure the computer is installed on your stem parallel to the ground (if you have your stem 'slammed', this won't be an issue). Of course this is only for installing, not setting up the computer ~see manual~ Aside from these, the whole shebang really bangs. Now I'll sum up the good and bad: Pros: Very cheap Very accurate Computer is easy to remove, take almost anywhere Easy to read/ understand what's shown on-screen Very small, very light (for all the weight weenies) Easy and quick setup Cons: Computer is VERY small, can easily be lost if misplaced Extremely hard to see screen at night, requires good amount of light to see anything Ziptie mounting of computer/ sensor is somewhat flimsy, sensor may move if not tight enough Not bluetooth or ANT+ compatible, only works with given sensor (not much of a con if you ask me) Something I read, though not sure if true, is that electronics like a phone or light may interfere with proper performance, will update on that later Things to keep in mind: I just received this today (01/07/21) so I may have missed some things, will update after putting in some miles. Also, the computer may be placed on a compatible strap or mount, so that's another thing. Another important thing is the screen not having a back light, which is a big issue for night riding, especially in dark areas. Something I wouldn't per se recommend, but would do if you're willy and very, very confident, is to apply super glue between the sensor and it's mount; again I would only recommend if you're REALLY confident in the placement of your sensor (may require parental supervision). All in all, if you're looking for a good beginner bike computer at a competitive price, you landed in the right place. Though it may have one or two flaws, they can be completely worked around.

I bought the Cateye Velo with confidence because I have been pleased with the Cateye Strada I bought 10 years ago. (I have used the Cateye Strada for 12,000 miles, and it is still going strong.) My new Cateye Velo is exactly the technology I need to keep track of mileage, speed and pace. I don't want to ride with my phone on the front of my bike, so the Cateye is an excellent option. It looks good and works well. I have a Garmin watch that I wear, but I wanted to see the data on my bike rather than look at my wrist. My Cateye Velo matches the Garmin data exactly--speed, pace, and mileage. My Cateye Strada has always been .02 (2 hundredths) off from the Garmins I have owned. But my Garmin GPS is always .02 off from my spouse's Apple watch GPS when we walk together....so I think GPS isn't all that accurate. I recommend the Cateye Velo.

I’ve checked the mileage on this several times against measured miles and it’s dead on, and I’ve checked the speed against other much more expensive computers with riding companions and it’s also right on with speed. Basic, good bike computer that’s very easy to install.

Absolutely perfect, quality of build is spot on, nice and lite, easy to operate, simple to install, very easy to read display, operates exactly as I wanted, definitely value for money.

El velocímetro lo adquirí en oferta, en tan solo 200 pesos. Tiene funciones muy básicas, pero aún así excelentes, marca las calorías, tiempo en movimiento, odómetro, distancia, velocidad promedio, velocidad máxima y desde luego los km/h, y después de un rato sin usarse entra en modo standby, además de ser inalámbrico. El único detalle es que le faltó fue luz, sin embargo es excelente. Muy recomendado.

I like how easy the wireless version is to install and I like that the computer is so small that it does take little place. So far working perfectly well.

Meet basic intentions

Compteur de qualité, affichage simple et intuitif, distance maximale entre l'aimant de rayon et le bloc compteur jusqu'à 70cm ce qui est un atout pour les vélos à guidon haut, menu un peu compliqué pour paramétrer en fonction de la dimension de la roue, je préconise la méthode avec mesure au sol du développé d'un tour complet de roue plutôt que le repérage par les dimensions inscrites sur le pneu . On galère un peu mais ce n'est qu'à faire une fois pour toutes au départ .
