"This is my second cycle computer after I lost the exact same one. I would not hesitate to recommend it to others. I find it very simple to use and small, light and easy to setup. My brother-in-law bought a less expensive cycle computer (not sure of brand) which gave widely different readings when doing the same route! He has bought the Cateye Velo Wireless now and wished he had done so in the first place."

"Usual Cateye high quality. Easy to set up, easy to fit. Once calibrated it's on a par with my Garmin for accuracy. Autostart feature eliminates having to remember to turn it on at the start of the ride. Recommended."

"Clearly I have managed to get a faulty product as it is impossible to set up, returning to flashing 26" after every reset even with a fresh battery.
Difficult to mount to bike as cable ties do not attach brackets securely so the sensor/magnet clearance of 5mm is unsustainable . Release mechanism on the bracket may as well not be present for the amount of good it does. Be prepared to break nails if you wish to remove from your bike (assuming yours works of course)"

"Great bit of kit; really easy to understand, install and use. Bought to replace a major brand one I did buy though really struggled to understand and which after fitting didnt work anyway. Should have read the reviews of that one first - a lot of duds and early breakdowns. Which is why I went for this one as a replacement; great reviews and they were right. Easy to fit, use and reliable on 2 bikes so far. Recommended."

Pros: easy to fit, display easy to read
Cons: no light so can't see in dark, cable ties rather than screw up bracket, release clip unusable
"Fitting was nice and easy as it uses cable ties. These are not great because no matter how you try you can not get them completely tight but I put mine on my handlebar stem and it stays in place. The sticky bad they give you helps a bit.
The cable ties on the detector on the fork again don't fully tighten but I have had mine on for 2 weeks now, mainly road and cycle track riding (including bumping over tree roots) and it has stayed in place.
No light so you can't see it in the dark. And you can only see current speed and 1 other measure but the button is easy to press even with gloves on so you can switch between the readings if you want. I tend to leave mine on average speed or distance.
I have only had one incident of interference when the readings just started to show silly values but it only lasted a few seconds. I assumed I was passing a house that generated a lot of radio noise in the relevant band. I have LED lights and these do not interfere.
This is my first device since trying to get back into cycling and overall it has done what I want.
Cheaper online than in store which is really stupid. I stood in the store and ordered mine on my phone for collection at that store.
Only major con is the release clip in impossible to use so you can not practically remove it from the bike, but I doubt a thief can either"

Pros: easy to fit and set up
Cons: could do with a display backlight
"Very easy to install and set up. A good clear display that can be seen in bright daylight and even under street light conditions. Could benefit from a backlight for night time riding.
The ability to finely set the fork mounted transmitter and the hense the resultant wireless link was far better than expected. All in all a supurb product."

Pros: very accurate
Cons: a bit tricky on initial setup
"I bought the Cateye computer to replace an old one bought years ago. After adjusting the settings a couple of times I have found that it is extremely accurate. The settings chart on the instructions should be taken lightly especially if you set it to just the wheel diameter ie 26''. I found it best to measure the exact circumference of the wheel with whatever tyre thats on it. On the chart it had a setting of 207cm for a 26'' wheel but on measuring found it to be 208cm for my wheel. Very little in it but over a long bike ride would make a difference!!"
