It&#8217;s simple, but did just what I wanted: time, speed, average speed, multiple odometers, multiple stored wheel sizes, and a couple other little things. It also did all of this wirelessly. Nicely, the computer latches into a quick release mechanism, allowing the computer itself to be removed easily.<\/p>\n<p>I would generally leave this mounted on my bike, taking it off only for washing, adjustments, transporting the bike on the car, and locking it up. I would imagine that the computer has been latched and unlatched, at most, 75 times since I got the bike. As you can tell from the wear marks above, it hasn&#8217;t been inserted and removed very much.<\/p>\n<p>Today when I went to put it on my bike I noticed that it didn&#8217;t snap into place this time, and didn&#8217;t stay put particularly well. Looking at the mount (above), I noticed that the small retention clip is broken. This is really disappointing, as I rather like this computer. It doesn&#8217;t sit particularly snugly without the clip, so I&#8217;m going to have to either modify the clip, or acquire a new one. I could probably put a bit of epoxy in the groove the computer fits into. That may very well make it a tight enough friction fit that it won&#8217;t come loose.<\/p>\n<p>I do wonder if this is a consistent problem, as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cateye.com\/store\/parts.php?cid=1_111\">Cateye Small Parts Store<\/a> is out of that part. Maybe I&#8217;ll just try contacting Cateye to see if they&#8217;ll just send a free one. After all, this is practically brand new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broken Clip on Cateye Strada Wireless Bike Computer Bracket Back when I got my bike I also ordered a Cateye Strada Wireless bike computer.
