If you use glasses you won’t have any problems. The screen is quite small at 4cm across but the characters are large enough that you can still read them clearly. The screen is quite simplistic and you just need to keep your eyes on the current speed which is displayed in the middle of the screen. The Cateye Strada is a basic bike computer designed to be used by anyone, however it does have 5 functions including: This means that there are no moving parts or a lot of room for the wire to get damaged. The wire itself is quite thin and it is only in contact with your handlebars via a very rubbery piece of silicone side piece. Although this is marketed as a wireless bike computer it does come with a wire from the main unit that needs to be connected to your bike’s handlebars. The Strada Wireless comes with both a fork mount and a stem mount which makes it easy to mount to either a road bike or a mountain bike.
#CATEYE BIKE COMPUTER REVIEW HOW TO#
To actually use the device to track me bike rides I had to look at the diagram on the back of the unit on how to press the buttons. The instructions only cover how to set up the device and nothing else. The instructions that come with the device are very brief and have a terrible translation from the original instructions in Chinese. I have to admit that when I first used this computer I did find it a little confusing at first. The unit is on and can be used within seconds of powering up. You simply attach the wireless transmitter to your spokes and then clamp the main unit on to the stem of your bike and turn on the power. The unit itself is made of high quality plastic and all of the buttons feel nice to the touch. When I first opened the box and saw the Cateye Strada Wireless I was quite impressed with the build quality of the product. 5 functions including speed, average speed, maximum speed, trip distance and elapsed time.The key features on the Cateye Strada Wireless are: It is a wireless cycle computer that is easy to set up and can track several different bike functions including time, distance, speed and calories burned. The Strada Wireless is Cateye’s standard entry level wireless bike computer. Cateye products are always quality products, and this is no different.
We go over our experience with the computer, and its good and bad points. We deeply dive into the review of this computer. The Strada Wireless Bicycle Computer is priced fairly, and will not break the bank. I would recommend this computer for anyone looking to track their speed and distance in a simple manner. The computer’s set-up is fairly easy, and read-out is exact. I stack this computer up against much more expensive (or more technical) bicycle computers, and it performs well. Not only does this computer tell you your speed, but it shows the time of day, your trip distance, and elapsed time as well. The computer’s battery life is great, and they are inexpensive if you do need to replace them. The computer fits securely on your handlebars, and you don’t have to worry about it falling off. The computer not only gives you your current speed, but your average speed, which is great for training purposes. I’m no techy, but I found it easy to count the rotations to set the computer. The computer is very easy to operate, and operating an app on the screen is simple as well. Just make sure you place both items (computer and transmitter) in the position that is outlined for you, and all will be good.
At first the computer was a little confusing to figure out, and I thought I had broken the computer because I didn’t place the transmitter in the proper slot. The computer is very easy to install, and I was on the road within minutes. I ride a lot of hilly terrain and the computer allows me to really hone in on my average speeds as well as my top speeds. I’ve been using the Cateye Strada Wireless 8 Function Computer for roughly a month on my daily work commute. While it may look like a lot of cycling computers this is a great piece of kit.
