Cateye Micro Wireless

Coolnick

I'd like to buy a wireless computer for my bike and the Cateye wireless micro model £35 seems to tick the right boxes. Anyone got one that can advise if any good or not? Or suggest an alternative to consider? I don't want to pay anymore than £35 to be honest and would prefer wireless as neater. Cheers

streako

I have one, but have found it stops working with my 100mm forks.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, and it was getting frustrating to do 20 miles and only register 10.

I have now taken it off.

I have one and it does what it says on the tin, got it new for £25 off ebay if i remember right.

I have one too, works perfectely, took it off one day and now cant find any zip ties the right length/width to put it back on again

Anyone have any probs with readings like streako above? I really would prefer to not have wires.

These will fit

Thanks for the link jamie Ive been trying to find some zipties that actually fit cause all the ones ive tried so far are either too wide or too short in length

I've had mine for around a year now and very happy with it. Had some dodgy readings a couple of weeks ago. Changed the batteries and no problems since. I also ride Maverick DUC32 forks and have the sensor right on it's limit (72 cm distance from memory), and again, no issues. I'd recommend it. The lights not fantastic but is useful on the night rides as well

I have the Micro Wireless and can't knock it, it's been perfect, even when the sensor is caked in mud

you can double/triple/quad etc up zip ties, thread one through another to increase the length.

cateye enduro 8 here, works a treat and the wire is'nt really a problem. but if you really want wireless go for it, if it does'nt work as good as you want send it back before the 7 days distance selling regulation is up and try something different.

I think that online applies on unopened goods.

I got a wireless computer made by Trek, its the incite 8i its similar to a cateye but the screen is bigger so its easier to check your speed. It was about £30 from my LBS but i am sure you could get it cheaper on the internet.

I have a Cateye micro wireless. Great little thing, only thing aI cant figure out is how to reset the distance option when I want to start a new ride.

The instructions are rubbbish.

Simple, you press both buttons together.

Panhandling Prince

Got it cheers.

I have a Cateye Micro and have used it for a year with no problems.Bit of a fiddle to set up though.Got mine for £25 from Cycles UK.

The only slighty annoying thing with the Mirco is sometimes when pressing the mode button, it's strangely easy enough to actually accidentally press both buttons and reset it.
