 Great cyclocomputer for a great price., June 3, 2005
By MikeUm (Twin Cities, MN)
|
|
The Micro Wireless is one of the newest additions to the Cay Eye Companies long line of trusted cyclocomputers. I had a hard time choosing between this and a more expensive model with heart rate and cadence.
I decided to go with this and purchased a separate wrist HR monitor for around 25 bucks. It saved a good deal of money and could be the solution to one of your concerns.
If you are looking for a basic model without wireless: I suggest checking out the "Enduro 8"; it is cheaper and has most of the basic features (without wireless and backlight).
With that said: I really like this model, it's smaller and has more features than the Enduro; wireless and back-light. It was easier to setup and quickly switches between bikes (with the purchase of a second mount/sensor kit.)
I broke the computer mount in a minor training collision and Cay Eye sent me a replacement mount for free. I suggest you "defiantly get a cat eye", especially at this price; they have great customer service and make an excellent wireless computer.
(I have used this product for six months.)

 Reliable and durable, September 20, 2005
By The man (MA, USA)
|
|
I purchased this speedometer a month ago and I am very pleased with it. I have biked over 200 miles and each ride it holds true to its readings with prior rides, very consistent. Highly recommended!

Catey Micro Wireless, November 6, 2006
By The Vinman (Queens, NY)
|
|
I bought two units. One for my bike and one for my daughter's.
Installation couldn't have been easier. Ten minutes per bike and I was done.
After installation, all you have to do is input tire size and width and you're ready to go.
A good test to see how accurate these units are was taking a ride with my daughter being that we have two different size bikes. Ater reaching our destination, both units read exactly the same mileage. The unit is very unobtrusive on the handlebar and very easy to read. I won't go into all the features (you can read that in the item description), but I believe it has all I'll ever need.
We are both very happy with this product.

Good, but..., March 8, 2007
By M. McCabe
|
|
I recently purchased this cyclocomputer and two additional mounting kits to enable me to track my cumulative annual mileage between all my bikes. The unit itself is nice enough, the wireless feature makes for a clean and simple installation, and setup is fairly intuitive. However, two things keep me from giving this thing the highest possible marks; the button on the end of the unit that is used for resetting the elapsed time/trip distance is difficult to use, and the release lever on the mount is virtually non-functional. I've already broken one and am using a piece of tape for now to secure the unit in place. All in all, a decent product for the money.

Cateye Micro Wireless, May 15, 2007
By Jim (USA)
|
|
I looked at many computers before selecting this one. My neighbor recommended it over the computers he currently has on his bikes. He plans on getting two new Cateye computers soon. Installation was very easy, and I haven't had any problems at all. It is very accurate. For the price, I really don't think you can find a better computer. I highly recommend it.

Excellent choice, May 12, 2007
By K. McMahon (United States)
|
|
Of the many choices you have for a bicycle computer, give serious consideration to this model. It was a snap to install, is accurate, and provides all the basic information you'll want. The wireless feature is pretty cool, too, making the install very clean. The price is tough to beat, so unless you want cadence or heart rate functions, give this unit a look. I think you'll be happy you did.

Pleased, and would buy it again, March 17, 2007
By Jerry (Tempe, AZ)
|
|
This is the first bicycle computer I've purchased but CAT EYE provides a rosetta stone of guidance in no fewer then twelve languages and with their instructions I installed my computer in just a few minutes.
I use my bicycle daily to commute several miles to and from work as well as for recreation on the weekends and after several hundred miles my computer is still performing flawlessly.
My only complaint is that some careful button pressing technique is required to reset daily trip time and distance. Two buttons must be held for the reset but part of the same button sequence changes modes between bicycle one and bicycle two.
For the price I would happily order another computer for a second bike and forego this feature in favor of more intuitive display of ride-leg information or perhaps even an additional button to simplify reset.
The best designs promote intuitive operation but I'm happy with the product and with practice I'll master the technique.

 Cyclocomputer, May 14, 2007
By Cheryl (Sterling Heights, MI USA)
|
|
The computer works good at keeping tract of your speed and distance. The amount of time it took to get it was very short. I think that the owner's manule could be a little more straight forword, and the instructions on how to navigate through the different settings should be more clearer to read. Other than that, the product is well worth the money.

Bicycle odometer/speedometer, January 18, 2007
By Axel Gordon (COS, CO)
|
|
Excellent product. Allows for a large assortment of bike riding information (speed, distance, average speed/distance, logging, time, back-lit, more). Small size allows for placement just about anywhere on handlebar.

Good cyclocom, July 17, 2008
By Ed Zeppelin (Fat City, CO United States)
|
|
I agree the instructions suck balls. And the diagram "Menu Flow" is beyond cryptic.
That said, I managed the installation in under 30 minutes and was riding. I like how you can wipe out the day's stats after your ride, yet keep your accumulated miles on the odometer. And the average/max speed is a neat feature. And I like the elapsed time feature, which only measures time when bike is actually in forward motion.
Nice gadget to trick out my Trek. I'll be interested to see how long unit performs before failure.
4 stars because it works as advertised, no fifth star on account of unnecessarily cryptic instruction sheet.
5/30/09 update: the cateye bike computer still working fine. Also seems to be resistant to damage because I dropped mine on a hard tile floor from about 4' up. Still works fine, and the instructions still suck.

 Nice computer, the manual sucks, April 13, 2009
By J. Missler (Ohio)
|
|
The computer works nicely, whoever designed the manual needs to be terminated from their job today. What the hell good is a cycle computer that is almost unprogrammable for the average person? There are several other brands available, buy on of those and skip an hour of rage.

Excellent Product, July 24, 2006
By David R. Lawson (Waxahachie, Texas)
|
|
This is a great help when working out with the bicycle. I can tell how far I have gone and in what time I make the trip. This helps to decide what kind of work out I would like to do and how fast to do it based on my physical condition on that day. You see I am 56 years young and really am not able to push as hard as most people would on a bicycle. So I have to be careful since my heart attack.

Works Great, June 9, 2008
By D. E. Hollatz (Arizona, USA)
|
|
I've only had the bicycle computer for a couple of weeks, but although the installation instructions are kind of vague, the computer works well. It mounts with double sided tape and cable ties, so it tends to move around instead of being clamped solidly to the handle bar.

As advertised, January 11, 2007
By DAVE S... (SHELBY TWP., MI United States)
|
|
I was Not impressed with the directions on installing it.
They assumed a little too much!
But it works well. The way it attaches to the front spoke doesn't seem like it's strong enough for rough riding, but I haven't had a problem in the 100 or so miles I've put on it yet So?
I frequently remove the front wheel to take my bike with me in the car and it doesn't interfere with this, which I like.
Bottom line I'd buy it again!!!

Cateye Micro Wireless CC-MC100W, January 9, 2007
By Mike Ballard (Des Moines, IA)
|
|
I have a foldable bike so wireless becomes more important with less chance of breaking wires. This Cateye seems to work very nicely. The mountings are simple and don't require excessive space. Setup was easy. Operation is a no brainer. The only fault I could mention is the backlight function. It's not nearly bright enough to accomplish the goal it was designed for which was one of the main reasons for selecting this odometer.

By far the best cyclocomputer for your money!!!!!!!, November 3, 2006
By Breen
|
|
I have had the cateye for about 4.5 months now. I love it, it is very accurate, easy to install, and always gives you a real time read out. It has gone through many bumbs, creeks, jumps, and numerous falls, and have not had to adjust it or anything. It has stood up to every requirement I ask of it. You will love this product.

Worth it., October 17, 2007
By uncle_pinback (Belton, MO United States)
|
|
Yes, the instructions are muddled. However, setup and installation was a piece of cake. The only thing that I think should be different is having the "Start/Stop" button switched with the "Mode" button, because it seems counterintuitive, but that's just personal preference. If I had to, I'd buy it again. It sits on my bike and does its job. It's worth the money to know your speeds, times and distance.

By Dookie (Annapolis, MD USA)

I had my first Cateye cyclometer 16 years ago and it's nice to see that the company is still making quality products. The wireless feature makes for a nice, easy, and clean set up. Great product for a great price.

Great Tool for your bike, August 23, 2007

Works Great, September 12, 2010
By Chuck-O
|

I recently purchased the Cateye Micro Wireless computer from forCycling. The directions were easy to follow and installation took about a half hour including programming the computer. The bottom line is that it works as advertised. The display is easy to read while riding and pressing one button allows me to see basic time/distance/speed info. I like the wireless feature as my bike has a suspension front fork and I don't have to worry about any extraneous wires. I've had no problem with the wireless transmitter. The whole unit is just ""set it and forget it"". I couldn't ask for more and am happy with my purchase.

By Adam (Florida)

I purchaed this computer a few weeks ago for my Cannondale F4. I love this computer it's wireless and easy to set-up. I enjoy riding at night and the back light feature is great so you can see the display at night! I highly recommend this computer. There are only a few bike stores in town and this exact computer was priced over $50,00. forCycling.com has the best prices!! With free-shipping!

good computer, March 29, 2010
By doc
|

I owned two previous wired versions of cateye computers, I like the product but suffered with issues regarding the cable, so decided to give a try with wireless. Easy to install, configuration and functions very similar to my previous mity and enduro models, so far so good after three weeks of light use, time will tell if it keeps working great. My bike is an XL Scott mtb and 70 cm distance from computer to sensor seems a more than adequate clearance to feet any mtb.

More features than I will ever use ..., July 21, 2006
By scientist (Maine USA)
|
|
Installation was more user friendly and more simple than with wired units from Trek whose instructions seem to be all in Chinese. The unit works well on my mountain bike and keeps me informed through an intuitive interface. Their are more functions on the unit than I will ever use. Kind of speaks to the need for a co-pilot to keep one abreast of all the information the little unit makes available. The price was right. I am satisfied so far.

Pretty good for a wireless, but..., August 25, 2011
By J. Elliott (Southern California)
|
|
I have owned one of these for over a year. It has a decent feature set, but aside from the poor instruction sheet and the erasure of mileage and wheel diameter settings when changing batteries, there is a problem that really limits the usefulness of this device.
It is extremely sensitive to interference. Transformer boxes, power switching stations, 2-way radio systems at golf courses, etc - all of a sudden your display shows '0.00'. And can do that for over 2 miles of dead spots in a 50 mile ride. Unfortunately it appears the timer keeps running even though it isn't collecting or displaying data. So even well documented routes show up a couple miles shorter than they really are, and your average speed shows as slower that the speed of other cyclists in your group, or than the number calculated from knowing the elapsed time and actual distance. And the sensitivity doesn't always appear for the same duration at known problem areas, or every time for these areas.
Probably not that big a deal for a casual rider, but if you are trying to train for events, this unit won't do it - unreliable readings.

Good Piece of Gear!, August 22, 2011
By Digital Enthusiast (San Angelo, TX USA)
|
|
Bought this for a TerraTrike recumbent and it works well - easy to install and set up.
I wish the manufacturer had included a few more of the lock ties. Of course I messed up one of the ties and discovered the lock ties are narrower than the ones available at Walmart so after a few trips around town, I finally found some of the same approximate size and everything is working good. Also don't understand why the silver version was $10 less than the black one.
In any event, the computer is easy to read, functions well and I have no complaints. When my older, purchased in 1995(!), still operating Cateye cordless on the other bike dies, I'll buy one of these as a replacement.

Great computer!, August 18, 2011
By Jenn D
|

This computer is amazing. Having it on my bike has really changed the way I ride and improved riding for me. The computer is so easy to use and so easy to just glance down and see what speed I'm going. Having all of the options to view - distance, time, average speed, maximum speed, and an odometer - is so nice to have. The wireless aspect is also an amazing feature. I recommend this computer to any road bike rider out there.

Bike Computer, August 5, 2011
By J. Wallace (Fort Worth, TX USA)

Easy to set up and install. Simple to use and gives basic information, such as overall mileage, trip mileage, average speed, maximum speed, and time, accurately. It's not a distraction, since you can gather information at a glance. I would buy this product again.

I'm Liking The Wireless Cycle Computer, September 30, 2009
By Steven Reiss (Santa Cruz, CA)
|
|
My previous CatEye cycle computer met its demise when the wire wrapping came loose on a long down hill stretch. The wire got caught in the front wheel and was severed. After a futile attempt to splice the wire back together, I bought the new CatEye wireless model.
The installation instructions were a little tricky, but I was up and running in about 30 minutes. So far, I'm enjoying the wireless aspects of this cycle computer. All of the data collection modes are working... I just need to get used to using all of them. This is a big step up from my prior basic computer. I have put the instructions in plastic bag and put them in my on board carry bag for future reference.
I hope that the battery life between the sender and receiver hardware lasts a good long time...

Fun and easy to use., March 3, 2009
By BusyTracks (Colorado)
|
|
Once we got it set up properly it worked great. Easy to read display. Instructions were mostly pictures, not as easily deciphered as they could be. My only objection is having to use the supplied sticky back to attach the read out mount to the handlebar. It is not as easily transferable to a different bike.

Bought this for my wife's bike. Instructions weren't great but it wasn't very difficult to figure out how to install. The plastic tie straps are not the most sturdy that hold it in place, but the actual unit is very good. I would recommend this product.

Cateye Bicycle Computer, November 8, 2007
By A. M. Scalisi (East Falmouth, MA)
|

This is a great bicyle computer with top featers and backlighting. It is the main reason I purchased the unit...the button on back is pressed and the display is momentarily illuminated. Another great feature is a choice of mounting options shiped with the unit. It may be mounted on the handlebars in the traditional way, or, mounted on the handlebar stem. The latter keeps your handlebars free of clutter.
