"The computer provides real-time speed and cadence data that I wanted. After I stop, it then provides a summary of distance and average speed which is what I wanted. It also provides some other metrics that I do not use."sorenson997

(5)

Ease of installation

Installation was straight forward. I just need an aerobar mount.

(5)

Ease of use

Easy to use. I have owned other Cateye computers and the operation seemed similar.

(5)

Quality of Construction

I have owned Cateye products for years and they have always performed well for me.

Value

Seemed like the entry point for a computer with cadence. My local bike shop did not have the best price, but they had it in stock. Price alone probably cannot be a LBS's value add.

Strengths

It can be put in manual mode where the user starts/stops it. I do not like the auto mode where the computer starts logging as soon as you start rolling. This unit does have the auto mode feature but I prefer the manual mode.

Weakness

While in the manual mode, the cadence cannot be selected to be the larger [more readable number]. Instead, the speed is on top with a larger font while the cadence is on the bottom of the display with a smaller font. This is a minor point though.
