 Why are they reinventing the wheel (the mount)? August 30, 2010
One More Ear
I'm a 7-year owner of the CatEye Astrale 8 wired computer, and it has performed flawlessly. I originally chose that model because it had cadence. These days, I don't really need the cadence, so I decided to try a simpler wireless unit.
Ok, I haven't even mounted this thing yet, never mind used it, and I'm asking myself "why are the engineers not reusing already proven designs that work??!?". The way the unit attaches to the mount is shoddy at-best. My old Astrale 8 unit clicks in-place. To remove it, there is a lever that you push down to release it. It works great - easy to use and minimal wear-and-tear on the base of the unit. Perfect design. Now, the Strada wireless has this weak tab lock and requires the user to essentially force the unit past the tab to release the unit. This design (the tab on the base) will likely last only a few dozen on-off cycles before it gets worn down, and becomes much less effective at holding the unit. Why in the world did they not use the Astrale (or Mity, Enduro, etc) latch design for this unit? It makes absolutely no sense.
I'm still debating whether I want to keep this thing. Another reviewer's comments about their unit flying off (after hitting a bump) and going down a sewer drain is tangible proof that the tab will eventually become ineffective.
 The Best Affordable wireless bike computer out There August 29, 2010
I really like the strap system for the computer on the handlebar or stem. You just twist it until it tighten around the stem or handlebar. The sensor must be mounted on the fork with regular tie straps. Other people complains about this straps for being one-time use only. (Its ok GUYS... this straps are cheap but theyre excellent for mounting stuffs and you can buy them anywhere for $4 and comes in 12-15 pcs and you can save them for later). A lot of things now uses tie straps.
Anyway, about the computer, I got nothing negative to say about it. I used to have a cateye Mity 8 years ago until my bike got stolen and i like it a lot except for it has wires. My last computer was a Blackburn Atom 4.0 and i had to return it to the store because it stops getting signals from the transmitter or wireless sensor. So i switched back to the Cateye brand since I have no negative experience yet with their brand.
Cateye has other brands that uses only handlebar mounts so when i saw this STRADA with this patented strap system for the handlebar or the stem, I was like.. its worth the try... and it all good for me.

Priced at least $10 less than Bike shops. shipped out and received in 2 days.
Easy to install, clean look, one button operation is nice, works very well. I have used cate eye wired for over 10 years and this is my first wireless. So far, so good.

Purchased a wireless unit thinking I could mount the sensor on my rear tire and use it with my indoor trainer. Unfortunately, the Amazon description does not mention that the display unit must be less than 70mm from the sensor, or that the back of the display must exactly face the sensor. The only way to manage a rear tire mount would be to attach the display to the bottom of my seat, which pretty much defeats the purpose of having a bike computer. I didn't even bother mounting it to my front wheel and handlebars, since my old wired version is likely far more accurate--and I can tilt the display toward me without worrying about missing sensor readings!
what a deal! August 8, 2010

easy install, accurate speed/distance, wireless and lightweight japan made quality. very happy with this purchase and looks great on the all black bike blowing off doors and pedals. great product except the time set was a little tedious but the rest of the set up was a snap.
