Great cyclocomputer for a great price.

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.)

Update (9/6/2010): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

wish I had gotten it sooner
First off, I am a casual biker so I didn’t know if I “needed” this or not. Now that I have it, I really dig it!
Mounting the whole thing took me about 20 minutes–15 to read the pictograph directions and 5 to actually put it on. But that is because I am a little cautious and really wanted to do it right the first time. It actually was quite easy because the installation diagram is very detailed, showing exactly which direction the pieces go, in what order, etc. The computer mounts on the handlebar with double-sided tape and cable ties, keeping it plenty tight and secure. The sending device attaches to the fork the same way and is very ingenious the way it reads off the magnet you attach to the spoke.
A little bit harder was programming it the first time, following the menu flow digrams. But after a few minutes it was very intuitive and I got it set up (with mph, wheel size, etc.) and was ready to take it for a test spin. Which is where its greatness was immediately apparent. I followed a route I knew and the odometer was spot on. The elapsed time pauses when you do, the average and max speeds worked great. In fact, this thing is amazing!
So, bottom line, even if you don’t think you need one, you’ll soon wonder how you got along without it. Well built, high quality, instructions in about 20 languages, fun to use, and practical. Can’t beat it.

compact and full featured
The two things you need is a good trip odometer that small and light, but all the features you need to have. This one fills both creteria beautiful. The device is small, but it is incredibly easy to read and navigate. and if you like me, the last odometer in possession of a wire running down fork - forget it, this one is wireless. It does the job perfectly for a good price.
