Computer for Mountain Bike...

I'm going to get a computer for my mountain bike. I've been looking at the Cateye Enduro 8 and the Cateye Strada. The Cateye website lists the Enduro 8 as off-road. My question is this, Does anyone here have any experience with the Strada on a Mountain bike? The two computers are pretty close feature wise, but the Strada has a lot more versatile mounting bracket. I'm wanting to mount a computer on my stem to free up my handle bars for my lights.

Thanks,

Ray

There really isn't anyone who can tell you what computer to use where.. Much of what the manufacturers say about a given model's use is both suggestion and marketing. I'm sure with time there will be an Enduro model in the the Strada line up; however, the only difference bewtween the Enduro and non-enduro computers is the insulation on the wiring harness of the Enduro is heavier. That's it..

Thanks,

I think I'll probably go with the Strada mainly because of the mounting flexiblity. I want to keep the handle bars freed up for lights.

Thanks again,

Ray
