Yeah...I wondered if the engineers ever rode one of these with 16T rear gearing. Maybe they used Eric Heiden as a test rider. With the 22T, I cruise at 14 to 15 MPH in 2nd gear. Third gear takes me into the low 20's which is too fast for me for any length of time unless there is a downhill!! .

Last weekend, I installed a speedometer on the mighty Tourist and give it good marks. I really wanted something lightweight to complement the DL-1 so the main search criteria was weight.



Seriously, I was after a large display and wireless. I’ve had good luck with Cateye products in the past so I bought a RD310W Cateye Strada Slim. Out of the package, I was a bit skeptical whether the display would be big enough, however, when installed and in use, the display is very nice for my old eyes. Installation and setup was a snap.

You push down on the bottom of the speedo to change modes. There is a button on the back and when you push down, the speedo pivots and actuates the button. Seems to work well so far.




The slim sender works fine.



In the 80’s and 90’s I rode a Club Fuji with a Cateye mate. If memory serves, it took AA batteries, was huge and never gave problems after thousands and thousands of miles.

BTW…the standover for the DL-1 is 34” which, thank goodness, gives me a couple inches clearance .
