Why people feel the need to mess with a good reliable product like Cateye who makes excellent lower cost computers that have worked and worked for a loooooong time I don't understand? I get it a billionaire who has more warehouses and money than sense can get ridiculous prices and products and all of that but there is something to be said for known qualities and quantities that you just cannot get through places that don't specialize in bikes and bike parts.

To those knocking wired computers I have never really had an issue with one and the Cateye Enduro is pretty robust. I can understand on a mountain bike it having more issues but a road bike would be pretty rare. I have found the wireless units to be a bit more fidgety and problematic at points and having two batteries to deal with kind of sucks. However I am not talking Garmin, Wahoo, or similar just the more basic wireless models. However I haven't had enough or consistent issues with wireless to say don't go with one but just that wired is super simple and easy and if you are looking to save money Cat-Eye has got you covered.
