Strada Cadence - A RIP OFF?

Take a look at my new Catyet computer, Strada Cadence....


Where is the computer there? It's smaller than my thumb, and I have small fingers.


I figured I'm getting a computer, instead I got a toy. Most toys are bigger than this thing. Smaller isn't better, IMO. Because small looks not as valuable as big, there is a visibility issue with small, and durability issue too. It's easier to break small than big.


Moving on to sensor and wiring. These look very fragile as well. Any sort of misuse - such as falling down, touching with your foot, or otherwise wiping bike down - can cause the wires to break, and possibly break right where they connect to sensor. Thus repair would not be possible.



My opinion on Strada Cadence by Cateye. Although small and compact, this device is too fragile for use on a bike. It's kind of like iPod, although slick, compact, and all that, you won't take it to the gym with you, because you could break it easily.


I should have went with Topeak Panoram V12, for the same money, but no cadence sensing.
