Anyways, I am in need of a new computer, the Velo 5 was a $20 computer, and did well for me minus the few times I wanted to remount it and it gave me a problems with read outs.
I've had lots of problems with the mounts on Cateyes in the past year. The lock tab cracks and breaks off so the computer is much too easy to knock off. I've lost 5 of them. I like the computers but at around $30 a pop, 5 is just too many.
This spring, I decided I'd had enough and switched to Sigma. The Sigma computers have a twist lock mechanism that seems more robust. You can find them at REI for $20 to $40 for wired versions. L.L. Bean has the 1606L (lighted with cadence) for $25.
