I am in Australia and it is changelable to kph. I have the Strada.

Yes you can. All details in the setup and instructions. I'm in OZ and I'm pretty sure it already came as default to KMs.

Yes, speed and distance can be done in kph and km. That's what I have set up.

Yes at set up you are prompted for kmh or mph.

Yes, you can choose your units. Mine is set into km/h

Absolutely, it is easy to change when setting up your computer, which you need to do to adjust it for wheel/tyre size.

I think they come out of the box set to km anyway, but make sure you set it up correctly for your wheels/tyres.

Yes it does have the option

the default is Kms and you have to change it to miles - so not a biggie for you.

yes it does. Not on the move, you have to select it in your initial set up, but you can choose either.

When you set wheel size/time etc you can choose mph/kph but can't change back without resetting again.

No, just the one.

sorry no

No -just one in the box

No, just the one I'm afraid.

No

No but check out products listed under "computer spares" - I'm sure you can purchase an additional sensor and mounting kit.

no, but i bought a second, for my other rims for £2.99 on this site.

no only one sensor in the box - then again you´d need a bike with exactly the same tyre size

No it doesn't come with a second sensor. you have to buy this separately

No, only speed sensor. There is a separate 'double' computer that comes with cadence and speed.

so waterproof I reckon you could dive with it in your pocket

I have found it to be very waterproof myself, it has coped with wet English weather for about 2 years now and its still going strong.

Hey there, well I've ridden with it during pretty wet weather and have had no issues.

I have had this all through the winter and spring and never had a problem with waterproofing. Or cold.
The batteries are still working despite cold winter that can drain some batteries.

I've used it in heavy rain - no problems - the unit is completely sealed

This has proved faultless through two UK winters. So yes. I'd say its 100% waterproof.

I wouldn't take it scuba diving, but other than that its lack of buttons makes it as waterproof as the best of them.

Recently I got caught in a torrential downpour for 40 minutes. I was soaked through, my spare tube box turned to mush inside my Specialised under-seat bag, the computer was not only working but I could read the display too.

i do take it off when i wash my bike but i have had it out in the rain many times (i live in tasmania) and it didnt worry the computer one bit.

I've used this item on my bike for some time now. I live in South Wales, notoriously one of the wettest places in the UK! I have been out in some real downpours and it has never effected the computer.

Nope everything is included in the package.

Yes and No.

You don't need anything extra to get running but some LED lights will stop the head unit receiving a signal. On winter mornings when using my 1 watt front LED light, I could not get the unit to work. I had to change the light to flash mode or off for it to function.

you shouldn't need anything else, all fixings and fittings supplied.

No. All fixings provided.

Comes with everything you need.

Everything is supplied with the kit. All you have to do is read the instructions and fit it. Took me about 10 mins.

You have everything you need to fit the computer to your bike in the box.

Don't need to buy anything additional, everything you require to fit it is included

I've had the wireless double strada and the now the standard strada, both did not have a back light. You can still read the speed in poor light (small digits are hard), but not good if you need to read on dark roads.

No it does not.

no backlight ability

in a word.
No.

No, it doesn't have a backlight.

NO

No. the Strada has no backlight.

No.

I am not sure if I understand the question well, but miles are recorded only when the device is on. The device turns on automatically, when the magnet on the wheel rolls around the sensor.

If the unit has be standing for a long time it goes into an idle battery saving mode. Before you commence riding you need to press on the unit to re-activate it. From then on it is always monitoring until you stop for a long time. I've never had to re-set it on any rides include when stopped at lights, crossing, or being stationary for 15 mins.

all miles while batts fitted

if its got both batteries and the wheel turns it records it . odometer is never reset and thiers two trip meters which can be reset indapendantly .

It records the distance you have covered on three screens. you have to zero each one separately but the cumulative one can only be deleted by a reset. The unit remains on all the time going into a sleep mode if left. I've had 18months out of my battery so far

As soon as the bike moves the odometer will turn on. If it is not working possibly the magnet is too far away from the sensor, it must be 5mm, or it wont read.

As long as the unit is recording the speed and current mileage it will put it into the odometer, however if you do a hard reset then the computer will wipe all the information including the odometer.

The device cannot really be turned off just put into sleep mode

according to the manual and I've tested it in practice, you have to push one of the buttons to wake it up. once in stand by mode, the odo will operate continuously

No. You need the sensor and the screen to be a maximum of 70cm appart. As the front wheel doesn't turn on a turbo you would need to fit it to the rear wheel so you wouldn't be in range.

The computer must be reasonably close to the sensor and facing towards it so I don't see how the sensor can be attached to the back wheel unless you just want to check the figures after training (or ride back the front!)

The device goes on the front wheel and needs to be in this proximity to the computer on your bars. Front wheel which won't move on a turbo, so I don't think so.

no it works off front wheel only.

Try the double wireless with cadence works off rear wheel

If your front wheel is moving it will work - dont see why you could not hook up to back wheel if needed.

The range of the device stated on the box is less than distance to back wheel so I would say no, but I never tried it.

It would work as long as you fitted the sensor to the frame by the rear wheel, and not to the front forks.

No, the magnet attaches to the front wheel. If you want one that works on the home-trainer, the CATEYE STRADE DOUBLE WIRELESS CADENCE has a magnet that attaches to the rear wheel. It's more expensive because of the cadence feature.

You can enter any wheel size manually (to the millimetre). Even the wheels sizes quoted on the chart supplied have to be entered manually.

You can - included in instructions.

There's a (long) table of standard wheel sizes you can choose from.

I think you'd have to riding something highly unusual for this to be a problem

Yes you can set the wheel size manually. The sizes Cateye give in the instructions are way out. I measured my wheel with a tape measure.

yes you can. They show you how to measure your tire, and it's down to the nearest mm. Then plugg that number into the computer and you;re done.

Yes you can. I would imagine that the person may be referring to the instruction manual rather than the unit. The unit can accept 1mm increments in wheel circumference. There is a table of these in the manual and it covers the "normal" sizes in each bike form, such as road race wheels, mtb knobbies, mtb slicks, etc. It doesn't list every possibility though so my recommendation would be (and I would recommend this ANYWAY) is to do a rollout measurement of the tire and use that value in the computer.

Wiggle sell the batteries. Go to cycle - Cat eye or search for "Cateye 2032 Battery"

my last battery lasted just under 2 years and I have found that CR2032 (a common 3v lithium battery for calculators etc) work very well and are inexpensive.

There are loads of shops that sell these batteries now days. You can get them from Argos, Curry's, jewelry shops, chemists, electrical stores and probably loads more. I get mine from a guy that changes watch batteries on the high street from a little wooden kiosk.

Yes the battery is replaceable. I am almost certain the code is CR1620 or CR1616 - either of those would do. They are disk type watch batteries. I just did a search on the web for those codes and bought a pack of four since I have got 3 strada cycle computers and they all use the same batteries.

yes. its a standard watch type battery, and i bought mine from Tesco's.

I have just replaced the batteries in mine after about a year. They're standard circular 2032 batteries, available from most shops. Got mine from Sainsburys.

no. The wireless sensor cant send the information to the unit. I bought a wired version, and its great for turbo training.

yes odo resets.

Probably not - there is a 70cm limit of the wireless transmission range. Also, the bracket is designed for a front fork so may not fit on your seat stays.

not if you want to see speed or times while your training . distance from sender unit to computer is max 70cm with no metal bits inbetween .

Tricky one that as the sensor on the front fork can only be a max of 500mm from the wireless computer on the handlebars.

If you put it on the rear fork it might be too far for the computer to read it...it might go at a longer distance but I've never tried.

The computer and sensor will be out of range, if you attach it to the back wheel,so it will not work. Buy the double cateye wireless. In this system You can attach the sensor to the rear chain stay and mount the unit on the stem.
