4 Stars cateye cc-vl810
Very nice little unit,easy to install.I would of gave it 5 stars, if not for the calorie counter being so inaccurate.Go to the website caloriesperhour.com and click on bike calories burned,the cateye is about 50 to 60 % off.

3 Stars You need really good eyes!
Probably this miny computer works well, but it’s too small and difficult to read …can you immagine to stop in the street and try to read the information you need?

5 Stars Easy to install
I had no trouble installing on my bicycle. I compared to other computers and it was right within .2

5 Stars Good value for money
Finally,I know exactly the distance I am going!Plus average speed max speed and time on the bicycle. The only non accurate display is the calories burnt.I wear a HRM and my number at the end is by far bigger!So don’t rely on this a lot….Easy to mount and use just a push of only one button.I like the cateye products.They look good and they are easy to use.

4 Stars Nice little unit
Got this for my new bike. It’s wired and a breeze to install with the included zip ties. If you’re having issues with the installation go to the cateye website, where there are better instructions than what are included. Only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is because the unit is smaller than I expected and it’s hard to read the smaller letters while you’re riding. Other than that, it works as advertised.

4 Stars Cateye CC-VL510 Bicycle Computer
Unit seems to work well, but picture based directions could be much better. More written detail would certainly help.This product seems sturdy and well built, but carefully plan your installation and be careful about the poor quality of the instruction drawings. I did have a problem in that I didn’t set the device to the proper wheel size. Once that was done all worked well.

4 Stars nice for the price
Can’t complain about this odometer for the price. Easy to install even for a girl. Nice big readout. One problem which I won’t blame on the item, if you wear glasses with poloroid feature, it makes a rainbow affect on the display screen that makes viewing the bottom half of the screen difficult.

4 Stars Nice
Overall a pretty nice, simple little computer. Be warned that it will not look like the picture. The current design doesn’t look as nice and the button is mounted on the top instead of the side. I can’t really complain though, the price was good and it functions really well. The directions could be clearer I guess, but it’s worth the money. Clocking up the miles on the odometer is nice motivation to keep going!

5 Stars I Love It
Functions as a odometer, speedometer, trip meter and clock. It also shows maximum speed. In other words, all the basic functions you need.

The device works by counting the number of times a magnet attached to a spoke of the wheel passes a probe. This is converted into speed and distance with the aid of the diameter of the wheel. The diameter can be specified in centimeters.

Instructions were a little stretchy. It took me a while to figure out how to change the mode from km/h to mph and set the diameter of the wheels. A helpful chart is provided in the instruction to convert the specification of your bike tire to centimeter.

Once the device was installed and programmed, everything worked as expected.

4 Stars simple and straightforward
This product is a great value: it works as advertised, and is simple to install and operate.
