1 Star Overpriced & disfunctional, its 2008 & cycling engineers still can’t produce a decent wireless cadence/cyclometer for less $100
Read the reviews before purchasing this computer, I read them and chose to believe the better ones.

Basically Vetta doesn’t deliver. I’ve purchased other wireless computers without cadence and they’ve included several options for mounting. This is where Vetta needs to step up. The cyclometer cannot be mounted to a stem. This is so basic, many people don’t have room on the handle bars or in my case have aero handlebars that are shaped like an aerofoil, a time trial setup. I spent considerable time fabricating a mount for the aero bars and remotely locating the wireless pickup. After all was said and done the unit cuts out every now and then. Which renders your trip info useless. And when you start rolling it doesn’t automatically switch from the clock setting to trip/speed information. So if you are more interested in owning an overpriced watch this is the unit for you. Oh I forgot to mention the cadence because it never works, you have to have the receiver so close it’s ridiculous.

Vetta and other manufacturers need to rethink the cyclometer, why is it that a cell phone costs less than a cyclometer? Why is signal strength such a problem and why do we have use wires if we want cadence in the year 2008?

5 Stars Vetta V100 WL2X really delivers. A great computer at a great price!
I commute 25 miles to work every day and take long weekend rides as well. I wanted a Cycling-Computer with Cadence but did not want to pay the big bucks. The Vetta V100-WL2X was under $55. The setup was quick and easy. All of the mounting hardware worked fine and the computer fit perfectly on my handle bars. (Not made to be mounted on the stem) There are 18 functions so the menus take a little getting used to but once you do it does everything you need. It is very accurate for both speed and cadence. The receiver is solid with no drop-outs for both speed or cadence. I did a century ride this weekend and the data from the Vetta matched my GPS almost exactly. A great computer at a great price!

2 Stars lucky i got a good price on it
I’ve been using this computer for less than a year and one of the buttons is already falling off . The unit’s response time is slower than the old ones I had in the 90’s. I should have bought another Cateye. That one lasted me a good five years on my old GT.

1 Star very disappointed
after 15 miles it has malfunctioned. Even with battery changes, realignment, it fails to record any speed or distance. Poor equipment.

1 Star Sensor did not work
Putting it on my bike was pretty easy but I couldn’t get the sensor to work. No matter how much I spun my wheel or how close I put the sensors together, the computer wouldn’t register anything.

I sent it back and got a wired computer, which works perfectly

4 Stars Simple and easy to use
I run the RT88 on 3 of my bikes, and have done for several years. I like the simplicity and low price. I have had no problems with reliability. Battery life is good. I’ve ridden centuries and large group rides in many locations in northern California and haven’t had any problems with interference. This unit has everything I need, nothing I don’t, it’s cheap, reliable and easy to use.

I use more sophisticated units such as Cateye double and Polar on the indoor trainer when I want lots of data, but for road use, I found the Vetta is ideal.

5 Stars Solid product
This model is easy to use and pretty accurate. I bought this one to replace the same model that I had for six years but I managed to smash it up pretty good on a rock . Even after that it still worked but the screen and mounting bracket were cracked. Not that flashy but for the price you can’t beat it.
