4 Stars Excellent cheap cyclometer w/ cadence
The Vetta RT77 is an excellent, yet cheap cyclometer with cadence. It isn’t overly fancy, but it is sturdy and relatively easy to use. Unless you’re looking for wireless, there’ no reason to spend more.
4 Stars Great for checking cadence
I purchased this product specifically because I wanted an easy (and cheap) way to check my cadence during spin workouts.
This unit was very easy to set up using the included instructions although I did have to do a minimal amount of jury-rigging due to having a spin cycle instead of a bicycle. I appropriated a magnet from an old refrigerator magnet for the speed/distance measurement because the included magnet is not made to attach to a fly wheel. For the cadence measurement I had to create a mount for the sensor so that the magnet attached to the crank would activate it. I also used a tape measure and Google (for the math formulas) to come up with the circumference of the fly wheel to enter into the computer.
All in all it appears to be fairly accurate and I am very pleased with my purchase.
4 Stars Simple and effective, but lots of wires
I purchased the Vetta RT77 as my first cyclometer. This was the most basic recommended model I could find that had cadance. Installation went well and the unit functions very nicely, though the instructions were not clear in places. Everything works and works well. When, not if, I replace this cyclometer with a better one it will be wireless as the mess of wires is a little ugly even after spending some time carefully routing and dressing them. I will walk carefully through the interface of the next cyclomter as this one is at least a little unintuitive. After a couple of weeks of use I’m still having to stop, look at the display, and think for a minute to get to the display I want when I want a change.
That said the Vetta RT77-13 is a great value and worked well for me.
