"I wanted a reasonable cost cycle computer that would provide cadence and heart rate. This unit was very easy to install, the modular unit for fitment to the chainstay is a superb design and saves a lot of effort. I fitted it to my Rose Xenon without any problems and because its wireless no unsightly wires to feed up to the stem. The computer is relatively easy to set up but I noticed on first set up that you are meant to format the device but I never seemed to get this feature to work. Also mine came with a flat battery for the heart sensor and Wiggle sent me a replacement immediately. IT had its first outing at the Peterborough Action Medical 100 last weekend and it performed faultessly. It's a very compact unit but provides clear and concise information. I am very pleased with this and can highly reommend."
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Lightweight, Good Fit

"Well contructed and compact unit. Have used this a couple of times since purchasing and it has been a revelation cycling down unlit country roads on my commute. My old light finally gave up on me and although it was bright I found the beam rather narrow and pencil like. This light is brighter and has a wider beam even on the medium setting it is plenty bright enough for most purposes. You get used to the light switch and it works well enough. Too early to tell how long the handlebar mount will last but I have ordered another spare for my other bike. I noticed that they seem to do an alloy mount for double the price of the plastic model, this might be a more roubust unit. Cannot comment on lifetime of the battery yet but having a spare battery is useful. Only irritation I noticed is that the micro USB socket on the light is recessed sufficiently that the USB does not robuslty plug into it and so if you knock it you need to make sure it is stil connected and charging, I have used mine with my laptop and hence moves around a bit."

"Recently bought this at a discount and is excellent value at this price point. The helmet comes with a "hat box" and name/address tag, bag for the helmet, separate attachable visor, mesh lining, lining without mesh and a set of separate pads. I have left it with the mesh lining made the circumference adjustment using the dial at the back and the height adjustment to get the fit just right. Rode for a couple of hours and you can hardly feel the helmet is there. Initially there was some pressure right at the front of the helmet but this has gone and if it was persistent depending on the shape of your head it would probably be relieved by the separate pads that come with it. Quality of construction is very good and the helmet is very light my commuter helmet is a Bell weighing 360 gms and the LAS is considerably lighter. I like the magnetic clip for closing the chin strap and the velcro cover around the strap to make it comfortable. An excellent helmet that exudes quality and is great to wear."
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit

"My first bib tights, I am 6ft 1", almost 80kg and the large size were just right and fit very well. The material is very stretchy and quite thin so my legs felt a little colder than the tights I had been using before but once I got going it was no longer noticeable. I did 36 miles this weekend and the temperature topped out at 8 deg and the tights felt warm and comfortable. They look good and seem to well made so I expect them to last. The padding is very good and comfortable all in all I am very pleased with these and may order another pair."

"Have yet to fit these, bought a range of sizes but the quality and feel of them is good and do not anticipate any performance issues and they are a pretty good colour match to the spacers on my Trek so will not be noticeable. Very good value when compared to many other spacers on the market, it's only an alloy metal ring after all."

"Does a much better job than a conventional spanner for removing/fitting pedals, fits easily between the narrow gap between pedal and crank with more than enough leverage. Well made, looks like it will last and has to be excellent value for money. Arguably could be slighty thicker at the jaws but it's been fabricated from a single sheet steel with a coating on the handle which explains how they have kept the price down. Highly recommended."

Is the heart rate monitor suitable for women?
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes, it's a standard heart rate monitor on an elastic strap that fits around the lower chest, it's not critical from my experience

Does this computer come with a mount? Is there anything else which has to be purchased to allow me to install it on my bike and have cadence and
heart rate displayed while riding?
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes, this comes with a mount to allow installation either on the stem or the handlebars. The heart rate is displayed while riding and you can also display average and maximum

im 180cm 100cm waist 94cm chest 100cm what size you think fit best with one base layer.
Top 1000 Contributor
I have a 100cm chest and bought the medium, it's a stretchy garment anyhow and I don't want it flapping about when I ride. I shall be using a thermal shirt underneath it when it gets colder, it isn't going to make a big difference to the fit.

Which base layer to go with this?
Firstly can you wear this with nothing underneath?
And then when it's colder, any base layer recommendations?
And then when it's colder, any base layer recommendations?
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes, I wear this with nothing underneath, comforatable and warmer than a conventional jersey. When it gets colder I shall be using a conventional thermal undershirt from Helly Hansen

The supremely compact 8 function Cateye Strada is now available with a valuable cadence function for those riders wanting to monitor their training more accurately.
Will the Cateye Cadence work on a spin bike?
Top 1000 Contributor
If all you want is the cadence function then as long as you can get the magnet on the crank arm and mount the static sensor so that the magnet is sweeping closely past it every revolution it should work.

Designed to make it easy to attach your Petzl headlamp to a helmet.
Which model Petzl do they fit?
I have a Petzl Tikka XP and wanted these included in the delivery of my next 2 Petzl Tikka XP. I do not want to have to pay extra postage and due to there being no photo I cannot tell what they are compatible with. Thank you.
Top 1000 Contributor
They are fairly generic clips would fit all the elasticated bands on a Petzl and you should be able to get them to clip on most helmets
