Bike Setup:
Felt Z35, Shimano wheels, Shimano 105 group with DA RD, and FSA gossamer crank.

Summary:
Being the first cycle computer I have ever owned I must say I found the V3 to be quite accurate with its readings. The web was full of "Wireless has a tendency to give false readings, or miss signals and report missing information." However I have found the V3 to be quite correct in the information gathered wirelessly. The cadence and BPM of heart rate are as far as I can tell accurate. There might be a very slight delay of maybe up to 1 second on the heart rate monitor to catch up if you start really hammering on the crank. But it's not noticeable unless you are really staring at the monitor and looking to nitpick. The unit is small but oddly enough the digital readout is easy to read. The size of the unit makes you think the display will be to small to read but it's not. Its quite large. You have to see it to understand but the display is great. Mounting is a snap with the included flex mounting system. Which is basically a glorified twist tie. But it works great, fits as tight as you want it to and wont scuff your paint. The display slips out of the mount so you can take it off and carry it with you if you wish. The directions for mounting the sensor are 7/10. They could be a little clearer perhaps but with the illustrations even I figured out how to get the sensors mounted. I really recommend the V3 if you are looking for a good computer with HR and Cadence sensors. You will not regret it.

Strengths:
Display is easy to read. Display is small and easy to mount and remove. Wireless. Sensors are easy to install. Accurate readings via wireless. Well made.

Weaknesses:
If I had to pick a weakness it might be the buttons on the display unit are a bit small and stiff. Difficult to use while riding. Another weakness is there is no way to upload data from the unit to log and chart your stats. Manually entering data into Mapmyride.com is tedious.
