Strengths: noneWeaknesses: it does not work (speed and cadence reads zero or other incorrect value) and the warranty support is almost as good - 4 weeks of waiting for replacement and only because I kept ringing the shop every week. The LBS installed it so there is no issue of "user error", it worked for a first few rides and then it stopped working or worked on and off, erratically.Bottom Line: my review is similar to previous one by Gary Geller, in almost all respects. This computer is rubbish and the Australian CatEye distributor (is it Pacific Brands?) are incompetent (or worse!). I returned it back to the shop and after 4 weeks of waiting and 4 phone calls they are finally giving me a replacement but I dont have any faith in this product or warranty support. Dont buy CatEye cycling computers - this is my honest opinion. I have had 5 cycling computers over last few years - this is the only wired one that did not work at all. Zero out of 5 score, pity 1 is the lowest one on offer.

Strengths: - Small size
- Good performance while it lasted !Weaknesses: - Not reliable
- Looks to have super flimsy cables
- Zero customer serviceBottom Line: Very poor product. Bought for a second bike and the speed sensor stopped working within a month. The shop couldn't figure out why it stopped working, couldn't do anything under the warranty and 3 weeks later the UK distributor has still not responded to my email. My Cateye HR10 heart monitor was also a complete waste of money.
Purchased At: Stows Cycle Shop
Similar Products Used: - Polar CS200CAD (replacement for Cateye HR10) works fantastic.
- Old Cateye Astrale 8 still going strong after several years.

Weaknesses: easy to set up and user friendly, info is displayed nicelyBottom Line: having had a cateye computer for 6 years for me it was easy to pick the brand, My original one is still going strong, but I wanted cadence to have a more techincal approach to my rides and training. Setup was really easy, very user friendly interface, and information is dispalyed in a nice layerout... s for durabilty I will have to wait and see.

Strengths: light weight, easy to set up and use, reasonable size displayWeaknesses: The candence feature stopped working in less than 6 months. When switching between functions the computer can easily slide out of the cradle.Bottom Line: Overall the Strada Cadence is easy to set up and use. The information display is fine (speed could be smaller and other information larger). However, after about 6 months use, the cadence feature stopped working. A test indicated the computer was fine, so the problem is the wiring or sensor. There is no reason either of these should be a problem as there have been no accidents or other events to cause damage. The other computer functions still work fine.
Favorite Ride: any sunny day
