This product is a great value: it works as advertised, and is simple to install and operate.

Imagine getting a new digital watch after having had only the usual mechanical type, and then setting it up without instructions. Well, this Cateye CC-VL510 bike speedometer is just like that. The functions are a delight. It is compact, but easy to use and easy to see. Too bad the instructions are just the opposite. The instructions are printed on onionskin paper – thin, like toilet paper, and in teeny 2-point typeface. Very hard to read! Also, the text is miminimal, as the manufacturer chose to use illustrations instead, somewhat like an inexpensive plastic model airplane. I would buy this speedometer again, because, in the end, I am pleased at the way it works. It is a clever device, inexpensive, and I recommend it to you. But take your time studying the instructions and don’t expect installation to be intuitive or quick. When you are finally done, setup will then seem logical and simple – but it won’t seem that way while you are struggling to install this little gem!

Does its job for a reasonable price. But trip time instead of clock time would be preferable, and the adhesive pad & tie-wrap handlebar mounting is ‘tool-free’, but most of us have a screwdriver. For a few dollars more, the Mity-8, which I also have, has a better mount, shows trip time, and will switch trip parameters to a larger display digits for easy reading. I’ll keep this one, but another time I’d go with the -8.

The computer has been very reliable. The numbers are easy to read. The weak spot is the wired sensor that goes on the fork. Its just a thin wire and somehow mine broke inside. I replaced the sensor part and it worked again.
