What customers say about "Key Specs"
CatEye Padrone (CC-PA100W) Black, One Size
- I have had this unit for several months now and although it was tricky to set up the first time, the unit does its job.
- I really like this computer because I can read it without having to wear reading glasses. All the basic functions. That's all I want and need. It looks cool too.
- Works great, dependable and easy to set up. Basic functions are all I need and the large display is perfect for a quick glance.
- Very easy to install. Has all the functions I need not to mention the big display that makes the reading easy and at a glance!
- Needed a new wireless computer that has big enought numbers to easily be seen, and this fit the bill.
CatEye Strada Wireless (CC-RD300W) Wireless Bicycle Computer
- BUT, it's a tiny device that has to do a lot of functions, so I'm letting all that slide. :)
- It does all the functions you really care about, even some that I haven't tested yet. Installation is pretty painless, if not as intuitive as I needed.
- It's been very accurate. I like the automatic sleep function, I dont need to mess with turning it on and off, or fiddling with it when I take water breaks.
- Lots of functions and very easy to reset trip distance and time by holding down for a few seconds.
- The functionality of this one is similar, but the single-button feature is head-and-shoulders better.
- The only feature that works when my light is on is the clock.

What customers say about "Features"
CatEye Padrone (CC-PA100W) Black, One Size
- The display is VERY easy to read, and the click for mode switching works great.
- With large, easy to read numbers. It is very comfortable to handle with gloves and very easy to mount on my stem. Really pleased! If you look for a computer, this is the answer!
- Love this nice big screen! Very very easy to read.
- It is easy to deal with changing screens on the rid. Does what I need and does it well vs. does everything for everyone but is 500 layers deep to do so...
- Big screen, great features, good price. Love it!
CatEye Strada Wireless (CC-RD300W) Wireless Bicycle Computer

What customers say about "Battery"
CatEye Padrone (CC-PA100W) Black, One Size
- I also like that it uses the same kind of battery for main unit and transmitter.
- Been using this on several bikes for years. No problems so far. Original batteries.
- The only thing I wonder about is how long the battery will last in this computer.
- Two hours, two more bought new batteries and this has yet to work.
- The unit resets and randomly dies with brand new name brand batteries.
CatEye Strada Wireless (CC-RD300W) Wireless Bicycle Computer
- The batteries last a long time. I just replaced the battery in the display after 2500 miles and three years.
- Its now been a couple years and I had to change the battery - EASY!
- My experience with the battery change was great. I noticed they were low when the computer began performing a little awry.
- Battery life is average. The wireless components mean you have to replace more batteries.
- Battery life is great. It is all wireless. I have had mine for 3years now and not one issue.
