Vetta wireless computers
I'm thinking of getting the Vetta-100 wireless computer. I want cadence.
Are they reliable re transmission? Otherwise? My road bike is 54 cm if distance from the sensors to the computer can be a factor. TIA. Roy |

I used one for awhile (not cadence though), but the sensor alignment was too finicky, and as big as the sensor/transmitter is, it easily gets knocked around. Even just normal vibrations and bumps would get it out of alignment. The zip ties just don't seem to be able to hold it in place -- maybe some adhesive would help. - mark |

I had a V100HR with wireless cadence and speed.
Thing was far more robust than the Polar 720 I have now. You could place the sensors on the back chainstay and still get readings with accuracy. If they had the ability to download data I would still be using it. "Roy Gordon" wrote in message . .. I'm thinking of getting the Vetta-100 wireless computer. I want cadence.

roy- I'm thinking of getting the Vetta-100 wireless computer. I want cadence.
Are they reliable re transmission? Otherwise? My road bike is 54 cm if distance from the sensors to the computer can be a factor. BRBR Look at the new Cateye double wireless. The transmitter for both the cadence and speed are in one unit mounted on the chainstay...neat idea.

My road bike is 54 cm if distance from the sensors to the computer can be a factor. TIA. Roy Been using the V100 for two years now on a 54 cm frame. Except for a defective unit that failed within 1 month (and quickly replaced by the shop), it has worked fine. Just put fresh batteries in at the start of the season. Never had any wireless interference that caused the unit to not work. Went on a 50 mile ride the other day - it exactly turned 25 miles at the end of the outward leg of the trip and likewise turned 50 just as I returned. My only issues a 1) I wish it displayed distance to 1/100 of a mile rather than 1/10 (not a big deal, just a minor desire), and 2) if I manually stop the unit it seems to not want to consistantly restart unless the bike is not moving when pushing the start/stop button. |

Any idea where I can get a chest belt for my Vetta? I e-mailed the
company but never got a response. Gary Qui si parla Campagnolo wrote: roy- I'm thinking of getting the Vetta-100 wireless computer. I want cadence. Are they reliable re transmission? Otherwise?
