CATEYE Fietscomputer Velo 9 CC-VL820

A friend had me purchase this. Good buy!

Ya había tenido anteriormente uno de la misma marca, el cual dejo de funcionar después de varios años de uso, por lo que decidí comprar otro de la misma marca y hasta el momento me ha funcionado sin ningún problema, fácil de configurar e instalar, si lo volvería a comprar

Quick delivery. As described. Thanks.

I've used CatEye biking computers for years on several different bikes, so I was familiar with the basic setup. But for the Velo 9 I found the mostly illustrated instructions confusing, because I wanted to specify the exact circumference of my tires to get accurate distance readings. And I didn't care to measure this manually. I might have chosen 700c but looking carefully I saw that this could give (an unspecified) difference from my own tire circumference. The solution was to choose the 205 option (which is a choice for circumference) and then increment this number the the one indicated in the table of various sizes. So following the illustrations I incremented the number (first units, then tens) to the size indicated in the table for 700-38c tires, which is 218. Pressing and holding the mode button completed the choice for size.From there everything was familiar except my installation which was different from typical, in which the magnet and sensor are mounted on a front wheel. I am using the Velo 9 on a bicycle attached to a trainer so I wanted to measure revolutions of the rear wheel. The wire from the sensor to the display is too short to reach the handlebars, but luckily my bike, a Schwinn CrissCross, has a step-through top tube that is lower than the typical male bike and the wire does reach from the rear to near the front of the top tube.One question I had about choosing the CatEye Velo 9 was what is the difference between Velo 7 and Velo 9? The answer was on the second page of the setup instructions - Velo 9 is identical except that it can calculate Calories and Carbon Offset (CO2). If I had known this I would have opted for the slightly cheaper Velo 7. I had not seen a list of differences anywhere else.I am pleased with my setup and with the displays of the Velo 9. It works well for me.

I wanted a hard wired, simple, and easy to read cycling computer to replace a different brand wireless that had fallen off after a few months. I was somewhat confused by the variation in pricing (2x) for the Velo9 on Amazon, but decided to try the least expensive one, and take a chance. It turned out to be a good decision. The Velo9 from this vendor arrived 2 days before products ordered at the same time and shipped by Amazon. It was complete with several pages of instructions. The installation instructions were decent, and in multiple languages. It also showed that there were three different mounts for the computer, and on the least expensive version I had it was the simplest. It appears to be mounted securely with zip ties allowing for flexibility of positions. Using YouTube videos saved some time particularly on the set-up. The set and clear buttons are on the back of the unit are poorly labeled, and the videos helped locate them and when to use them. I have not had the unit but for a few days, so cannot speak to the durability. Very pleased so far.
