Kept my eye out for it but couldn't see it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2412#post-25703 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:35:27 +0000 kaputnik 25703@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I threw my first Cateye Enduro 8 in the bin when I was madly tidying my house up for visitors... The replacement has survived various amounts of abuse in its 6 month lifespan. The RSP15 front light has made a habit of shaking loose on bad cobbly surfaces if it isn't soundly clicked in but has survived 2 such dismounts with only moderate cracks appearing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2412#post-25685 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 12:01:13 +0000 wingpig 25685@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmmm. I'm very low on handlebar-space so smaller is better, especially when I tend to not glance at it often enough to either notice when the magnet is mounted on another wheel or that the computer itself has jumped overboard.<br /> How much d'you pay for your new/old Mity and how much would you want for the Micro (and how have you found the wirelessness versus blinky lights)? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2412#post-25672 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 10:44:24 +0000 Arellcat 25672@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wingpig, I recently bought a new-old-stock Mity 8 to replace my Cateye Micro wireless, whose 70cm transmission distance is being tested to its limits on my Brompton. I haven't got around to doing the swap yet but the Micro would become surplus to requirements.</p> <p>Alternatively, I'm really liking my Planet Bike Protege 8.0 computer which I bought for my monstrous invisiblebike. Functionally much like the Enduro/Mity/Micro, with the no-buttons of the Strada, and the screen size of a Panoram. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2412#post-25664 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 09:13:38 +0000 steveo 25664@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I lost a two week old mitty under the wheels of a double decker, case was fine screen wasn't...</p> <p>Never did replace it, still got the mount on my bars. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2412#post-25661 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 08:53:54 +0000 thebikechain 25661@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That sound is horrible ain't it. I always remember when my cherry bomb 1 escaped. The crunch of it dying at the feet of an Astra still haunts me. </p> <p>Cherry bomb 2 live on with glory. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2412#post-25658 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 08:09:58 +0000 wingpig 25658@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The plastic skittering noise I heard last night made me check that my phone was still in my pocket and that all lights were still attached but I didn't notice the absence of computer until I tried to check my distance a little later on. If anyone sees the chipped and shattered remains of a CatEye Enduro 8 anywhere on Bruntsfield Place between Leamington Terrace and Tollcross I'd be grateful for its return, or at least for the odometer reading.</p> <p>Before I replace it with one identical (which will only be my third; the first survived being laundered but was too warped to fit the bracket) has anyone used anything else around that price point? </p>
