Review on ๐Ÿšด CATEYE - Velo 7 Wired Bike Computer for Enhanced SEO, CC-VL520 by Devin Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's simple: bike computer

Installation was very easy. I first watched a YouTube video about wired sensors, but it's really easy. You take a small magnet and unscrew it to attach it to the front spokes so that the magnet is as close to the center of the wheel stud as possible, the magnet is facing you when you are sitting on the right front wheel. Then you take a wired sensor and attach it to the part of the bike that holds the wheel. There is a sticky double-sided adhesive strip that can be used to secure it in place. The sensor should be mounted a little closer to the inside of the bike handlebars so that when the front wheel spins and spins a bit, it goes right past the sensor well. He won't read unless you're close enough. The wire is then tightened to allow the control panel to be attached. There is another double-sided adhesive tab to temporarily attach the mount to the bike. The panel slides off the mount, so make sure you mount it where it can slide. Once you have everything on the bike, there are small holes on the sensor shaft and panel mount that you can insert zips into to secure the devices more tightly. The ends of the cords are inserted into the square cord through the side holes with small holes, otherwise the cords will not be tightened. To set up the device, you need a needle or paperclip to press the desired button on the back. I watched a translated YouTube video on it, but basically when you toggle the mode buttons with different indicators, flip the panel and press the right small button that clears the screen, then press the mode button on the Front of the control panel, and it will switch to MPH, then on the back, use a paper clip to press the center pin-sized button to adjust. Now it is always displayed in miles per hour. Do the same for tire circumference and time. I find the device easy to read and easy to assemble.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Doesn't go with everything
