Revitalized an old rear wheel trainer bike cateye strata cadence without having to buy a new unit! Can once again track workouts on the Kurt Kinetic and trainer bike.

My Strada started giving erratic readings for speed while the cadence readings were fine. A new battery didn’t fix the problem, so I decided the speed sensor must be bad. My Strada unit works like new now.

I had to purchase this item because my sensor cable snapped during a ride. Since my cateye is old (2010), I didn't think I'd be able to find the sensors. Luckily I was able to find this product. They are identical to to the old sensors. They work great!

Went on great, worked great, instructions were clear, had everything needed. Just wish it had more protection tape or thicker gauge wiring - if a spot rubs thin in the wiring there's about no hope in patching or soldering it yourself.Otherwise, does exactly what it needs to.

I bought this kit after my bike was stolen but they did not get my Cateye sender unit.Beware you are paying $20 for a "Bracket Sensor Kit" that does not include the bracket that mounts the cateye computer to your handlebars/stem. Also not included are the spoke and cadence magnets. By the time I ordered all these separately I could damn near buy an entire new Cateye RD200 cadence bike computer.

I ordered this to replace a wheel sensor whose wire frayed and broke off after repeated adjustments due to being knocked around during use and many wheel removals. The replacement worked properly after being installed. An added benefit is that it comes with a replacement head unit mount, as the catch that kept my head unit securely in place had also broken after repeated removals and reinstallings (it's a lot easier to read and record each ride's stats with the head unit off the bike).But this also highlights this device's faults. First, there's no way to repair a wire that breaks off at the sensor, as the sensors can't be opened with a tool and appear to be glued shut. Same thing for the mount for the head unit. If the wire breaks off at any of these, the entire assembly has to be replaced. At twenty dollars, that's a lot.Second, the catch that secures the head unit in place tends to break after many removal and reinstallation cycles, and can't be fixed. You either have to keep an eye on it while riding, or replace the whole assembly. The problem with a broken catch isn't just that the head unit could fall off if you hit a bump, but if it slides forward just a bit, it loses contact with the metal pins in the mount, and it stops recording your activity.Also, the instructions say that the gap between each sensor and magnet should be no more than 3mm. This is all but impossible to achieve with many of today's bikes and wheels. This should come with extra shims to close the gap when needed. Thankfully, the sensors usually work fine with gaps as wide as 1cm, so it's not a big issue, but there have been times when they weren't picking up the magnets.Plus, although it wasn't an issue for me, some of today's bikes have really wide tubes, requiring extra-long zip ties. These should also be included in the packaging, or they should sell one specifically intended for such bikes.My next computer will either be wireless, or better yet, a smartphone paired with wireless sensors, probably Bluetooth. There are already such devices being sold, but they're Bluetooth 4.0, and my current smartphone isn't compatible with that and can't be upgraded to it. Hopefully, this replacement assembly will hold me over till I get a new smartphone.

I was no longer getting a speed/distance read out, so I figured I had to replace the sensor. The reinstall was pretty easy and my computer works like new again, but I do have some qualms with the setup. My bike's frame shape doesn't have your typical cylindrical tube frame design, hence when it came time to secure the wires around my frame, I had to link two wire ties together to make it around my down tube. Thus, there weren't enough wire ties in the kit to secure the wires near the back tire. Luckily, I had a few left over from previous projects, so I didn't have to make a hardware store run. So, if you don't have a standard tubular frame, I'd suggest stocking up on extra wire ties. Secondly, I wish Cateye would use a larger gauge wire for the harness. It seems pretty fragile and I wouldn't be surprised if mine has issues again in the near future. Anyhow, next time it happens I'm going to opt for the wireless computer.
