Product Information
Full details
The Cateye Strada Slim Computer is an ideal choice for road cyclists who prioritize an aerodynamic, minimalist cockpit without sacrificing essential data tracking. It offers a larger, more legible display in a profile that is significantly thinner and lighter than its predecessors, though its slim aesthetic requires more precise sensor alignment compared to bulkier wireless units.

FAQs
Does the Strada Slim support dual tire sizes?
Yes, it is capable of storing two separate tire size profiles, allowing you to easily swap between two different bike setups.
How does the ClickTec button work?
The entire head unit acts as a large button. You simply press the bottom of the screen to cycle through your data functions.
Is the unit waterproof?
It is designed to be weather-resistant and can handle rain, but it should not be submerged in water or cleaned with a pressure washer.
What battery does it use?
The Strada Slim uses a CR1616 lithium battery, chosen for its efficiency and compact size.
Will this work with my indoor trainer?
As long as the speed sensor is positioned correctly on the wheel that remains in motion, it will record speed and distance while on a trainer.
Does it include a pace arrow?
Yes, the pace arrow indicates whether your current speed is faster or slower than your average speed for the ride.
Troubleshooting
Computer display is blank
Check the battery level and ensure the battery contacts are clean and properly aligned.
Speed readings are inconsistent or not showing
Check the gap between the speed sensor and the magnet; ensure it is within 3-5mm and that the magnet passes directly by the sensor indicator line.
ClickTec button not registering input
Ensure the head unit is fully seated in the mount; excessive tension or improper mounting can sometimes interfere with the button sensitivity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Strada Slim, mount the head unit to your handlebars or stem using the included universal mount. The key to successful performance is the installation of the thin speed sensor on the fork; ensure the magnet on the spoke and the sensor are aligned with a gap of approximately 3-5mm. For the best result, double-check that the sensor is secure before your first ride. The device supports dual tire size settings, making it convenient if you switch between training and racing wheelsets. To clean, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid high-pressure water, as this can compromise the internal seals despite the unit being weather-resistant.
