- Learning how to setup a Cateye Strada Double Wireless Computer can be tough.
Cateye Strada Double Wireless (affiliate link): amzn.to/2tEZCOW
The Cateye Strada Double Wireless is one of the most popular bicycle computers around. But with only 2 buttons to navigate the menu, it is not the most intuitive menu system around. Luckily, you have this video to walk you through the proper setup!
Other common Tire Circumference Codes: 700C Tubular = 2130, 650x23C = 1944, 29x2.1 = 2288, and 29x2.3 = 2326

+Inside endurance sport. Thank you for the timely response. I didn't think of that. I am going to try that method now .
Thank you for making such a thorough but straightforward video. I lost the instructions years ago and had to reset my system. This made it infinitely easier!
Well thank you for taking the time to comment! Glad the video could help!
How is head removed from mounting strap[ from Cats Eye computer RThank youy
Great video - great onscreen and offscreen instructions. I love the Cateye Padrone computer but what a chore to set the time!
Helpful video. I thought it was a screw type cover over the battery. The safety pin trick was perfect.
Glad it worked for you! I think other people have commented here that you can just press into the battery cover to get it to pop off, but that hasn't worked for me so well. Therefore I resort to the safety pin - but it does cause a little damage to the plastic occasionally (but not enough for me to really worry about).
Nice, detailed video. I have done a few videos on my channel on cateye strada. The number one suspect is usually the sensor and the magnet. (The distance between those two) Even the inexpensive battery can last long time. Speaking about my personal experience, I usually need to be within 5-6mm range for the magnet and sensor to work. Than if that fails, I look at the battery.
Btw I subbed to follow and support. Lovely channel.
Thumbs up

Important to point out you must hold the sensor and computer AT LEAST 20cm apart for pairing to work
Highly informative video thank you for the upload.
Happy to help, thanks for watching!
Thankyou saves reading through a tiny manual :-)
You're welcome!
Very useful video. Thanks
Glad it could help! Happy riding!
Hi great information, would you know what code is 26inch wheel please?
The thing I don't like on this device is, when you change the battery you lose all data. I bought my bike new and wanted to track the miles long term. Another issue is the holding tape gets hot and the device slips on the handle bars.
I have the similar computer that says Digital Wireless as compared to Double Wireless on yours. Written vertically on the right side.
Thanks to you it works.Thank you so much. my daughter and I are extremely greatful.
+George Gilles Awesome glad to hear that!
Great instructions on here. I just set up a friends computer using this video. Some one below has commented already however I will repeat this "THE FONT ON THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TOO SMALL!!!. Ok I am 65 years old but guess what folks. Take a look at whos out there riding. Not too many teenagers. Wake up Cateye and look who's using your computers. PS: This is why I no longer use this product. Buy a Wahoo!
I have lost the rubber support on which the cadence is put.
Also do I also need a battery on the cadence
Any idea why once paired speed and heart rate show but not cadence?
just bought a used bike that had this exact model , thank you for this video. i have one question you did not cover, is there a way to turn it off in between rides?
Glad it could help! I don't think you can power it down. Instead it goes into a power saving mode when it's not being used. Here is what the instruction manual says: "If the computer has not received a signal for 10 minutes, power-saving mode will activate and only the clock will be displayed. When the computer receives a sensor signal again, the measuring screen reappears. If 60 minutes’ inactivity elapses, power-saving mode will change to SLEEP mode. Pressing the MODE in SLEEP mode brings up the measuring screen."
From my experience with this computer the batteries last for several months. I also by the CR2032 batteries from Ikea because you can get a giant pack of them for a few dollars. That covers me for years on a few devices like this one that use that battery.
I have a cateye but without the sensor, will it really work without the sensor?
Thankyou much appreciated 👍
Glad I could help!
Okay, I ride a recumbent, see picture. So by double wireless does that mean to transmitters on the wheel and two receivers on the main unit? Also do you think it has the range? The wheel mounted unit and the handle bar unit will be about twice the distance from each other as on a normal bike. P.S. any idea what the code is for a 20x1.75 wheel/tire combo?
Hey James! First off, the "double wireless" refers to the fact that it has wireless connections for speed (coming from the wheel) and cadence (coming from the crank). I think it should have the range you need, but I have only used this setup on standard sized road bikes so far. As far as your wheel/tire combo - I believe the code you need is 1515. Hope that helps!
how can you rest the whole thing
just picked up a used CC-RD420DW and i'm having a hard time removing the computer from its base.
Anyone have the same problem? It's a bit of a pain in the neck.
By not starting with hitting the reset button on the COMPUTER first the chance of then pairing with the sending unit is greatly diminished.
thanks for the video! I can't find anywhere instructions on how to pair this device to my phone!!! any help would be appreciated!!
Unfortunately this particular model doesn't connect to your phone. I think you need to find one with Bluetooth and Strada Smart technology.
So you can't upload any data?! Crazy
Yep, as far as I know this is just for you to enjoy the data on the device itself. It's pretty old school - maybe they imagine you then fill out your workout log by hand?
What is the secret to getting the clamp piece off so you can get at the modes. I cannot set the time on mine as I cannot get the damn thing off!!!!
Sir why is that it not sync with the sensor.
How can I replace the battery and not erase my distance traveled and my data?
Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Happy to help!
Alguien que sepa ayudarme con el funcionamiento ni hablo ingles lo compre no se como usarlo gracias o un Link en español gracias
Awesome video. Could you tell me what is the code for 29x2.25?
Thanks :)
Hmmm, I'm not really sure. I just looked up the wheel code chart and they have codes for 29x2.1 (2288) and 29x2.3 (2326) - but I don't see one for 29x2.25. I suppose 29x2.3 is the closer of the two. I don't know how much that will mess up your speed/distance stats to be off by .05 . . .
Here is a link to the manual with the wheel code chart if you want to take a look yourself: www.cateye.com/files/manual_dl/5/400/CC-RD100N_ENG_v6.pdf
@@InsideEndurance Wow, thanks for super fast reply :)
Yeah, my guess too is to go for 29x2.3, I will test it and see what the results are.
Once again, thanks :)
@@zleezoo Sure thing! Good luck!
@@InsideEndurance I've been looking for this, thank you for the link!
My sensors are not getting synced, I need help please
Everything else works but it doesn't read cadence. It is what it is at this point. I'm happy with the results.
+George Gilles I actually was having the same issue at the end of last season. I haven't been on my bike much lately so I don't know what was the deal with that either. If I have time this weekend I will take a look and let you know if I can find something that may be a common issue.
thank You
Happy to help!!
Thank you for making such a helpful video. The people who made the print instructions must have been on crack.
haha thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
My screen hows Un It. I can change the km/miles mode, nothing else. I have just installed new battery.
Is the default code for a standard road bike?
The default code of 2096 is for 700x23C tires - which I believe are the most common. I hope that helps!
How to turn this thing on?
What is the code for 700x25 tires?
I believe it is 2105. Hope that helps!
Is the display backlit?
Mine is not. I’m not sure if they have added this feature in the years since I purchased mine.
What is the code for 559x20
This size isn't on any of the official CatEye charts I could find, but try 1905. Do you have a GPS watch you can use to double check the speed that it gives you? Here is a link to a forum discussion I found about this particular tire size: answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130705112109AAZSwj2&guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACAPelB4_RnV6NOx3Xt539yxoqjU0wnj-RqJkUtXunxNwS5MNTp_fcRh1Sehbo0swdE3fS8ozUg6z-5qY2U6wOw_K9Et_jwulPfppzVNL1uBvxmo6I9uLFO9lRroRa5y69k7G7ophvIfcVdO-PanXpFdD26ieEDVZgUnMOy99Gae
Could tell me please the code for 27.5 X 2.1? Ty
That's an interesting tire size. The closest one to that on the manual is 27 x1-3/8. The tire code for that is 2169. The tire codes are the length of the tire in mm - so you could measure it yourself to get a more accurate code to input. Hope that helps!
Anyone else dreading have to change the time when spring comes? It’s probably the most confusing way of selecting time possible
hello. What is the code for 26x2.1 tires?
Should be 2068. Here is a link to Cateye's manual PDF. The tire size/code chart is the only thing the manual is good for! www.cateye.com/files/manual_dl/5/400/CC-RD100N_ENG_v6.pdf
@@InsideEndurance Thanks for that. I have the instruction leaflet but I put it somewhere really, really safe.
Easy peasie!
Glad to hear it!
My tires are 26x1.95 what code please?
You can find the codes here
It doesnt want set the id...
Will this work with zwift
Unfortunately no. This is kind of a ‘dumb’ bike computer - no Bluetooth or Ant+ to be able to connect to other devices or computers
The cateye sensor is ridiculous. I've followed all the instructions and it still doesn't work. I've even tried putting a new battery and same results.
+George Gilles Did you remove the battery from the computer unit as well? I think I had some trouble with mine once when I tried to get the computer to recognize 2 different sensors. I wanted to just leave a sensor on 2 bikes and the move the computer back and forth - but I couldn't get that setup to work. When I eventually just settled on one sensor I had to completely reset the computer for it to pair.
What a confusing use of video. Which button is mode or menu? Point to one and mention it's name!! That music is so equally useless, to be kind.
Reading the instructions there seems to be no way of changing from KPH to MPH after you have made other changes. The instructions on paper are terrible.
Yes, the paper instructions ARE terrible! Which is exactly why I made this video. Let me look into this KPH-->MPH thing and get back to you. If it's easy enough to type then I will reply again here. If it's a little more involved then I will create another video. Stay tuned!
Thank you for replying. One other thing to note, I have another brand of wireless bike computer that stores the important values like wheel diameter and the odometer reading in non-volatile memory so there's no need to go through the setup after a yearly battery change.

Thank you. This is probably the single biggest piece of junk I've ever bought as far as programing is concerned. This video helps a lot but the mode and menu buttons are far too small for me to work as you have done. Hard to believe a company as big as this would produce such incredibly bad instructions.
Haha sorry it gives you so much trouble! I completely agree about the instructions. They are super small print with way too much info all around. It's also like trying to refold a really bad map if you try to put it away. Anyway, that's exactly why I made this video. Glad you found it helpful!
I agree! For $50 you expect something better. Couldn't program mine after two hours because the buttons were too small. I am returning this piece of garbage.
doesn't go into format mode, so the rest of the video is useless.
By format mode I assume you mean the screen that this video starts with? Have you tried removing the battery and putting it back in? I think that should get you to the same spot where this video picks up.
What a poorly designed piece of crap. Very difficult to set up, The buttons are too small, the instructions that come with this item are nothing but black and white pictures that tell you NOTHING! I hate this. I am returning mine.
what code is for tyre 110 90 19
is 26 inch bycicle rims same as 19 dirt bike?
