Bike Computer Sensor For Lucero ot Bladed Forks

Triathlon Forum

Any Lucero or other bike owners with very thin bladed forks have suggestions for a bike compuer sensor? I have a Cateye Cordless 7 and it is hard to keep the sensor aligned and beacuse I can’t get the roundish sensor to mount well on the bladed fork. Should I just try a different computer with a rear mount sensor?

Thanks,

I gave up on the cateye cordless for the same reason. Switched to the astrale 8 rear mount.

I had a Cylosport on the bike (which I returned because of the seatpost slipping…how’s your hold?), which attached to the fork via elastic bands, which held well.

What about that new one from Mavic that serves as a skewer as well? Has anyone out there tried it?

I have had great luck with my Sigma Sports BC1200. The magnet fits on the round part of the bladed spokes on my Kysrium SL’s and the large rubber o-ring can easily stretched around my Ouzo Pro Aero fork blades. Not sure how big the chord is on the Lucero’s forks but can’t imagine it is much bigger than the Reynolds fork’s.

New pick up for the Cateye Cordless 10 seems tailor made for bladed aero forks. Mine works very well.

If you’re referring to the Mavic Wintech, I use it. It works well - haven’t had any transmission problems. But it’s not without other problems. The computer unit is supposed to mount on your stem and the computer mount is angled to work for people who mount their stem 90 degrees or lower. If your stem is angled up like mine is, the display angle may make it difficult to see in aero position. I’ve attached it to the right arm of my aerobars so I can see the display without having to sit up. Also, the transmitter on the skewer is plastic and feels a bit cheap. I’ve only had it for a couple of months so I can’t comment on the reliability. Despite the minor problems, I’m pretty happy with it. Incorporating the transmitter into the skewer is a very elegant solution and I’m surprised other computer manufacturers haven’t done it sooner.

Tom,

Where can I find the Cordless 10? The closest thing I found on Cateye’s website was the Micro 10 and sensor in their owners manual looks the same as the Cordless 7 that doesn’t work that well. Can you intermix sensors or computers, or do they only come as a match set?

any will work. just use the rubber stuff provided with any bike computer. put it on both edges of the blade to maintain the captor in place.
