from San Francisco, Ca Date Reviewed: August 5, 2004 Strengths: This review is for Axiom A10W. As others have mentioned, the wireless connection is weak. During a race, the spedometer stopped working entirely, but the odometer continued to clock the miles. Weaknesses: As was stated by other users, it's necessary to tip your computer away and toward the wheel in order to ensure connectivity. Of course, it's difficult to read, but it will save you time and money if your alternative is to buy a different computer instead. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year

from Phillipsburg, NJ Date Reviewed: September 16, 2003 Strengths: Easy setup Weaknesses: Only works "most" of the time. For example, I traveling at 15 mph and it reads 15MPH for about 70% of the time, then reads 0mph, then 35mph. If I travel 20 miles on a measured course, it was only registering about 16-17 miles since it read 0mph for a while. I played with the wheel sensor ensuring it was 1-3mm from the magnet but that didn't seem to help. It was VERY sensitive to the angle on the handlebar. If I tilted the display toward me (when I am seated on the bike), it would not register any readings. I needed to tilt it forward for the readings to register (and even then it didn't always register).

from Seattle Date Reviewed: August 17, 2002 Strengths: simple design, works, does not slide or move around. Weaknesses: None yet, accept maybe the distance needed for the computer. I have mine set at around 1'-10" with an Avid brake arm residing in transmitter site line and it still works perfect. I initially maxed out the distance to 2'-0" per instructions but at that distance (with the brake arm in the way), it was too far for the computer to register.

from boston, ma Date Reviewed: May 15, 2002 Strengths: easy to use, nice features, auto start is nice too. Weaknesses: This unit has some problems with interference in city riding, like commuting. Often times it misreports max speed (Like it said I was doing 225 mph the other day!) so this knocks off average speed, total mileages etc. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: Performancebike.com Bike Setup: trek 8900

from jensen beach, florida Date Reviewed: February 8, 2002 Strengths: Excellent display, quality buttons that are simple to operate, EZ to setup. Battery life over 2 years. Unit holds up to florida envir. (Rain, Voter fraud, Jeb Bush) Weaknesses: The sensor button on the spokes is of marginal material and design... seems like it came from Japan in the late '40s. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $44.00 Purchased At: HERE~ Similar Products Used: Shimano Flight Deck... a wired computer that tries to do too much and is much too complicated... I prefer my Axiom. Bike Setup: Piece of cake... Just be careful to not overtighten any joints... Its plastic not platinium.

from Half Moon Bay, CA Date Reviewed: October 14, 2001 Strengths: Hands down the best feature is the auto-wake sleep mode. I don't have to remember to reactivate the unit - it automatically wakes up when the bike moves even after the unit goes into "power save" mode, just the the wired units. Weaknesses: Minimum affective measurable speed: 1.5 MPH. Smallest speed increment .5 MPH. Don't know if this is better or worse than others.

from Eureka Date Reviewed: October 12, 2001 Strengths: Good features and a great price for a wireless computer (if it would only work). Weaknesses: The transmitter doesn't work as advertised (claims to work up to 24 inches away). I can only get the computer to work if I hold it right up to the transmitter. I tried swapping out the battery but that did not help. I can only assume that the transmitter is defective. This really sucks with a mail order product. I am sending it back and going with a reputable brand name.
