Strengths: Not sure.Weaknesses: Mounting is totally inadequate for MTB. Short duration of backlighting feature makes it of minimal value for night riding.Bottom Line: Computer falls out of mounting bracket at the least sign of vibration/bump/upset. Probably OK for road bike, forget it for MTB. If you buy this for your MTB, get use to searching for it on the trail!

Strengths: Display is easy to read and the altimeter appears to be accurate. Installation took only a few minutes.Weaknesses: The manual is too small, hard to read and almost useless. I am still trying to understand how to set all of the functions. If the manufacture wants to save paper they should make the manual available on their web site.Bottom Line: A little pricey but if you ride in the hills the altimeter is a great feature.

Strengths: It does everything it's supposed to doWeaknesses: Will not work with my Light & Motion light. Odometer is cumulative and combines 1st and 2nd wheel...not really useful if you are using this for two bikes.Bottom Line: I paid too much for a computer that only works when my lights are off and doesn't separate the odometer between two bikes. This is a GREAT computer if you have one bike (or don't care about the odometer readings) and use lighting that does not interfere with your computer. The only time my light does not interfere is when I use the helmet mount. I'm giving it 3 chilis b/c I'm a spoiled SoCal girl and didn't get what I want!

Strengths: Instead read the products weaknesses!!Weaknesses: NONE... excepted maybe the price tag.
WHY: because I simply haven't had absolutely no problem with it, and MOST of all, it is very fast updating the speed measuremente on the screen wich is an essential feature for any wireless computer - I have used other wirelesse computers where the speed at the end of a fast section was the speed coming out of the last turn!!
The barimeter altimeter is sensitive to weather conditions, yet if you calibrate the altitude at that particular day it will provide usefull information without compromise.Bottom Line: Excellent

Strengths: Two wheel size capability, altimeter, clear display, easy to useWeaknesses: Picks up electronic noise from neon signs, subway train motors, etc. and interprets this as mileage! Customer support is ABSOLUTELY unresponsive.Bottom Line: If you get this unit, keep a close eye on it when in front of bars and cafés, and while on subway trains.

Strengths: Well built, easy to read in sunlight, accurate.Weaknesses: Manual is a terrible waste of paper, poorly written, almost needed a microscope to read.Bottom Line: If you like to measure altitude gained,and how high you are, this is the one. Only difference between this and less expensive unit is altimeter.
