Steve Date Reviewed: May 5, 2012 Strengths: Easy to use. Large display...I can see my speed and the clock with ease. Weaknesses: The only weakness that I can see is that there is no way to turn the unit off. After I disengage the unit from the holder, I put it in my pocket so I can log my readings. I have taken it out of my pocket only to find that the route is longer than it originally was, etc. I have noticed that if the unit is near a cell phone or a wireless laptop, it gets the signals and registers them. I thought that when the unit was pulled out of the holder, it stopped registering. Bottom Line:

from Vianen Netherlands Date Reviewed: July 5, 2010 Strengths: Dit is tot nu het slechtste en meest onbetrouwbare fiets computer die ik heb gehad. geeft niet de juiste snelheid en na 200 km springt hij spontaan weer op nul, waardeloos. Ben je een fits fanaat en maak je veel kilometers in je vakantie dan wil je bij kunnen houden hoeveel je bijvoorbeeld in je vakantie fietst, nu dat is met deze fiets computer niet mogelijk Weaknesses: gaat na 200 km weer op nul, telt dus niet door Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: Bike shop Similar Products Used: sigma Bike Setup: geen, om dat ik deze in Duitsland heb gekocht en ik zelf woon in Nederland.

from Colorado Springs, CO, USA Date Reviewed: April 4, 2010 Strengths: On the surface, it had the basic features I was looking for (speed measurements, tripometer, odometer). Weaknesses: After 2 days of using it, it stopped working. The display was just fine -- I was able to toggle through the various screens, but it just stopped measuring anything after the 2nd day. The sensor was in the exact same place when it was working vs. when it stopped working. I am going to take it back to my local bike shop and get my money back.

from Gulf Shores, AL - USA Date Reviewed: March 5, 2010 Strengths: Easy to use and see. Weaknesses: Doesn't send siginal far enough, I had to mount it within 24" of the sender unit on the wheel. My recumbent handle bars are 42" from the sender. Unit has to be started every time you start to go, would be much better if it just started when the wheel started turning. I would prefer to give up battery life to have the self start convenience. Also after stopping, the odometer keeps gaining "trip" distance for another .15 miles. What's that all about? Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Gulf Shores State Park Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: "The Bike Shop" in F Bike Setup: Long wheel base Sun X2-CX recumbent. Unit installed per directions. Works O.K.

from newport, ri Date Reviewed: July 14, 2009 Strengths: Does what it is supposed to. Weaknesses: 1. Auto sleep mode is a pain. Turns off after 7 minutes of inactivity and doesn't start until you hit a button. Have to remember this everytime you take a break, or your distance comes out short. 2. Can't program what you want to display together. Have to switch between ave speed and distance (displays ave-spd/max-spd or dist/time... cant change that) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $40.00 Similar Products Used: Various older Specialized Sport wired units.

from Valparaiso, IN Date Reviewed: November 9, 2008 Strengths: It has a big screen with easy to read numbers. The spacer stack mounting system is very clever and it allows one to mount a light battery underneath the computer. Comes in three colors, Black, White and Red. Weaknesses: It came with dead battery. The button action is poor. They often need to be pressed repeatedly. I've been told it has a tendency of coming out of the mount. It also seems to exhaust it's batteries rapidly. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Outback Trail Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: Jano Cyclery Similar Products Used: Cateye Micro-Wireless ... Bike Setup: I have this on my Surly Cross-Check which for me is just a big guy's road bike.

from Saint Paul, MN, USA Date Reviewed: July 12, 2008 Strengths: Ease of set up, atachment options, MPH read out large easy to read, solid feel to buttons. 20 minutes from opening the box to install and running Weaknesses: Main unit simply slides into mounting bracket, it is not a snug fit. Main unit does not snap or click into place so it can slide out unexpectedly. Need to make fast to the mount before riding, I use right sized O rings from local hardware store. Some lag, can be stopped and there is still a speed readout. Have to 'wake' the unit up by clicking a button. 1st wireless setup - had no idea sending unit would be so 'big' Had to deviate from mounting instructions to get it to fit Manitou fork Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Crosby Farm Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $43.00 Purchased At: Bicycle Chain, Rosev Similar Products Used: Assorted Trek and Cateye computers Bike Setup: Mounted to stem on 2006 Giant Anthem 2
