Favorite Trail:
Westerfolds park MTB circuit
Duration Product Used:
2 Years
Price Paid:
$250.00
Purchased At:
online
Strengths:
Reliable, 7 memories, great display
Weaknesses:
sonic data transfer dependent on good mic. averages speed over 10secs, so you can be sitting at the lights and it's still reading 27kph. No graphing, just trip averages. Can't display ODO or max speed without stopping it and looking at totals/files
Similar Products Used:
Cateye Cordless, Union-XT hr cycle computer
Bike Setup:
Giant TCR-C2 Krysium Equip Wheels
Bottom Line:
Good reliable speedo.
Make sure you damp the hr band before wearing it or you'll get wierd readings for the first half hour (stuck on half or double your HR until you stop the bike)
I didn't realise this didn't have graphing until I got it home. Annoying. but it's been a pretty good unit.
When I got it, it was pretty much the first HR/cyclocomputer on the market, so exactly what I had been waiting for.
