 My first and it's goodAug 11, 2007
By Bill

My first bike computer; I like how the design gives you a lot of info on one screen. There is rarely a need to hit the button. The piece that attaches to the spoke of your tire is made of metal with a metal screw so it doesn't slip or shoot off like other ones that I have read about. The only possible issue that I have seen is that the screen sometimes has a slightly dark appearance when I first start riding (and I'm not in direct sunlight at all). But it seems to clear up within a few minutes. Overall very good.

Wow! It's great to have 4 items on the same screen? Controls are real simple - one button! Well constructed - heavy sensor wire.
But, no average speed - aargh. And, it falls asleep at rest stops, and sometimes resets itself when it wakes up. I'm not sure whether this is user error or a defect....

You like this Bike ComputerAug 25, 2010
By OhioHeartland
Shipping was quick. Opened it and waited a day or two for hubby to install it. After following the instructions it would not work correctly. I could get the clock function to work but nothing else.
I remember reading a review post of a guy who had trouble getting his working and returned to his review and he gave a very good and needed tip in order to get the bike computer functioning correctly. Here's his advice:
"Remember to align the Spoke Magnet at the same level of the Wheel Sensor where a glossy mark like (-) at the upper side (not the lower side of the Sensor). Do not get confused. See the picture in the manual."
This advice made all the difference and is very important and is not clear in the instruction manual.
Other than that small frustration once we got it running it's been a fantastic odometer. I LOVE being able to see it's 4 functions at once. It turns itself off if your bike remains idle for too long but saves your information. Just a little movement from your bike and it turns itself back on. Buy this odometer you will not be disappointed. It's very readable and I had no problem seeing it on sunny days or gloomy ones.

Bike SpeedometerFeb 10, 2009
By V. Davis
Size is larger than its predecessor, but it works fine. Was concerned about installation, which can be touchy, but it went well. Has not needed adjusting in several months use. Aggregates until you reset it, so if you want individual ride statistics, you must remember to reset it at the beginning.

great buyJun 12, 2008
By Kimo M.

We went with model instead of the newer version cause we just wanted ride time, distance and odometer. Works perfectly and we love it/them, bought two.
Very pleased how easy it is/was to set up and use right away.
