I've had one of these on my mountain bike for over 2 years and 400 miles. It survived the woods of Virginia and Maryland, the streets of Washington, DC and the mountains of Southern California. Just recently the wire broke that goes from the sensor on the forks to the display on the handle bars. The wire came lose and got caught in the tread on the tire is the only reason it broke. It seems pretty accurate. The installation was easy and the placement was easy to see while still unobtrusive on my handle bars.

My first bicycle computer had half of the features this one has and cost me twice the price. This little guy is a great value. Although it doesn't have wireless connectivity, it still has just about all the features you would find in a high-end model.

The magnet on the front wheel which is used to contact the "counter beacon" exhibits varied sensitivity resulting in inaccurate speed and distance readings. For example, my speed often jumped from an accurate 6 mph to 199 mph because the beacon slips and the magnetic signal is poor. The computer also reset the odometer when i took it off of the stage, losing all of my miles. The electrical contacts somehow got dislodged and the computer no longer functions at all. What a waste of money. The following review received 4 helpful votes out of 6 total votes: Review Date: 2006-11-10 "Good, Make sure it is cliped in" This product is a descent one. I bit difficult to install but do-able in 15 min. Completely waterproof. Fell into a puddle because it wasn't clipped in right and came out just fine. Make sure to clip it in and pull on it, to make sure it is secured, or it might fall off. (like mine did). Also it only has 1 trip meater.(-) 4 stars The following review received 4 helpful votes out of 4 total votes: Review Date: 2008-02-06 "perfect add-on gadget" pretty accurate to measure the riding distance. very easy to mount and use. Battery power is long enough that I've been using it for 3 years without problem. 5 stars | |
