I kick away my brand new CatEye only for this item! Actually, I wanted to see all, my speed, time, distance, ride time all in one screen without switching and loosing concentration. Another reason was the 'Temperature' was the major factor. The Temperature is accurate (I checked with my Atomic Clock Thermometer), no issue in there.

It is easy to install and program. I love not having to deal with wires. The display is easy to read and shows lots of data on a single screen (display shows current speed, trip time, trip distance, and a selectable 4th line (temperature and time OR avg speed and max speed OR odometer)). The operation of the display is simple as well (you cycle through the 3 options for the 4th data line by pushing a single button). Things I can't comment on because I've only used it for 2 weeks: battery life, durability (but so far so good). 5 stars The following review received 6 helpful votes out of 16 total votes: Review Date: 2007-09-05 "PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NOT CORRECT" the item description is not what the product is.

The wireless link has worked flawlessly even with the transmitter mounted low on the fork. Since most of the information is on the 4 line display and there's only one button the product is very easy to use. You can calibrate the wheel size(s) to the exact diameter of your tire(s) for accurate speed and distance readings. This unit has a handlebar mount, not a stem mount. People have noted the temperature can be off. I do believe that in direct sunlight the black case heats up a bit and reads higher than the actual air temperature. 5 stars The following review received 4 helpful votes out of 4 total votes: Review Date: 2007-08-14 "Great" I have used this maybe 4 times and 50 miles. It has accurate speed and distance readings. I haven't had any problems with the temperature in direct sunlight like other reviewers. You have to turn it on yourself when you start, but it will automatically come back on after a 15 minute break. The picture on this page is of the non-wireless version. The wireless is black. 5 stars | |
