Great computer

On: 2008-08-08

Protege 5.0 is a eat little computer. Took me like 15 minutes to install, I had plenty of cord from the sensor to the unit, and it works just as described. Nice little size but easy to read. So far its been totally weatherproof too.

I recommend this bike computer for anyone interested.

No problems

You get what you see. Ive had no problem installing, and using this product. If you spend more on the higher end models you get more information, like avg. speed etc. Decide if you really need that.

? as to setup

I am thinking of putting this on a ATV. But nowhere do you tell me if you input the diameter of the wheel for calculating purposes. Thus I do not know if it is able to work for different applications such as this.

great buy

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.

My first and it's good

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 doesnt 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 Im not in direct sunlight at all). But it seems to clear up within a few minutes. Overall very good.

Wow! Its 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. Im not sure whether this is user error or a defect....
