Amazing............ JUNK!!

On: 2010-04-20

The cost of this item is astronomical considering how poorly it is designed. Just goes to prove how easily "throw away" merchandise floods the American market.

The concept would be great if someone would have spent a few minutes effort in the design and USED THE RIGHT MATERIALS.

Not a real piece of bicycle gear, more like something that may be found on a circus bicycle

Silicone rubber band technology attachment is flimsy. In addition the large size of the display screen helps the unit to rotate around the handlebar (or anywhere else its mounted)!

The silicone casing acts like a magnet attracting all sorts of dust, dirt & debris to it.

Attachment band on computer head and sensor are non-adjustable. So, no real secure mounting achievable. Plus anyone (including children) can un-mount and walk off with it!

Computer display is blurry without any real definition. Programming is difficult due to the fact the wheel diameter has to be measured instead of using industry standard wheel sizes.

This would be rated a minus-5 stars if it were not for the one admirable feature-illuminated backlighting.

Save your money and headaches, buy a REAL bike computer (like a SIGMA or CATEYE)!

Its ok...CatEyes are better

This is an ok computer. It works, it works well. Its got a big screen and is easy to get on and off (which is good for a commuter bike).

However, it goes to sleep and you have to click it before it starts working - my old Cateye would just wake up from sleep. Plus, the fork sensor moves easily, so youll lose your reading from time to time and have to stop and adjust it. Problematically, the screen contrast on this computer makes it almost unreadable when mounted on your stem.

Really, get a Cateye...get this if you have to take the computer off and on a lot.
