Customer Review

PROS:
-Reasonably priced
-Wireless
-Nice, easy to read display

CONS:
-Some interference, but not a huge deal
-Transmitter made poor battery contact, might be just the one I received
-Magnet casing made of plastic, a bit flimsy, and sticks out a lot

Conclusion: Great for the price, but expect to spend a little time making proper adjustments so that it works with your bike setup.


I bought this bike computer to replace a very old, even simpler bike computer that I had made by another company. The larger display makes reading the numbers much easier. One small difference I noticed between my previous wired one and this wireless one is that it takes a little longer for the display to show a change in speed (e.g. I will be climbing a hill and it will read something like 9.7mph and as I start going much, much faster down the hill, it will take a few seconds before it reads 21.3mph.

Like other users, I have received a transient interference that causes my bike computer to register a speed of about 74mph. It really doesn't make much of a difference except for the fact that my "max speed" is not accurate. The fact that this is wireless (and reasonably cheap) means that you have to accept some interference.

One of two problems that I have been having is the transmitter - for some reason it doesn't always make proper contact with the battery, meaning that whenever I go out for a ride, sometimes no signal will be transmitted. So my mileage isn't always accurate and I would have to stop mid-ride to adjust the battery. And yes, I checked the battery. It is fully charged. The problem seems to be in the housing. It isn't a big deal enough to return it but more of a nuisance. The second problem is the magnet - it says it will fit round or flat spokes, but if you attach it to just one it can be a bit flimsy and looks as if a bump would send it flying. I tried attaching it to two spokes, which worked, but the plastic looked flimsy and was already bending. The magnet also stuck out a lot, causing it to scrape the transmitter every time it passed by. I could have avoided this by moving the magnet up, but then I could not attach it to two spokes. I ended up using my old magnet, which has a metal casing and a lower profile, preventing it from scraping the transmitter.

not worth even - C. Hershey - usa
The computer does not calculate distance well at all. It also is very unreliable on speed and time. Would never buy this product again.

good deal - Rodolfo Salas - esparto ca
