 Bad Batch? April 15, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this product and this first time I used it worked great, but the second time it was only on for five minutes and the screen got all screwy. So I figured maybe there was just a start up battery in there. But changing the battery didn't help either. I was rather disappointed. I was so excited to be able to keep track of speed and distance but the product doesn't even work correctly. I may have just got a bad machine, who knows.
 Well built device definitely worth more than you pay for March 21, 2008

All the features you want and then some. It is well designed with many great functions. Its main purpose is a speedometer with an odometer, trip meter, max speed indicator, average speed indicator, trip timer which measures how much time you've been riding, temperature indicator, counts calories, and fat burned. The speedometer function is very accurate. I compared my vehicle gps nav to the cyclometer and both readings are the same, however it is only as accurate as the wheel size you input, as other reviewers complained of readings too fast or slow and that is because of the wheel size that is input as the preset wheel size is for a 26.6" wheel, and an actual wheel that is not that size will obviously show innacurate readings. Anything smaller will show faster readings, anything bigger will do the opposite. Don't throw away the instructions as scrolling through the functions takes a while to get used to. Also they have the wheel size "codes" since the wheel size input is a 4 digit number and will be needed everytime you reset the cyclometer or replace the battery. You can even RESET all the functions seperately, just hold the left button for a few seconds over the selected function and thats it. The installation was easy after reading the instructions.
The price is cheap, the product is not. It is worth way more than $9.99 for the functions and quality. I previously bought a similar schwinn 12 function cyclometer from walmart and it had solid features for the same price and this unit has added features for the same price. I gave the old unit to my wife and installed this product on my bike, I didnt even have to reinstall the wiring on my bike since the detachable computer is compatible with both sensors and docking stations. One of the functions on this cyclometer is a "maintenance program" but isn't explained how it works or what it does in the manual other than its existance. The unit also has a backlight which is also unexplained in the manual, to operate the light you have to press the left button. The light is good and makes the unit very visable at night. The only issue with the light is that when pressed, the speedometer speed is "frozen" the whole time the light is on. Your current speed wont update until the light is off, I found that to be irritating since you have to press the light many times to check your speed if your speed varies. A very handy feature is that the unit is detachable, which is good if you store your bike outside since it might rain and ruin the computer. Also if you run the wiring up the front brake cable, the entire setup will blend in and be hard to notice. This product is a definite buy, even if it was worth $50, it would still be worth it. At $9.99 its value is unbeatable.
very good March 3, 2008

I purchased this gadget a month ago. I foud out that the installation was pretty easy to complete. This small gadget works very fine. I'm satisfied very much.
Are you kidding ... Buy it! March 1, 2008
Are you kidding. For $10 this cyclometer is more than worth it. It provides distance, speed, time, clock, odometer, avg speed, and even temperature. I have a $60 Trek on my road bike and this unit easily compares in accuracy. Don't spend the extra money ... get the $10 Schwinn.
Best Bike Computer For The Price February 19, 2008
I just starting using this computer and it works great! You just have to make sure that the distance between the magnet on the spoke and the receiver are within the 1mm distance specified. If it is too close or too far away the computer won't read anything at all. This computer is extremely handy for training. Not very good if you intend to use it on bumpy trails and requires a little adjustment after going over a curb or a bump (otherwise would have given it 5 stars). However, it works perfectly for street riding.
