Summary: POS The instalation was easy. When I used my headlight on flashing mode it interfered with the wireless signal (the computer thought that I was going about 75 mph). The instructions were poor and there's no web support that I could find. After a short time it stopped working altogether. Again, there seems to be no product support or warranty on this piece of junk.
Strengths: easy instalation
Weaknesses: interferes with headlight
no product support
doesn't work

Summary: I bougth the computer for my new mountain bike. Install on the Fox fork with the straps was not difficult but as soon as I set the computer; 2091, the hour and so, turn the wheel and surprise: few revolutions and read 75 mph. What? move the transmiter back and forth, 1or 2 mm gap, start all over. I can't have the correct reading. I'm frustating! Don't buy.
Strengths: Price, Display
Weaknesses: Piece of yunk!!!!

Summary: This is a great recreation computer. It was easy enough to install on my bike. the 4 line display is large enough to read without taking your eyes off the road too long. However, the instructions wee useless. I don't like that the receiver and sending unit have to be within 2 feet of each other to work. The 1-2 mm gap was a little close for comfort. I also wish it had a backlight feature.
Strengths: large display, price, safe for traffic
Weaknesses: no back light, worthless instructions, limited to front wheel use

Summary: Not bad for the price, The distance from the magnet to the computer is only 2mm and it is hard to get that on my bike, so there were problems there. Installing is hard, the instructions are worless, but easy to figure out on your own. Not too bad though, Ill use it more to see if it get better.
Strengths: large display, Price, wireless
Weaknesses: installation, magnet to transmitter distance
