Strengths: It's cheap and it does what it is supposed to do. The display is clear and easy to read.Weaknesses: The device is physically miserable. It is extremely frail, and breaking just the tiniest, cheapest part will render it junk. Don't touch this thing if you ride on anything worse than smooth asphalt and appreciate durability.Bottom Line: A cheap but extremely poorly designed contraption. The cyclocomputer does what it promises; but only after opening the box and looking at what's in it the buyer is revealed what he's actually bought. The computer tray is of frail plastic and will probably not last through a summer. It attaches into the handlebar with, believe or not, a *rubber band*. There is no way to install it with screws on a suitable metal brace or with any other sensible and lasting method. The fork end reader is also attached to the fork with a rubber band; the spoke magnet is held in place by friction. The maximum clearance between the magnet and the rader is 5 millimeters, which is way too little for eg. the average mountain bike such as mine, necessitating installation of the two very close to the hub of the front wheel, which directly yields unreliable readings.
