"Great overall computer. This is my first computer and as a beginner rider I've found having cadence and time at my fingertips to be invaluable to improving my performance mid-ride."casaubon

(4)

Ease of installation

Fairly easy installation. Aligning the magnets on both the crankarm and the spoke was a little tricky, but overall didn't take more than 20 minutes.

(4)

Ease of use

The instructions for initializing and setting up the computer were simple and accurate. After that, the computer runs perfectly.

Value

Tons of data for the money. Great computer if you don't need a heart monitor.

(5)

Performance

Outstanding performance during rides.

Strengths

The wireless signal is strong. The computer is responsive immediately. The clock stops running when the bike stops, but there's no loss of memory. The computer was accurate immediately, without any extra calibrations needed. Great computer.

Weakness

The screen is small and only displays current speed and one other value. With six or seven other values, it can be difficult to switch between, say, cadence and time, seamlessly. It's hardly impossible, but worth noting.

The fit of the chainstay sensor is also a little off. I have wide flat chainstay on a cannondale synapse, so the sensor doesn't sit flush and in between rides it can shift so it doesn't register cadence. I've never lost the connection midride however, so this is a minor annoyance at best.
