Summary: Great - BUT
Comment: This is a great computer. I especially like having the current time displayed with all the rest of the data. However, the temperature is worthless. Any sunlight at all and the temp reads way too high. Why bother??

Summary: Great Little Bike Computer
Comment: This bike computer gives you all the needed info and more. The screen is big and is easy to read. To accurately calculate the distance traveled, you can enter the tire size (26"), OR for a more accurate reading, you can meassure the distance of a complete tire rotation and enter the lenght in Millimeters (mm) in the computer (f.i. 2189 mm). It is able to memorize and switch between 2 Tire sizes (f.i. Nobby tire, Road tire). The computer is also very user friendly to navigate. When pushing it, the bottom line on the diplay switches and cycles from "Temperature & Clock", to "Odometer", to "Max Spd", to "Avg Spd". The computer snaps off and on easily and is all wheather resistant.
Installation time is pretty short, especially if you have owned one before. Instructions are good (and written in english).

Summary: AWSOME COMPUTER
Comment: IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED ONE COMPUTER THIS ONE WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT. QUICK INSTALL. EASY TO SET UP COMPUTER AFTER YOU INSTALL THE BATTERY. GOOD DIRECTIONS IF YOU DON'T GET THE CONCEPT. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK EXCELLENT INCLUDING TEMP. LOVE IT. I LIKE TO KNOW ALL THIS INFORMATION WHEN PLANNING MY RIDES/COMMUTES SO I CAN KNOW WHAT I'M IN FOR WHEN CHECKING THE WEATHER THE NIGHT BEFORE. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE ALL INFORMATION ON ONE SCREEN & NOT HAVING TO LOOK FOR BUTTONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIDE MAKES IT EASY TO READ AND MUCH SAFER THAN FIDDLING FOR BUTTONS.
WHEN INSTALLING ANY WIRING ON A BIKE PROJECT, MAKE SURE TO HAVE DIFFERENT SIZE ZIP TIES. THEY COME IN HANDY, MAKE FOR A CLEAN LOOK WITHOUT THE EXTRA SLACK HANGING AROUND THAT COULD POSSIBLY SNAG ON SOMETHING AND DESTROY YOUR INVESTMENT. I THINK WIRED SYSTEMS WORK BETTER THAN WIRELESS. THEY SHOULD HAVE DIFFERENT COLOR OPTIONS AVAILABLE AND A BACKLIGHT. THAT WOULD DEF MAKE IT A 5 STAR COMPUTER.

Summary: Planet Bike Computer
Comment: Great cyclometer. This is my second one (only because I lost the first one). Works great. Provides a lot of information. Only gripes are that the temperature sensor gets affected by direct sun, so it's not very accurate on a sunny day and setting is not real easy because you have to press buttons on the back while looking at the front. But these are both pretty minor issues for an overall good, especially for the price, computer.

Summary: Greg in Atlanta
Comment: Extremely good speedometer. Easy to read and seems to be accurate. Some say the thermometer is not accurate. Duh. If your are in direct sunlight it won't be. The only things I don't like are: 1) it seems to reset the trip odometer if you stop for fifteen to twenty minutes (ex: long stop on a century ride). Not sure why. 2) it sometimes jiggles loose from the mounting. I dropped it once while going over rough pavement. Fortunately I turned around, picked it up and shoved it back on the mount and it worked fine. 3) can't figure out how to mount it to my handlebar stem instead of the bar. Other manufacturers give the option to mount the speedometer out of the way on the stem.
Would I buy it again or recommend it to a friend. Yes!

Four lines on the Macromonitor LCD display provide up to 5 pieces of data at once. Heavy-duty oversized wire harness. Ultrasonically welded to be completely weatherproof. Temperature gauge for maximum effort judging.
