Thus far, quite nice
By S. Taylor (LA, California)  |  March 19, 2010
Thus far this little bike computer has been working well. It just took me a little time to learn how to use it. But, it seems to be accurate. I've only had it for a week. So, we'll see how long it lasts.

Excellent Device
By Ajit Rudrangi (MI USA)  |  March 19, 2010
One happy camper here. Just like all previous reviewers, I am really happy with this purchase. Installation was easy, and the instructions were easy to understand! So far, it has been working fine. I have been riding on some rough terrian, and the sensor and magnet have held up well. I also like the large display and backlit features.

Overall, if I had to buy again, this would be my choice!

Great and great reviews
By Donald Crane (New York)  |  March 14, 2010
This seems like a great item and I suggest reading all the reviews for more information on set up. I found the set up for the wheel factor a little difficult. One review says the "Bontrager 700 x 35C tire has an outer diameter of 2197 mm."
I have a 700 x 35B. I measured the radius at 14"--that is including the tire to the ground-- hence a 28" Diameter. 28 X 25.4mm x 3.1416 = 2234. The instruction sheet lists under wheel diameter 28" factor of 2237. Not a difference to concern for but their listing is under the part without the tire. This I do not understand. I have measured a half mile with my vehicle and will check accuracy as soon as it stops raining. If I can feel comfortable that I have this wheel factor correct then this looks like a great item and yes for only $10. Never tried any other bike computers so I cannot compare. Just here and now this looks like a winner. Have had time to check against two measured distances. Seems it is reading .05 of a mile high per mile. I think I have it set at the factor of 2234 so I will change it to 2237 and try again. Probably will not bore you with further up dates unless this does not come out 100% OR CLOSER.

Can't be beat.
By Aaron M. Meisenheimer  |  February 27, 2010
For a whopping $10, this is bar-none, the best computer out there. Heck, it even has temp, and backlighting you can see.

Best of all, it actually works, and works well.

Only thing I would do, is make one in black. Schwinn would then put alot of the other lower end computer companies out of business.

Great Bike Computer
By WP Hamilton  |  February 27, 2010
Don't be put off by the price. It's accurate, reliable and durable. I've had two of the 12-function Schwinn computers for around a year, needed another and this one was a few dollars cheaper ($10). It's almost the same except that the 17-function has temperature, and a couple of other features you probably won't use. They all still work.

As with any of these, the key is to set the tire size correctly and learn how to work the buttons. I simply use the left one to toggle the trip time and distance displays, and to reset the trip, and seldom need to fidget with anything else.
