 Outstanding Spedo! May 15, 2010

I love this product!
It is completely wireless, so there is no issue with routing a bunch of wires all over the place! The function of the various modes is flawless, and this product is DEFINITELY a bargain!!
This is a GREAT bike computer April 22, 2010

This is the second bike computer that I have owned. The first one was a cateye, which although priced similarly, was not nearly as good.
Setting this up was pretty straightforward, and easy if you've ever installed a bike computer before. It took about 30 min, but that's because I had never used a cadence meter before and I wasn't entirely sure how / where to install it. (In case you are ignorant as I was, the cadence meter measures the rpm of your pedals.)
The display itself is crystal clear, and looks sharp compared to some of the other bike computers that I've seen.
I actually like the fact that this unit is wired, as opposed to some of the new wireless computers, because there is less work involved in replacing the multiple batteries later on.
Some other people on here have criticized the O-rings that hold the sensors in place. I've ridden a few hundred miles since installing this computer, and the sensors have not shifted AT ALL. I'd advise using some electric tape to secure the wires, but really if you follow the instructions I don't think this criticism is valid in the least bit.
The other major criticism that I've seen on here is the fact that the current speed is only shown to .5 mph of accuracy; meaning that if you were moving at say 12.37 mph, the computer would read 12.5 mph. To me this is not a big deal.
Despite the CURRENT speed only reading to .5 mph, the AVERAGE speed is accurate to the hundredths place, meaning it WILL show 12.37 mph.
And here's the beautiful feature that most other bike computers don't have:
While riding, the bike computer is constantly making a comparison between the CURRENT speed, and the AVERAGE speed. If my CURRENT speed is higher than the AVERAGE, there is a tiny arrow pointing up on the display. If the two speed are roughly equal, there is is a tiny square on the display. If the CURRENT speed is less than the AVERAGE, there is a tiny arrow pointing down on the display. It sounds complicated, but in reality its a remarkably simple way to show if you are improving or not.
When I use this computer on rides, I always try to keep that arrow pointing up. I've noticed that by paying attention to it, I have pushed myself much harder than I ever have in the past.
As you might imagine, the back-light is also a *KILLER* feature which really makes this computer worth getting over any non back light model. Half my rides are at night or early in the morning and it would be pretty much impossible to use a bike computer at these times without it. It is implemented in such a way as to save power when not in use, and really looks great in the dark.
Although I've only written about speed, there a lot of other useful functions like cadence, a stop watch, trip distance, and a total odometer among others.
I will say that the first few times I used this computer, it seemed as if there were too many functions and also it seemed too difficult to remember which buttons accessed all of the different information. I've since changed my mind.
The computer and the buttons are actually set up pretty intuitively once you get used to it. You can tell that the people who designed the computer actually used it a lot, and thought of ways to make it simple despite all of the functions.
All in all this is a significant improvement over my last computer (which wasn't that bad to begin with). I'd definitely recommend to anyone shopping around.
So far it is great March 8, 2010

Was easier to install than I had anticipated after reading other reviews. I installed both the speed and cadence sensors in about 30 to 45 minutes. I tested it worked first time no issues! I have taken a few rides and works awesome! I will be taking extra batteries or at least changing them before I do any centuries just to be sure they are fresh because the display does stay on all the time.
It has been a huge help for me. I am very new to the cycling world and this has given me something I can measure outside overall time and distance.
I would buy this again and would recommend it for any beginner cyclist that feels they could handle wrapping wires around a bar. :)
Great product, excellent features! January 24, 2010

I'm very happy with this product. I've been using it for a year now with no problems whatsoever. As other reviewers mentioned, the only drawback is the fact that the instantaneous speed is not reported accurately to the single decimal place, it rounds it off to the nearest 0.5. This isn't a drawback really, but it would be nice to see my speed with a bit more resolution. Other than that, the computer is spectacular.
The amount of features is wonderful, the screen is clearly visible in the daytime and at night (thanks to the lighted screen). The measurements seem pretty accurate in my experience as well (velocity, distance, cadence). All in all, I would strongly recommend this computer to anyone in search of one.
 good while it worked... September 28, 2009

This was great while it worked. Criticisms are:
- wire for the cadence counter kept becoming disconnected.
- The bit where the computer clips onto the mount broke after about 6 months of use, this was not repairable.
