Review by St.T bikerReviewed 6/29/2014by St.T bikerCycling EnthusiastOntario1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Not much to reviewI have a similar wired one on a 26-er, but that same model doesn't work for 29-ers. Just wondering if these have a 29-er option in them before I buy. The other one I have works great and keeps me motivated to go fast.
BikeTiresDirect.com CommentsYes, this will accommodate 29ers. As a default, and for easy setup, this computer comes ready for 26 inch. This computer features a simpler wheel size selection than previous models. More in depth wheel size selection is accessible on this computer that will allow 29er wheels. Thank you

Review by B''Ham BikerReviewed 12/23/2013by B''Ham BikerCycling EnthusiastBellingham, WA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.For everyday riding, very adequate computer, nothing fancy.My first wireless bike computer. Bought it because I needed one on my Montague folding bike and did not want to mess with a wire being exposed to the folding/traveling/etc. Works great! If you don't need a cadence-counting/heart monitoring computer, then this one is perfectly adequate. BTD's price was right, as always--on sale.

Review by JMofoReviewed 10/24/2013by JMofoCycling EnthusiastSilver City, NM4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Simple and sufficient for my needs. Easy to install and easy to use. Have had a run of bad luck w/other Cyclecomputers. They have failed, or been wildly inaccurate. This one gives me the basics and lets me ride w/o worry and/or frustration. Keep your monitors and GPS, this works for me.

Review by tnuhrReviewed 2/12/2013by tnuhrCasual CyclistFlorida ,New Jersey3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.It is a geeky thin and I like itThe Fork on my Trek Shift 2 seemed a little big but the way the little attachment squeezes onto the fork eliminated the problem. I mounted it in the middle just above the stem and I can see it easily as I ride. At 75 the big numbers help. If someone would tell me how to zero I would appreciate it but I will find out anyway if it is possible. I think my son for getting this. I am just not part of the loop and the kids are great that way.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 10/9/2012by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastConcord, NC3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Great for RecumbentSo far the product has worked well. Recumbent bikes are an interesting configuration - the wireless feature made the installation a snap. The over all look is clean and uncluttered. Display is easy to read and informative. Set-up was simple. I recently moved the sensor closer to the computer to comply with the 70cm distance as specified, when the display was not consistent. Seems to have fixed the problem. Great device.

Review by DonReviewed 10/5/2012by DonCycling EnthusiastNew Albany, Ohio2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Good Value Wireless ComputerIf you do not feel the need for a cadence meter on your bike, this baby will give all that you need at a fair price. The display is slightly larger than some other cateye computers, but not too big........Easy to visually pick-up while in the move.
