Product Description

Editorial Review
The folks at Schwinn obviously know a thing or two about bike accessories and this 12-function instrument should come in handy for anyone looking to use their biking time for something other than a pleasant pedal around the neighborhood. Attach it to your bike or hold it on the attached cord and get information on your speed, average speed, maximum speed, trip distance, odometer readings, total distance, ride time, and more. Bearing in mind that it's hard to push a lot of buttons while biking, the device features a single button control panel, allowing you to get the right information while still staying upright on the bike. --Charlie Williams

Customer Reviews

I own two of these--one of which I installed on an old exercise bicycle and the other I installed on a street bike. It operates based on a magnet mounted to a spoke and a pickup sensor on the fork. Very easy to install and mounts using four zip ties--two for the sensor and two for the computer, itself. Functions include: (1) Speedometer--configurable as MPH or KM/hr, (2) Tripmeter / Distance, (3) Odometer, (4) Trip timer, (5) Maximum speed, (6) Digital clock--configurable as 12 or 24 hour, (7) Average speed, (8) Scan, (9) Freeze frame memory, (10) Speed comparator, (11) Speed Tendency--indicates acceleration or deceleration, and (12) Odometer reset. Overall size of computer is approximately 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" x 3/4" (not including mounting bracket). Display size is approximately 1-1/16" x 7/8".
Wheel size must be entered when the unit is first power on. This is the circumference of the wheel in millimeters. A conversion table is provided in the instructions; however, it can also be calculated as:
Diameter in inches times 25.4 = Diameter in millimeters
Diameter in millimeters times 3.1416 (Pi) = Circumference in millimeters
Example:
22" x 25.4 = 559mm
559mm x 3.1416 = 1756mm
I really like the scan feature, which cycles the display through distance, maximum speed, average speed, and trip timer. Even in "scan mode" speed is always displayed. I found the instructions unclear in explaining how to place the unit into scan mode; however, I learned through trial ; error that you press the right button multiple times until you see "SCAN" displayed below the little man on the bicycle. Then press ; hold the right button for a few seconds and it should start to cycle through the displays properly.
Speed comparator shows a "+" if you're traveling faster than your average speed or "-" if you're traveling slower than your average speed.
Finally, another feature that I really like is the fact that the unit powers itself off after five minutes of inactivity to save the battery. The unit can also be removed from the mount on the handlebars for storage when not in use.
05/07/2011 Update: This bicycle computer uses an LR43 button cell. They don't seem to be common in department stores, as I could not find one locally. I'm most likely going to have to order one through Amazon.

I picked one of these up and thought it was too cheap to be decent, but it actually ended up doing everything I would need. Install was very easy, operation is easy, and it's cheap! If you don't need cadence this is a great cycle computer.
