Customer Reviews

I purchased the VDO MC1.0+
unfortunately the first unit had a bit of a problem.
The temperature reading was about 35 degrees higher than the actual temperature.
Let me say that Bikesomewhere really rocks they issued me an RMA and within the week I had my new unit. Thanks again for making the online buying experience very pleasant.
The setup was fairly straight forward on the computer. The install guide is all done with pictures so it's easy to follow. I will say that they need to state which is up and which is down on the sending unit that you attach to your fork. The picture stinks and if you place it upside down the computer has a hard time detecting the signal.
The initial setup of the computer is fairly straight forward once you realize there is a 3rd button on the rubber piece that says MC1.0+
My only complaint and it's a minor one is that setting the base elevation took forever. The digits move at only 10ft at a time. My elevation here in Colorado is 6800ft so it took a long time for the computer to get up to that value.
Once I got thru the defective unit, the physical installation and the calibration it was time to take a ride and see how well it all worked.
The trip distance time all worked as any normal bicycle computer. The temperature reading is nice to have.
The altimeter the real selling point on this device is very cool. I took it out on a familiar trail and it is very easy to read. there is a readout of %grade that changes as you climb it also records your steepest climb as well as your average climb grade. This all works great.
The computer also keeps a record of how many feet you have climbed for the trip and over all.
The computer recorded that I climbed 1500 feet for my ride and looking at some of the information I have on the trail this is very close to being the actual elevation gain.
So this product seems to work as advertised. I hope that the initial quality holds up to the test of time. I will try and update this review in a years time so you can see how it's holding up.
Just a quick update on this product. I've had it for about 18 months and it has worked flawlessly. It has been nice seeing my elevation gains and incline grade. I have had to replace the batteries in the unit but other than it has been free from any kind of problems.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for altimeter features in a bike computer.
One nit picky thing is that the elevation that you are at is very large in the display taking up a lot of real estate, they should make that smaller IMHO. Its not all that important to know what your elevation currently is. I'm more intrested in how much I've climbed or what the grade is than knowing that.

I purchased this advanced bike computer because I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and like to know the gradients, temperature, and altitude, features only available on the more expensive models.
It does everything advertised with high accuracy. Note that because it's wireless it can accumulate mileage when not in use, if it comes in proximity of an electronic disturbance, although it's a rare occurrence.
The only minor quibble I have is the shiny area around the display, which glares in the bright sun, and the awkward button positions.
Overall, I think it's the best bike computer of its class available today.
