Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - AWSOME COMPUTER
IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED ONE COMPUTER THIS ONE WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT. QUICK INSTALL. EASY TO SET UP COMPUTER AFTER YOU INSTALL THE BATTERY. GOOD DIRECTIONS IF YOU DON'T GET THE CONCEPT. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK EXCELLENT INCLUDING TEMP. LOVE IT. I LIKE TO KNOW ALL THIS INFORMATION WHEN PLANNING MY RIDES/COMMUTES SO I CAN KNOW WHAT I'M IN FOR WHEN CHECKING THE WEATHER THE NIGHT BEFORE. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE ALL INFORMATION ON ONE SCREEN & NOT HAVING TO LOOK FOR BUTTONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIDE MAKES IT EASY ... Read More

Great cyclometer. This is my second one (only because I lost the first one). Works great. Provides a lot of information. Only gripes are that the temperature sensor gets affected by direct sun, so it's not very accurate on a sunny day and setting is not real easy because you have to press buttons on the back while looking at the front. But these are both pretty minor issues for an overall good, especially for the price, computer.

Extremely good speedometer. Easy to read and seems to be accurate. Some say the thermometer is not accurate. Duh. If your are in direct sunlight it won't be. The only things I don't like are: 1) it seems to reset the trip odometer if you stop for fifteen to twenty minutes (ex: long stop on a century ride). Not sure why. 2) it sometimes jiggles loose from the mounting. I dropped it once while going over rough pavement. Fortunately I turned around, picked it up and shoved it back on the mount ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good product at a good price
Bike computer was easy to install and calibrate. It works well and displays all the information I need including the temperature. The only mishap I can report was after taking a bad bump the computer jumped out of position and I lost the ride information. Otherwise I am very pleased with this product.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Planet Bike Protege 9.0 Bike Computer
Brought this as my first bike computer because of the excellent reviews on Amazon.Tried for 2 hours to program computer without success. Attempted to call Planet Bike for tech support, but no option for tech support was offered with call. They did have email support, but I felt I needed live tech support to walk me through the programming process. Will return and probably try another brand.
