The description calls it a computer, it is more of a couple of circut boards and batteries. This is not going to do things like check your email or surf the web. This is designed mainly to keep track of your progress and what you are accomplishing on a bicycle.
This device comes with a ton of attachments to make it easy for you to attach to your bicycle. You will most certainly need to read the directions to make sure you are installing it correctly. Improper installation will not give proper read outs with this device. The first attachment I will mention is the one that hooks to the spoke of the tire. This is a very simple and easy installation. Put it on the spoke and screw it down tight. I personally put a tiny dab of lock tight on the nut to make sure it did not losen up and fall off on me as I am out. Next you install the sensor with a couple of zip ties in the manner described in the instructions. I would say how but I do want to be liable incase I have given improper instructions. So ready your instructions! Next is the mount for the control unit. This gone on a rounded part of the handle bars. You simple place it on the bar and there are 2 slots that you put the zip ties through and mount it to the handle bars. Then you slide the display screen onto the attachment and it locks in place. There are also some stick pads you can place between the plastic parts and the attachments to make sure there will be no vibrating noise as you are riding.
One of the first things you will need to do is install the batteries. This is a very simple process. There are 2 slots that twist off and expose where you install the batteries. Be very careful to make sure and not lose the rubber O-Rings in the batter compartments, these make the device water resistant. Once you twist the caps off place the batteries correctly matching the proper polls. These are flat batteries much like watch batteries or a computer motherboard. Once you have placed the batteries in put the caps back on and twist them into place. Again make sure the rubber O-Ring is in place.
This device is designed to offer your speed, trip meter, odometer, your top speed for the trip, your average speed, how long of a trip, a clock in 12H and 24H formats, and many other great tools for riding. The device has an auto on and off function that I think is pretty cool. It also has a fucntion to turn on a backlight for night riding when the device kicks on it checks the time and will turn it on or off the back lit LED screen. This makes it really handy for those physco's who get up at 4 in the morning to go riding!
If you are looking for a very cool attachment for your bicycle that can track your progress and what you accomplished while out on your bike ride, I really do recommend this device since it will take care of all your needs and then some. I would like to thank Cindy and affiliates for sending me this bicycle computer device to try out and share my opinion.
