Product Description
We took our already excellent Delphi cyclometers and made them even better. The result? Neuro. Still easy to use, and loaded with even more features, like 2.4GHz digital data transmission system that provides reliable, interference-free speed, heart rate and cadence with good battery life. And more serious training features, including user-defined five zone heart rate functions with RealTime memory, a sophisticated yet easy-to-program interval timer, 50 lap chrono, and unique Race Mode.

I am very pleased with the Blackburn Neuro 6.0 computer. It is very accurate, highly versatile, and has many features that make it an ideal training companion.
Pros:
* Very accurate
* Large, easy to read display
* Large buttons, easy to press, even with gloves on.
* Altimeter
* Backlight
* Easy to Install
* Easy to Setup
* Automatically detects which bike I'm on.
* Plenty of extra zip ties for mounting sensor and cadence magnets.
Cons:
* Printed instruction manual is poorly written and laid out.
* The function buttons are not labeled.
Pros:
My main requirement in a computer was for it to have a large, easy to read display that can be read under bright sunlight. In addition, I wanted a backlight to keep track of my stats while biking at night, as well as an altimeter to display my current altitude.
I poured over dozens of reviews of several different computers across several different web sites. I scrutinized the reviews for the Blackburn and carefully considered the negative reviews as well as the positive ones. After much deliberation, I finally decided to purchase this computer.
I can't express how happy I am with my choice!
The Blackburn is very accurate. I went on quite a challenging ride near my home, involving many steep climbs and descents for a distance of over 38 miles. I first mapped this ride using "MapMyRide" to preview the distance I'd be riding, the elevation increases, % grade of these climbs, etc. One segment of this ride involved a steep climb made over a distance of a few miles. MapMyRide showed that this segment of the ride was 3.62 miles long, with a starting elevation of 856 feet and a peak elevation of 1847 feet. The Neuro indicated that the distance I actually rode was 3.66 miles with a peak elevation of 1851 feet. This is exceptional! The .04 mile difference in distance is likely due to the subtle differences in my actual path as compared to the route that MapMyRide calculates.
Since the altimeter readings are based on barometric air pressure, the 4 foot difference in altitude over almost 1000 feet of climbing is different by less than one-half of one percent from what MapMyRide calculated! This difference is easily accounted for by the subtle changes in atmospheric conditions between the start of my ride (when the altimeter was first calibrated) and the top of the hill I crested over half an hour later.
(Note: one must be knowledgeable when using any altimeter based on barometric pressure. Atmospheric pressure changes with atmospheric conditions, including altitude, temperature, and weather conditions. Electronic barometric altimeters work by following a formula that tells it how high it is based on the current air pressure. This is why that it is important for the altimeter to be calibrated to the current altitude at the start of a ride. Unfortunately, nature doesn't always follow a formula, nor is she steady, so it's possible that, based on the atmospheric conditions at the time, the altimeter will display a slightly different altitude than the true altitude. With this knowledge, I am ecstatic that the altimeter displayed nearly the correct altitude after climbing almost one thousand feet.)
Cons:
The printed instruction manual is poorly laid out and written, referring to pages that do not exist. Rather than using the printed instruction manual, go straight to the electronic instruction manual which is on the included CD . The electronic instruction manual is both accurate and comprehensive.
There are three unlabelled buttons: Mode, Start/Stop, and Options. The Mode function cycles between measurements (distance, ride time, cadence, altimeter, etc.) while the Option button cycles between different readings of a particular measurement. For example, after selecting the altimeter display using the Mode button, the Option button can be used to view total feet climbed, current % grade, and current altitude.
Since these buttons are not labeled, I felt early frustration while trying to figure out how to get to a particular measurement (do I press the left button, right button, or middle button?). The buttons certainly are large enough for Blackburn to have labeled them. Despite this, it didn't take me long to memorize the buttons and their functions; Once learned, it was pretty easy to cycle between functions and displays.
Many reviewers on other web sites said that it was difficult to impossible to find a 2nd bike sensor for this computer. Being forewarned, I decided to search eBay to see if I could find one so I could mount it on my mountain bike. I did find one sold by the eBay store: "Ultimate Sports and Nutrition." This second kit comes with the speed/cadence sensor and was purchased for $29.99. Notably absent from this kit is a 2nd handlebar mount, so I had to buy that separately from the same store for $8.99 (It was advertised as the Blackburn Delphi 4, 5, 6 Mount, but it is identical to the mount used by the Neuro computers). So, for $39, I purchased a 2nd bicycle speed/cadence sensor with mounting bracket and installed it on my mountain bike.
After following the instructions, the computer worked as advertised. It automatically detects which bike I'm on and displays the correct data for that bike.
I haven't used the heart-rate monitor, so I cannot offer feedback for it at this time.
In summary, I LOVE THIS COMPUTER! It does everything that I want it to do. The display is nice, the altimeter is great, and the accuracy is exceptional. The thing I like most about this computer: My wife says it looks like a "Transformer" and she chants "More than meets the eye" each time she sees it!
If possible, I would give this product 4.5 out of 5.0 stars.
