This is an ok computer. It works, it works well. Its got a big screen and is easy to get on and off (which is good for a commuter bike).

However, it goes to sleep and you have to click it before it starts working - my old Cateye would just 'wake up' from sleep. Plus, the fork sensor moves easily, so you'll lose your reading from time to time and have to stop and adjust it. Problematically, the screen contrast on this computer makes it almost unreadable when mounted on your stem.

Really, get a Cateye...get this if you have to take the computer off and on a lot.

i asked around my cyclists friends and mechanics and no one had tried one, so i took one for the team and ordered it.
i opted for white, i thought it would be less visible as i ride a classic bike and wanted a computer but nothing that was real flashy.
it was fairly easy to set up and from the moment i took off on my first ride it worked effortlessly, no problems, A LOT more than i can say for others. my boyfriend has an expensive Mavic and it sucks!!
i really like the fact that i can easily take it on and off if i want to put it on another bike.
thanks
and as far as price i think it is much more aesthetically pleasing than anything out there and for that reason alone i'd pay 3 times what i did.

Easy set up and use. Tough little computer that has served me well already. The instructions could be a little clearer but again, it was still easy to set up.

Amazing product, stilish, easy to use, high quality. Easy to install and dismantle. Many different colour options.No wireless interruption.Recommended.

The Knog Nerd cyclometer is awesome!!! It is so versatile. It travels from one of three mountain bikes with ease. They are available in a wide variety of color schemes. They are also very durable. I love mine and my husband loves his new one!

I received a Knog Nerd as a Christmas gift and am really impressed with its form and functionality thus far. Initially, it strikes you as a novelty, feeling a bit like a toy, but once you go through the manual's set up and fit it to your bike(s), it all begins to make perfect sense! The display is quite easy to read, with multiple screens, or a 'scan' screen to cycle through all the various read outs and it can easily be mounted two different ways depending on your bars/stem setup which is very handy if you're already crowding or have a personal preference. It takes a bit of getting used to, but after two decent rides with this I think I've pretty much got it down. There are only 2 'buttons' and they're used differently, using press-and-hold times for certain resets and preference changes. As for people having issues mounting the sensor to the frame, there are at least two snaps to fit to on the band, and if you have an extremely thin fork, I'm sure you could stretch and double-over the band if need be. My only complaint was that I received the unit with a dead sensor battery, but you can find the LR44's in multi-packs on Amazon shipped for under $4.

The computer is easy to install and use. I've bought four for my family members and we all enjoy using this tool. The design is also stylish and clean.

I used this computer for the first time today and it worked great. I liked the ease of installation too. This is my first bike computer and for my purposes, general riding/training, I get more than enough information from this little baby. I would definitely recommend it to others. I have an Italian racing bike purchased in the 1980's and I had no problem with it fitting on my tubing.

The cost of this item is astronomical considering how poorly it is designed. Just goes to prove how easily "throw away" merchandise floods the American market.

The concept would be great if someone would have spent a few minutes effort in the design and USED THE RIGHT MATERIALS.

Not a real piece of bicycle gear, more like something that may be found on a circus bicycle

Silicone rubber band technology attachment is flimsy. In addition the large size of the display screen helps the unit to rotate around the handlebar (or anywhere else it's mounted)!

The silicone casing acts like a magnet attracting all sorts of dust, dirt & debris to it.

Attachment band on computer head and sensor are non-adjustable. So, no real secure mounting achievable. Plus anyone (including children) can un-mount and walk off with it!

Computer display is blurry without any real definition. Programming is difficult due to the fact the wheel diameter has to be measured instead of using industry standard wheel sizes.

This would be rated a minus-5 stars if it were not for the one admirable feature-illuminated backlighting.

Save your money and headaches, buy a REAL bike computer (like a SIGMA or CATEYE)!
