I've been using this wireless bike computer for since about the beginning of June. I've found it to be one of the best computers I have used. The initial setup and wireless connection were extremely easy to handle. I love the small size of the computer itself. It makes it very simple to detach and throw in my pocket if I stop somewhere while I'm out riding. Despite its small size, I find the display very readable. The size is also perfect for my road bike, it's large enough to be useful without being overpowering.

Grabbed this one to replace my wired bike computer I had for many years. I left the spoke magnet from my old one on and this new computer worked fine with it. It's a little larger than my older system (probably because of the wireless electronics needed) but it offers plenty of features you will need for informative biking. Setup was easy and it worked perfectly right from the start. Good price too.

For the price this is a good wireless computer, if like me you are only interested in speed, distance, and time it works very well. The directions and the setup buttons leave a little bit to be desired. If you want to change one thing on the read outs you have to reprogram the whole thing. Once you get used to it, its not too bad. So far it has worked well.

The setup instructions is extremely poorly prepared. There are many parts without specific step by step instructions which will take a while to figure out. Once you get past installation, the product is fairly easy to use (after getting use to). The easy detachable feature plus ability to tilt the unit on your handlebar is great.

Instructions and owners manual not very user friendly. Once I figured that out though it worked fine.

I wanted to keep this product because Topeak has AWESOME customer service. But after seeing that it resets after 999.99 miles/km I decided to send it back.

Too bad, they make good bike products.

I have bought two of these speedometer/odometer units within the last month. I think it works very well, but I have had some problems. First, the reason I bought the second unit was that the first receiver/readout device was lost during transport of the bike. I am pretty sure this was because it is so difficult to get this device to lock in place on the mounting device. A second problem is that the battery in the receiver/readout device of the second unit I bought was dead on arrival. This is probably the fault of the vendor instead of the manufacturer, but I had to go out and purchase a replacement battery right off the bat for this unit. Finally, a third problem is that the instructions for initial setup and operation are quite difficult to follow. Make a mistake and you have to start over and go through the whole process. And so far, I have found no way to reset the odometer back to zero (as desirable at the start of the day or the start of a ride) other than to go through the whole lengthy setup procedure. If anyone knows what I may be doing wrong, I would appreciate your help.

Item arrived fairly quickly and arrived as described. Working and used it several times. It is small (given the mini description), so I can't complain about that although I'm wishing I had something larger. It's so small it is somewhat difficult to read some of the display. All in all it is a good little wireless cyclometer and for the price is hard to beat.

The piece looks and mounts awesome. It's tiny, about as big as the top of the neck. It's too bad my total distance keeps resetting itself. The whole purpose of getting this thing is so that I would have a odometer and could tell how many total miles my bike has ridden. So my plan was thwarted. Next, thing goes through batteries every 30 miles. So I'm looking at about an extra $2.10 every other day. I would not buy another one of this model. Too bad cause the thing is so little. I hope you have better luck than I did.

Gifted, but one of the simplest "large screen" type that I saw. Hopefully it does all that he wants it to.
