Nifty And Great For The Price

Super easy to install just follow the directions. I’m very happy with this odometer, for the price it is everything you could ask for. It takes about five minutes to set it up and it attaches well to your bike. I found the distance to be fairly accurate when compared to my phone apps. I would say if you have a bigger bike it’s a little tricky to get the sensor within 3mm of the magnet. I have a specialized rockhopper size medium with 29ers and had to wiggle it to make sure they come into…

Pros
  • Mountain bike
Cons
  • wireless reader too large

The SY bicycle speedometer and odometer looked good at the start. I was able to install it despite poor instructions. (Steps out of order, poorly described and no ability to see what the screens are supposed to look like.) I couldn't set the time on the unit but tried it on my bike and except for no time capability, it worked. Tried multiple times to reprogram it but it kept skipping the time setup screen. I e-mailed the vendor 3 times: responses were 1. follow instructions, 2. no-audio video…

Pros
  • A little tricky to set up, but it works good.
Cons
  • directions were terrible, no phone number to call for help

Nice bike computer for the money

This computer works well and has more features than I will ever use. It is a bit complicated to set up. I had to move the magnet and sensor a couple of times to get it close it enough to work. It also had no settings for a 27.5 inch bike. I had to manually figure out the circumference and convert it to metric to program the computer. Once I had it programmed, it was pretty accurate. I road the bike 7 miles and the odometer read 6.9. That’s close enough for me. I would have given it 5 stars had…

Cons

Excellent Value good for me

Very good value for a wireless Bike speedometer. Worked great. I like the wireless speedometer which gets rid of all the wires from the handlebars to the front fork.

Pros
  • Never lose track of your distance or speed during long rides thanks to the long-lasting battery life
Cons
  • The device is not equipped with GPS connectivity

Worked great for 7 months until exposed to water.

Bought the speedometer for a minibike back in June. It worked great up until January where it got exposed to water while cleaning it.

Pros
  • Make sure you're always on time for your next appointment or meeting with the handy clock function
Cons
  • The device may not capture data accurately for off-road rides

Works well I like the auto on and off

Though somewhat easy to install the instructions were somewhat vague in like how to install the sensor on the fork and does not tell you that sensor also requires a battery (included)

Pros
  • Get real-time updates on your cycling speed and distance without interrupting your flow
Cons
  • The device may produce inaccurate data in high winds or heavy rain

Doesn't work near bluetooth speaker

Overall this cycle computer performs well and for the price it's a good value. There are just a few things that I would improve upon but I tend to be a little picky.1) Mounting of both computer and wheel sensor is done using small wire ties. It would be great if there was some kind of a bracket with a screw that could be used to tighten it instead. I don't feel that I can really get it tight enough with the wire ties.2) The Average speed value is unpredictable. If I'm moving along at a constant

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoor Recreation Accessories
Cons
  • The device may malfunction if exposed to strong electromagnetic fields

Totally unreliable. I wouldn't buy this again.

Update: After messing with this thing for several weeks I find it to be completely unreliable. It'll read great one day and the next day it will vary between showing zero MPH and 15 MPH. I don't know if the cell phone that I carry interferes with the wireless signal or what but this thing does not work well at all. What I wrote below was how I felt in the middle of my trials.The physical installation is not difficult - tie wraps and such. No big deal. What is difficult is working out the…

Pros
  • ‎Bicycle Speedometer and Odometer Wireless Waterproof Cycle Bike Computer with LCD Display & Multi-Functions by YS
Cons
  • The device may not work with some wheel sizes

Functional for my opinion

This device is functional, but a little convoluted to install and configure.There are quite a few components including those that go on wheel spokes, the front fork and handlebars. It measures wheel rotations to calculate distance and speed so you need to determine your tire circumference--I measured mine directly using a technique supplied in the instructions.The fork/spoke components have to be super close (to insure accuracy) which seems kind of hairy since the the spoke component is…

Pros
  • The LCD display is easy on the eyes and provides all the necessary information without ever becoming overwhelming
Cons
  • The device may shut down unexpectedly

Not for every bike best in my review

I have a hybrid, Kent Nazz 700 and the fork to spoke ratio is slightly wider which is just out of range for the magnet to work. After figuring out a way to rig it so that it's within the 3mm range between magnet and sensor, I'm stuck with very poor mph accuracy.

Pros
  • Be prepared to provide your own zipties, as the included ones are pure junk and break while installing.
Cons
  • Easy to set up, easy to read but the speed was inconsistent and 2mph off.

Not impressed: my feedback

List of why not to buy:1. Cheap.2. The distance that you have to place the "Computer” from the signaling Device, and the distance between signaling Device & Magnet absurd.3. INSTRUCTION PAMPHLET TO SMALL. Need magnifying Glass to read.4. The Instructions show the Magnet attached to (2) Spokes. Won’t work because of distance issues.

Pros
  • good product
Cons
  • The device is not user-friendly and may take time to master

Pretty good best in my review

Good mounting instructions, easy to do, everything provided. Works like a charm. Operation is kind of annoying for more advanced actions but it's pretty good for doing the basic things like tracking speed, distance, etc.

Pros
  • Enjoy peace of mind while cycling in all weather conditions with the waterproof and durable design
Cons
  • The device may not be suitable for use in countries with different measurement systems

Good for the price good for me

I’m training for an MS 150 ride and new to cycling. I want to ride for the charity event, but don’t want to break the bank getting into the sport. I purchased an older but high quality road bike and wanted a speedometer to help me train. After looking at several other models this one had thousands of reviews, and most of them were good. This one was under $20, wireless, and had very good reviews.The item arrived in under 48 hours, and I spent about 15-20 minutes installing the speedometer on…

Pros
  • Multi-functions
Cons
  • The instruction manual is difficult to follow

It's so so for my opinion

After 5 months, I wanted to return this, but the window for return has closed :-(It works so so. At first it seemed to work, but sometimes I questioned the mph hitting compared to my Sigma speedometer on the other bike. Sometimes the data seemed questionable.After the bike sat in the car, around 40 degree temps, the speedometer stopped working. Brought it in the house, and it worked on the next ride. But then 1/2 the time, it wouldn't register the speed. Super annoying.Never had an issue with…

Pros
  • Easy to Install &Use
Cons
  • The device may not work correctly in the rain

Good for the price in my review

It was quick and easy to install , however not so intuitive to useStill referring to the manual to figure which button to press for resetting the various parameters you want to track on the rideOverall does the job though and for the price can’t be beat

Pros
  • ‎Green
Cons
  • The device is too complicated to operate while riding

Great basic odometer for the price

Easy enough to set up, came with an extra battery (need 2, came with 3). I'm using it on a bike set up on an indoor trainer, so the front wheel doesn't spin. Had to get creative to mount the sensor on the back wheel, as the distance between where I could mount the sensor and where the magnet is on the spokes was too far. I used a few layers of double-sided foam tape to mount the sensor so it sat close enough to the spokes. Even with the sensor & magnet on the back wheel, the computer portion…

Pros
  • Would not work with my electric bike
Cons
  • The unit is bulky and may interfere with other handlebar components

LIMITED wireless range

I bought this with the intention of mounting the sensor and magnet on the 700C rear wheel for use with a static trainer. After installation noted zero reception at the computer. The transmitter has insufficient power to reach the computer from the rear wheel to the handlebars! I was forced to move the computer from the handlebar to the frame in front of the seat to ensure reception. Wish I'd known in advance the install instructions enclosed with the unit state the maximum distance between the…

Pros
  • Monitor your daily cycling activity and keep track of your fitness progress
Cons
  • The device may require more than one setting to display all its functions

Just ok system in my review

Product just a OK to me. The directions are terrible and incorrect. I could not get the unit to work unless it is mounted as seen in my pictures. The magnet should be located about center of pickup note location in picture. Weather is breaking here in Michigan hope it last so we can further try out the speedometer. To save time mount it my way everything else is simple install on handlebar

Pros
  • Never worry about water damage again thanks to the durable, waterproof design
Cons
  • The device is not equipped with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity

EASY TO READ: my feedback

This was purchased for my 12 year old grandson. It is so easy to use. He resets it so easily on the start of each ride (a more complicated one on my bike isn’t that easy). Digits are easy to read, even in our Florida bright summer sun! Will buy one for my wife now.

Pros
  • With multi-functions like a clock, timer, and odometer, this device is ideal for serious athletes and casual riders alike
Cons
  • The packaging does not include screws or other mounting hardware

SY Bicycle Computer

I ordered 2 of these bicycle computers. When I opened the box boxes I noticed that the protective cover was not on the batteries.The instructions noted to remove the battery coverings. One had parts missing and I returned. It took some effort to set up and position the speedometer attachment so it would work. It is impossible to read the modes riding the bicycle as the letters are very small. The readout is easy to read.I purchased 2 for my 2nd bicycle. After returning the defective one I…

Pros
  • Effortlessly monitor your cycling speed and distance with this wireless speedometer and odometer
Cons
  • The device may beep annoyingly during use
