Review on 🚲 Enhanced Search-Optimized Protegé 5.0 Bike Computer by Planet Bike by Daryl Barton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bike Planet Bike Protege 5.0 "Computer " (Speedometer)

First the good: 1. The display is wonderful. Tells you what you want, clearly and with plenty of choice.2. Installation is the usual headache, but the instructions are adequate.3. The same applies to the setting of display functions.4. The workmanship seems to be very good and it does what it should. Now for the bad: 1. It failed in less than 60 days and it wasn't the battery. Revain has a 30-day return policy, so no help here. I have emailed Planet Bike the manufacturer but no response yet. 2. The round bracket for attaching the display to the steering wheel is gigantic, like the steering wheel is the size of an exhaust pipe! You need to use rubber, cardboard, tape, etc. to create a thick collar on the handlebar to mount the display head. That ugly mounting ring looks awful and not very secure.3. Instead of pressing buttons, you can slide the entire display forward on the mount by pressing the button at the bottom to select the display. It's a pain in the neck, clumsy as it sounds. I prefer the top few keys. Will I buy again? May be. I'll see if Planet Bike supports a replacement. If there is no replacement, I will discard this product and it will be manufactured.
