Damn cool for sports

Installation is a headache ___________ (insert your own expletive). In part I skip them because working inside the spokes of a bike wheel is very difficult no matter how you cut it. Luckily they give you lots of microscopic screws to attach the levers to because I dropped them probably 10 times and ended up losing 3 of them. Once you get it working, it's pretty cool. The documentation is rather poor. The Android app is a bit unreliable as of August 3rd, 2017. It had pairing issues, accidentally failed to connect to the device, and randomly crashed. Bluetooth issues could also be related to my Samsung phone as I find Samsung's Bluetooth to be, in a nutshell, sucks. Overall, after a whopping 2 hours out-of-the-box, I'm happy with it so far. A bit pricey but someone bought it locally and I didn't have to wait for it to ship from China. I'm going to cancer research this Saturday and I want something different this year. One thing that made me downgrade this to 4 stars. However, to be honest I have no idea why they need my location data and the app will be hard blocked if you don't provide it. Not only did it leave a bug artifact on my screen that I was only able to get rid of by restarting the phone. However, once I got it working it was pretty easy, just snap the photo I had on my phone and the app would do the rest. . He converted it and downloaded it to the device and I was good to go. I am not yet

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
