Review on Topeak Panoram V16 16 Function Dual Wireless Cycle Computer with Cadence: Your Ultimate Cycling Companion by Steve Hauck

Read the reviews and take note of any negative comments. Despite the low ratings, I really liked the unique style of this device, so after doing a little research I decided to order it anyway. Needless to say, I returned it within an hour of opening the box due to a physical defect, which none of the other reviewers cited as a problem. There are 4 spring-loaded contact pins on the back of the display that retract when it is in place. slides into a docking unit that attaches to the handlebars. One of those 4 pins on my device got stuck and wouldn't retract, preventing the display from fitting properly in the bracket. Since I sent the device back, I didn't open the plastic bags containing the cadence and wheel speed sensors, but I also noticed that the battery in the display unit was completely dead. Checking with a voltmeter showed no charge. Based on previous reviews I was planning on replacing the battery anyway and it's a standard CR 2032 cell. One point I had a hard time finding beforehand was the display size (I couldn't find it in the user's fine print ). manual sheet). Revain's product description lists the dimensions as 7 x 4 x 2.1 inches, which is the size of the box it comes in. The overall size of the display (with buttons) is 2 and 3/4 (7 cm), which is slightly smaller than 1 and 7/16 (3.5 cm), and the display area itself is 2 and 1/4 (5.7 cm). slightly larger than 3/4 (2 cm). It was actually less than I expected. This screen size is adequate and not a problem for me, but one of the reasons I ordered this item was that I thought the screen was much larger than other devices. Unfortunately, I still like the design. device and I am disappointed that I never used it.
