Fun to assemble. Delete and repeat on every charge? No way!

Trying to understand the schematic instructions before attaching them to my bike, I innocently clicked "Bike Connector Mount" to "Computer ". Game over! Once connected, the two parts are permanently bonded together. This means the entire device and its charging mount must be removed off the bike (unless you have a USB power source less than a few inches away). That means you're pulling O-rings (aka "rubber bands") out of tiny mounting slots. An o-ring ruptured trying to do this. Then try to put them back in somehow after charging. I assumed the "computer" could be easily removed from the mount to turn it back on, but once the battery dies you're doomed to repeat this process for each charge. go back! Posting a photo of its back - an invisible editing nightmare not addressed in the CYCPLUS ad. "Easy installation"? get real!

Cons
  • I can't remember, but there was something
