Review on Planet Bike Protege 8 Function Computer by Justin Jeppi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very easy to reset the block, 2

Problems; 1. The device is very easy to reset, 2. the display is not very intuitive, most will reset to "0" instead of blank because it's easier to read. 3. The sensor should come with two levels of mounting for installation on mountain bike and road bike. I had to reduce the distance between the sensor and magnet by a factor of 3 before it started working, but I still don't know if the distance is correct. 4. No backlight, making the device unreadable in nightPro; 1. Great price. 2. Lots of metrics; You get distance, time, speed, max speed, average speed, up or down arrow to show if you are going above or below average speed, time of day (always on), odometer (total distance), adjustable for all bike length circles. 3. The build quality is good, the design is attractive, does not look out of place and cheap.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
