Review on Planet Bike Protégé 9.0 Bike Computer: Track Your Cycling Stats with Precision by Jeff Callier

Revainrating 1 out of 5

stopped working in the rain

All I wanted was a very simple, wired, really reliable computer. I used to have a few wireless ones, but I've encountered unstable things, apparently due to interference from the lights I'm using (others post a lot about this interference issue). So I did some research and found this Protege 9.0, bought it and put it on my bike, I really liked it, bought a second one and put it on my second bike. Then I drove the ride in the rain and the display went invisible. He returned a few hours later when the sun came out and the computer was dry. And my second bike is the same: I rode in the rain, the display was blacked out and finally came back after a few hours after drying off. All the nice features of this computer are worth nothing to me if it stops working every time I ride in the rain. Now I need to find a simple computer that is RELIABLE. Planet Bike, do better next time.

Pros
  • planet bike protege 9.0 9 function bike computer with 82cm front harness kit and pannier
Cons
  • Not everything fits
