Revainrating 4 out of 5

That made my life a lot easier.

I've been using wired cycle computers for a while. I have a couple of recumbents with about 3 feet of wheel to handlebar spacing, so a wireless computer wasn't an option. I was having problems with my current computer and was looking for options. I was expecting to pay at least $100 for a dedicated bike GPS but wasn't thrilled. I was surprised to see $35 options. For the price I thought it was worth a try. Assembly was pretty easy, I ended up printing out a few extra brackets that I can easily share between bikes. The only problem I encountered. When setting up, there was a tiny little writing in the instructions and I didn't read it properly at first. It was easy enough to find instructions online and then figure out what I was doing. The first step is to determine your time zone, I didn't understand that at first and ended up having to reset everything. Setting this up was much easier than a standard bike computer. This one is pretty basic but has exactly what I want in a bike computer; my current speed, distance traveled, driving time and time of day. I don't need all the extra stuff like cadence or heart rate. I just removed the wiring for other computers from my bikes, now I can easily swap without having to resize wheels. I only gave 4 starts because the reset button is on the back. I would have preferred the trip reset to be one of the big buttons on the top, and since I can't plug the charge cable into the charge port when it's on the bike mount is a bit in the way of the port.
