🚲 Cycling Computer - Bell Dashboard: Optimize Your Ride Review

I installed the Dashboard 150 but when I finish my trip I can't easily reset my trip odometer or time. The instructions say to press and hold the left and right buttons for 3 seconds. This resets my trip meter and time, but also everything else, like the wheel value, km/m selection and the 24 hour format option. It's a real agony then resetting everything to reset my mileage. I looked for it in the Q&A and it says the manual is wrong and all you have to do is press the left button for three…

I do not recommend this device. It was purchased to replace a Bell F12 bike computer which has lasted 7 years and over 5,000 miles. Eventually this block corroded as it was primarily in a marine environment. It appears to be a newer version of the device. It's much lighter and the control knob isn't that reliable. The bike zippers are very flimsy and don't hold the computer and sensors securely. Two months later (when the return window was closing), the computer would not turn on after several…

Would have been a 5 star rating if the instructions were correct. Very good bicycle speedometer that is easy to assemble. My initial frustration was that the owner's manual listed the wrong method for resetting the trip meter. I want to do that at the beginning of every trip. The guide contains instructions that lead to a factory reset of the entire device. Time, wheel diameter and total mileage will be lost trying to reset the tripmeter your way. The correct way to reset the trip meter is to…

UPDATE 30 SEPTEMBER 2021 ON ORIGINAL REVIEW; This speedometer broke after two weeks, less than nine (9) miles, it stopped registering. There was a display on the handlebar mount, but it didn't register any movements of the bike. Sent back for a refund. ORIGINAL REVIEW SEPTEMBER 14, 2021: After reading some of the reviews that said they got the wired version I wanted this. I have a wireless version of the Bell bike speedometer that works for me as long as the speedometer has a constant indicates

The Bell 100 dashboard touts 12 functions in one compact unit and delivers most of them. Setting up the computer is very simple: install magnet, sensor and base with zippers, set time and distance standard, done. Wheel stats are defined in the manual so it's pretty easy to get started. However, if you mount the computer on a different bike, you will need to set it to a different wheel value to keep the computer accurate. What's nice is that the computer stores data about your ride, such as…

I'm giving 5 stars because of the price. Let's face it, you want to look good when you buy a new bike, and sexy aero frames and carbon fiber stuff is an economic sacrifice if you're not rich. For Those on a Tight Budget When the cost of a bike eats up your entire budget, you'll have to wait until your next paycheck (or next few, depending) to get all the accessories you want. That thing shines. At the time of writing this review, the price has even dropped below what I paid for it ($8) and…

In short, the only advantage of this particular speedometer over almost all other similar devices is that its calibration setting corresponds to a much larger circle of rotation in millimeters. This is only important if you want to install it on a special stationary exercise bike as a replacement for a broken normal speedometer. Again, this upgrade only takes place if the sensor is to detect the rotational speed of the drive HANDLE; and not the revolutions of the driven wheel. In such cases…
