Summary: Works well once you figure it out
Comment: Instructions are very weak, but if you tinker with it long enough, this was a good purchase. Very low cost and provides the necessary information for bicycling. YOu have to make sure the sensor goes by the magnet at just the right spot or this won't work. However, the "sensor" is actually just a small part of a small piece which you need a magnifying glass to read.

Overall, I would give it a 4 out of 5.

Summary: Great speedo
Comment: This little gadget is great! To be fair, the main reason it didn't get 5 stars is that it's not wireless. I started using it about a month ago and haven't had to replace the battery yet as other reviewers have mentioned.

It's accurate, easy to program and has a lot of functions. No need to worry about starting it as I have with other speedos - it starts when the bike starts moving. Very easy to navigate and set to "scan," my favorite function. Easy to read as well. The only little nitpick I have is that it seems to have a lag in showing the realtime speed of about 2 seconds, but this isn't a big deal. EDIT: I haven't seen any of the power outage issues others have reported.

I'll be ordering a second one for my other bike now.

Summary: You get what you pay for.
Comment: The LED display didn't work very well and the actual settings steps did not correspond to the instructions. I finally just gave up and tossed the device in a box. I'd return it, but since it wasn't very expensive, at all, and the hassle of repackaging and taking it the post office, and contacting the vendor, etc. are all sufficient enough a deterrent to cause me to just consider this a bad purchase. I should have purchased one locally from a Bike shop, so that I could have just more easily taken it back in for an exchange or refund. This was one of those "You get what you pay for" bargains...I paid next to nothing and that's what I received in return. Lesson learned.

Summary: Bike Computer
Comment: Order delivered as promised through Amazon. The 17-function bike computer is pretty cool. I used the standard wheel settings that were available on the directions and it comes close to measuring distance that I measured with my car. It has more options that I needed since all I care about was distance, time, speed, and trip time. I replaced the small cable ties that came with the bike computer with larger 8" cable ties since I use it on a mountain bike and the vibration seemed to affect the performance of the product. Once replaced everything was fine. It does have a back light that can be activated and the odometer can be reset if it ever gets wiped out. Also, all reviews written by everyone else was abig deciding factor to purchase.

Summary: Terrific Schwinn Bike Speedometer
Comment: This is my third Schwinn Bike Computer (Speedometer). Schwinn 17-Function Bike Computer The only reason I got this one is to replace a 12 function model that was a great little speedometer, but got broken during a move a couple of years ago. I still have one of that model on my wife's bike.
I must admit that Schwinn's instructions seem to get a little more vague with every model they come out with, but the unit isn't all that difficult to set up once you figure out what they're talking about in their setup manual and since I managed to set it up I won't lower my rating for that as long as it works like it should.
As mentioned by a few others in the reviews, the spacing of the sensor is really extremely critical to proper functioning of the unit. So is inputting the correct tire size so you won't be registering 65mph when you're only doing 5mph!
Overall, I find the speedometer to be every bit as accurate as the 12 function model was, which was really great, with the addition of 5 more functions. I like the added feature of the temperature readout here in Arizona where I do my riding. I enjoy knowing just how miserable I am from the heat! It seems to be within a degree or so of any other thermometer I have checked it against.
I started biking again after a hiatus of over 2 years to try ridding myself of excess weight I put on after I quit smoking and just for the enjoyment of cycling again, so it doesn't hurt that it gives me an idea of calories burned either.
I can easily give the Schwinn 17 function Bike Computer a 5 star rating as it does everything Schwinn claims and does it very well! Unlike some others who rated it lower than 5 stars simply because they didn't know for sure how long it would last, I have never had a problem with the longevity of Schwinn products, so it gets 5 stars from me!
Once again, take the time to properly measure your tire and correctly space the spoke sensor and you should love this unit!
