A good buy for a simple and reliable Bike Computer
September 28, 2015
This bike computer is a good buy for the money. $14 isn't cheap, but it is less expensive than the local bike shop.The computer works fine - I particularly like that the numbers are large, and there is a 'scan' feature that rotates through speed, average speed, distance, etc. A really nice feature is that there is some mechanism inside (little steel ball I suspect) that rolls as soon as the device is moved, waking up the screen. That's nice. And a feature I had not expected is that the timer automatically starts and stops. That is very handy, as I almost ALWAYS forget to start those sorts of thing.The setup was straightforward, but a bit tricky. Just gotta make very sure you have the magnet mounted such that it moves within about 1/8" of the wireless sensor. That wasn't difficult, but took a bit of trial and error to find the right spot. No worries, it added about an extra 3 minutes to the otherwise fast install.
Great Value for most people.
September 26, 2015
As an economy entry in bicycle computers, this hits the mark. Although the instruction manual is not the greatest, you can figure out how to use this thing pretty quickly. It has basic functions and they should suffice for most situations. They are:1. Speed (Speed is the major readout and is always on display. Choose MPH or KPH.)2. ODO (Odometer--you can reset this at any time)3. DST (Distance, or leg Distance. Think of it as a "trip odometer")4. AVS (Average Speed. This displays the average speed of the leg distance, not the overall distance as measured by ODO)5. MXS (Maximum Speed. This displays your fastest achieved speed on the DST or leg distance)6. Scan Mode (Scrolls through DST, AVS and MXS)7. Clock Mode (Displays time, 12h or 24h)Note: This computer will have occasional hiccups which may affect accuracy. I have run it concurrently with GPS and the Distance and Average Speed seem accurate. However, the readout most affected by these hiccups is maximum speed. By the time I finish most trips, my maximum speed readout is 92 MPH. I'm good, but I ain't that good. Roided out pros aren't that good.If maximum speed is important to you, then skip this computer.

July 12, 2015
Yes! This is great!, fast delivery (before the date Time they gave me). Product excellent! A lit confused to the begin to set up, however is a question of minutes. I used twice and tried km and miles, I can't believe my eyes that right it is. Very easy to install, less than 10', if u are the person slow skills I recommend u to watch some YouTube videos abt installation, (so easy). And so easy understand the functions after use it the first time. I'm really so happy to discover this, cheap and good. This beats "sigma", "cateye ", being this brands the best on market. Bluesmart nothing to envy to those brands. I hope it helps u to decide it I recommend it at all!. AMZL-US amazing carrier too, something new I discovered.
This unit was very easy to set up and the directions were very clear
July 10, 2015
This unit was very easy to set up and the directions were very clear. Additionally, the seller sent another set of instructions via email with little tweaks to make it work even better. I like the fact that I don't have to strap down a wire running from the unit to the control head. This installation looks much cleaner than my old one. It also takes the CR2032 Battery which is great for me because I get these batteries with my water filter (don't ask) and I don't use them for anything else so I'll never run out of batteries and can always carry a spare in my bike bag.The numbers were spot on with my bicycling app on my Iphone regarding distance, once I put in the correct numbers.
A Winner

Easy to install, easy to see and use. Great price!
Good product, easy to install and use right away.
June 4, 2015
Received the order on time from the seller. It was easy to install and use on a ride right away - I used youtube to view a sample installation. Also, I used a GPS system while riding to track the mph and distance and this speedometer/odometer was accurate.

Nice options
July 6, 2017
This was pretty easy to install and the varied settings are helpful. I think there is some wiggle room for where you put the sensor on the wheel as to how accurately it measure speed and distance. I use this in addition to my iPhone and cadence sensor to monitor speed and distance; it seems to track a bit faster and further than the GPS in the phone. I tend to have this display speed and the time so the phone can do the HR, cadence, and overall distance. It's much easier to watch the time on this than the phone.
Exactly what I needed.
February 21, 2017
Exactly what I needed. This cyclocomputer does everything I want: current speed, average speed, max speed, time of day, time on your current ride, and an odometer. I especially wanted one that was wired because then I will be sure it's connected. When I first installed it, I put it on the front wheel. But then I got a stationary bike trainer and oops -- the front wheel doesn't move. So, I had to make a few modifications to put the sensor on the back wheel instead. The wire was not long enough to keep the display on the handlebars, so I moved it to just underneath. I can still read it because the numbers are nice and big. Also, the rear fork is farther away from the spokes on the back wheel compared to the front wheel, so I cut up a chopstick and made a spacer. I just taped it on; I will probably need more tape if I ride in the rain. After those two simple modifications, now I can use it with my trainer just as easily.
New, But So Far Faultless
May 5, 2014
First, I chose a wired model over wireless because I read a lot of reviews where people had trouble with wireless units around power-lines and electrical equipment (the computer resetting, turning off, etc.). On my TREK Shift 4, the Velo mount fits perfectly on the stem, just behind/below the handlebars. It mounts easily and securely with small nylon ties (and a sticky pad on the inside of the mounting block keeps it from slipping--although, be sure to hold the mount in place as you remove the computer). The wire between the pickup and the computer was, for me, the perfect length--I used thin wire-ties to secure the wire and hide it. There are some really helpful computer setup videos on YouTube (look for the guy--BikemanforU, with the colorful charts--he only has videos for Velo-5 and 8, but 8 works for everything on the 7, but the clock (or, maybe I just didn't understand that part). Even though I was only able to find one Velo-7 video--and it was in an Asian language--having already gotten the feel for things from BikemanforU, I was able to watch the Asian person's finger movements and figure out the clock--not too difficult, and it's great that I have all of the Velo functions operating). After recording the details of a ride in my journal, it is very easy to reset the computer functions for my next ride. BTW, BikemanforU (the colorful-chart guy), has a good video on measuring the circumference of your tire and converting it to centimeters. His Velo 8 video shows you how to use a centimeter measurement rather than just choosing, say, the 26" tire option (mine are 26", but I choose to measure the tire circumference and enter it in centimeters to get the most accurate speed and distance readings. (Pay attention to the last part of his video on measuring the tire; it tells you how to do it by marking the ground under the valve stem, rolling the tire one revolution and marking it again, then measuring the distance between marks and converting it to centimeters. It was easiest way he showed to get the measurement (I used a black marker on my concrete driveway). If you cut and paste the links below, I hope they take you where they should. (LATER: Sorry, but it looks like the three links would not transfer to the review page.)[...])[...])[...])
Too easy to use
March 11, 2013
If all you need are the basics and something that takes about 10 minutes to install then buy this right now. The setup was easy and the one button feature is a blessing. I've been riding for decades and am so over the mega-multi function monster that takes an I.T. wiz kid to program. This one had me at hello.....
simple
March 4, 2013
I think this is my 5th CatEye bike computer (I can't stop buying bikes) and by far the least expensive and most simple. Previous models have been wireless but after spending a lot of time trouble shooting a model with a second wireless sensor with cadence I was burnt out on it and wanted a simple hard wired unit that records basic data (time duration, average speed, trip odometer and odometer that doesn't reset with other data). The only other thing I really wanted in the computer was that it would auto pause when not moving so I didn't have to remember to turn it on or off when stopping for a break or stoplight.This computer does all of that with a large display and low price tag.
Best Bicycle Speed and Trip Computer
February 5, 2013
This product is easy to mount and set up when following directions. The numbers are large and easy to read while riding your bike. It has all the functions a novice or semi serious rider would need. When we go for a ride we get our riding time, distance, average speed, maximum speed, real time speedometer, has a clock, and maintains an odometer for bike miles. Except for the clock and odometer you may reset everything else for a new ride. This device is easy to use and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys riding a bicycle. It is priced very reasonable. Have had this product for three months with no problems. A must have and a great product.

March 11, 2016
I've been using this for almost two months now. Seems to be quite accurate and it's survived several rainy rides, so the waterproofing works (unlike my previous non-resistant bike computer that was done for after being caught in the rain once). Of course you need to make sure your sensor is set up properly and make sure it's properly tightened to the fork. The only issue I have with this guy is that if you ride bumpy roads, you might have to readjust the sensor kind of frequently.
Not for an indoor trainer, but great for outside riding
November 6, 2015
We purchased this thinking it would work for our indoor bike trainer. Technically it does attach to the bike and perform the function as described, but the reader where it shows your actual distance needs to be within a certain (small space) from the moving tire sensor. So, it would need to be attached to the seat pole vs the handle bars, where you could actually see your readings. I'm sure it will work great in the spring/summer/fall when we are able to ride outside. Otherwise would have probably given a 5 star. It is a little chinsy, but does what it's supposed to do for a good price.
Great computer, handlebar mount could be better
August 13, 2015
Very easy to set up and get working. Does exactly what is says - and is a good speedometer/odometer. I haven't got it wet yet, but so far so good.The only negative is that they give you basically an elastic to mount the computer to the handlebars, which is a little cheap and tends to make the computer slide around the handlebar while riding. I don't think it would fall off in normal riding, but I could see it potentially fly off in a crash. A better mount would be a nice addition and I might try to make up something myself to get it more secure.
Good cheap computer
August 2, 2015
For how cheap it is, it's pretty good. Has an accurate measure of speed on my 700x23c tires. Has all the basic functions (odo, speed, trip, time, etc). Wireless, so that's obviously nice. Came early in the mail. The only thing I dislike about it, is that the backlight only works from the evening to the early morning based on the time that's programmed into the unit, and it only works if you press the button at night, even then it only stays on for just a few seconds so it's kindof harder to see it at night. Other than that though it's a good computer. Looks pretty clean on my bike too, it's mounted on the stem.
Good price, does what it should.
July 29, 2015
Very reasonably priced, perfect for what I needed. Installed without issue and has worked well in sun as well as downpour. The magnet part that attaches to the spokes is made for round spokes and I have rectangular spokes - however, the magnet mounted at a slight angle but still works as it should. The instructions that came with the Unit were typical broken English stuff from China, but I muddled through them. They must have realized the instructions were barely adequate because several weeks after I received the device, they emailed me an updated manual and a request for feedback which is why I am writing this review. Would order from them again.

June 8, 2015
Considering the cost, it is outstanding. It seems to be a little more finicky during installation to get the proper reading and found myself on a few rides without function. I finally got it secured and there is no longer an issue. I have used several computers that were much more expensive that performed worse. The band that secures the unit to the handlebar is worthless but I fixed that by stealing a hair band from my daughter and used a small zip tie to size it perfect. All told, It fits the bill for what I needed it to do. A simple, no frills bike computer.

reliable option
March 15, 2017
This was a gift for my bicycle-loving, math-nerd son. We had gotten him a wireless bike computer, but it ate through two batteries within a month and then died on us, so I figured a wired version would be a good replacement option. The wire is plenty long; we actually had to zip-tie a large loop against his fork to keep it from being a hazard. While my son was disappointed that he couldn't toggle between mph/kph on this one like he could on his last device (and if I recall correctly, it doesn't keep quite as many stats), he's been happy with its performance and, though we put a new battery in when it arrived, we've not yet had to replace it and we're just days shy of having put in a year of use.
Solid product, build quality could be better
December 17, 2016
I did not think I would like this as much as I did. It has a big screen, which as a young male I thought who cares? But this makes a difference! At a glance lets me keep my eyes on the road. I use this on my touring bike and its simplicity is perfect for the job. There is only one button to cycle through the modes and I typically leave it on trip distance. There's nothing too fancy about this. It is also the first wired bike computer I have bought and I am pretty happy with it! I love the way only one battery is required because I am sick of having to replace two on the wireless units each time one of them dies. However, I will still be using wireless units for road biking, but I would buy this unit for any other type of riding I do.I took off one star because of the build quality. I was disappointed especially with the wire that connects the monitor to the sensor. It is a little cheap and I feel like CatEye could have made a better effort to make where the wire connects to the two components little sturdier. I have not expereinced any issues yet with this, but that was definitely a little disappointing.Overall, I am happy with this purchase especially for this price. You probably get just a little more than you payed for with this, which is all I ask. Thank you.
Adequate for the Price.
October 27, 2016
It's worth the price, but not more. The setup is more difficult than it should be, and the instructions are really lame and hard to follow. Custom wheel size can only be set to 3 digits; "215" CM instead of "2155" for my 700c x 32 tires, for example. Close enough, but how hard would it have been for them to allow 4-digit calibration?HINT: If you get stuck in setup with it toggling between "kmh" and "mph" for a hour or two or even more, as I did - you aren't pressing the little buttons on the back in deep enough. Your finger won't work, and neither will the end of a nylon wire tie. Break off a wooden toothpick and use the blunt end. That works.My one big complaint with this thing is that it only display two items on the display. I'd like to have speed, distance and elapsed time all on the display at one time. As it is, I use speed and distance, and then have to press the front button 5 times to cycle through stuff I don't need to see my elapsed time.
Exactly what I expected. But now I wish it had just a couple of extra features.
February 13, 2015
I read a lot of reviews on bike computers before purchasing, and ultimately this Velo 7 is what I need. I have separately a GPS watch with a heart rate monitor which I could wear if I wanted, so I did not need the extra functions on the computer itself. The only thing which made me consider others brands and models was the lack of cadence function. A good friend of mine who rides with me often checks the cadence all the time and adjusts his workout. The Velo 7 does not track cadence, which is fine by me. That said, I use this on a regular mountain bike, not on a spinning bike.Installation took about 10 minutes. Menu setup took another 5 minutes. The instructions are good. Pictures and flow-charts are included, which helps a lot. You can't beat the price of this product either.I would give it 5+ stars if it had a backlit screen. Right now the screen is a little dim. I do ride my bike after dark sometimes, not often but it happens, and a brighter screen would have been nicer.I am also not a big fan of the zip-tie installation. I would have liked it better if they made an actual mounting bracket for the base, rather than using zip-ties to attach the base.
I like it a lot. !
September 4, 2014
works pretty well... the instructions leave a BIT to be desired (all pictures, not much useful text) but mounting is pretty logical and programming is annoying, but only at first. Counting the 2 on the back (SET and RESET) and the dual button on the front its really a 4 button unit... but again... a little trial and error and it sets up pretty quickly. Once set you only need the dual button on the front. A back light button would be nice (if it had one).Since it involves running wire on a bike You may want to have some extra tie wraps handy to account for the trial and error of a first time mounting. (I bought 2 of these and the second one went in super fast/easy.) Thanks to the person saying extrema heat in a super hot car can cook one of these. Really that is just common sense but, Good to know.Assuming it holds up I would call this a 5 star unit. Very solid operation!!!My guess is its pretty dam accurate with just factory settings. Odds are I will end up with one of these on all my bikes.AND BTW, TO SET THAT CLOCK... after you select 12 or 24 hours (and before you push SET on the back of the unit) push and hold the front buttons and the hours will blink,, adjust as needed then push hold front buttons again to set min... then push rear SET button and your done. (took me forever to figure that out)
Works well
August 15, 2013
I wanted one installation that measured my speed whether on the road or on the trainer. This means I needed to mount the sensor on the rear wheel. Wireless bike computers don't have the range to allow that, so I got this wired unit. The wire is not long enough to reach from the rear wheel to the handlebar, so I mounted the display unit on the crossbar. The wire is long enough that the computer display is pretty close to the handlebar, clearing the leg motion and not interfering with mounting/dismounting the bike and also is easy to see with a downward glance; it is essentially in the same field of view as a handlebar mount.I also had to make a spacer to attach the sensor inboard close enough to the rear wheel that it senses the magnetic field from the magnet on the spoke. A piece of old nylon cutting board for the spacer, a file to shape it so the zip ties held it securely, and some hot glue to keep it from shifting were enough.The computer itself is easy to use and easy to mount. Unless you want a lot more features, this seems to work well. It really is nice having one button to to change modes and reset for a trip.I have not tried it in wet or cold weather yet, so I won't give it 5 stars until I see that it remains functional in bad weather.

Great price and seem to track mileage fine, but unable to reset to zero for each ride. Clicking the buttons don't work.
Not easy to navigate the menus for me.
April 22, 2016
Works fine but I didn't think it was easy to navigate the modes and screens. I have since replaced it with the Cyclometer phone app.
Good for warm weather not for the cold.
February 29, 2016
I have used the bike computer for several months now. It is great having the scan mode so that I can see all of the states for a ride. My only complaints are that to reset the trip I have to hold one of the buttons for 5 seconds but to reset my odometer I hold the same button for 2 seconds. I am always so worried that I am going to rest my overall millage. The other thing that I have noticed is that in cold weather it does not do a very good job recording. I was on a ride today and It recorded for the first 5 miles and then after that I did not receive any data.I would recommend this computer for casual warm weather rides but not if you are wanting to keep track of rides in cold or not the most desirable weather.

They still make these hard wired?
October 29, 2017
Just received it and I guess I didn't read the specs very well before ordering. I didn't know they still made bike speedometers witha wire connecting the sensor and the computer. Been a decade since I had to run a wire up my fork to the computer. Quaint.Instructions for programing are cryptic pictures. Web site for detailed instructions will not open. I used the quick tire sizing set up and could tell it was incorrect because I rode a distance that I know is 9 miles and got a trip of 12 miles.Nice clear screen now I just need to decipher the instructions,Jim Benefiel
I also don't like the selection of tire sizes (mine wasn't included)
September 5, 2017
I wish they would include a longer connection--one that reached my rear wheel so I could use it on my rollers. I also don't like the selection of tire sizes (mine wasn't included). I much prefer computers that allow one to input a direct measurement.
NOT FOR FATBIKES
August 30, 2017
looks like a good item with good reviews. does NOT fit a fat tired bike. I'm trying a modification but unsure it will work.
Five stars if the wire between the pick-up sensor and the dislplay were longer.
September 23, 2016
I like the large display and like using this. I would likely purchase this again if something happened to the one I have. I gave it three stars because the wire between the sensor and the display IS WAY TOO SHORT!!!!! I hope the manufacturer reads this. The only way I could install this on my bike was to CUT the wire in half and splice a longer wire into it. Completely ridiculous. It's also impossible to program without the instruction sheet.
Suprised
March 19, 2015
I have a 26" conventional style bike, the electrical wire is very short which makes it difficult to link the sending unit and computer. Directions recommends how to route the wire and if you attempt to do it in that manner its too short. I found the directions in setting the unit somewhat difficult, finally did so by trial and error after many attempts. Installing sensor and magnet which attach to spokes, required modification to the unit to bring it close enough them close enough. Cateye has good reviews and I am quite surprised they didn't do a better job designing this unit. It may fit the touring bike much better, do to the fact the tire to handle bars are closer together and the fork tend to be narrower which allows the sending unit to be installed closer to the spokes. I have mounted numerous speed computers and this was the most difficult. Cateye needs to extend the wire another 6 inches and design the pickup/sending unit mount with more adjust ability in mounting.
Slightly disappointed
September 30, 2014
The function of the computer is as advertised, but I had a REALLY hard time finding a place to mount the sensor where it passes within 5mm of the spoke chip. I have a mountain bike with a few modifications on it so I can use it as a (slow) road bike/touring bike and I really had to scout to get the placement right. I actually ended up putting a piece of dense foam under the sensor to lift it off the frame a little. Also, if you want to mount this on your REAR tire because you are going to use a bike trainer, the cord is barely long enough. I am 5'2" tall, so you can imagine that my frame isn't all that big, I think it is 15" if I remember correctly. If you tried to do it on a larger frame, the screen of the computer would be where your bottle cage is. As it is, my screen is about 4" from my handlebars on the top tube. I'm a little disappointed. I was happy that they included extra zip ties. I needed to get some more after all of the mounting and re-mounting, but having more than the minimum is helpful.

Does what it's supposed to do, but not for long
November 6, 2016
I'll admit I went cheap, but you can get higher quality cyclocomputers than this for not much more. In the one year that I've had it I've gone through three button batteries for the main unit and a 12 volt battery for the sending unit, and despite all that it just will not keep accurate data after 15 months of use. The unit is within 15 inches, less tan 40 cm, and it's currently off by over 25% and reads all over the place when riding. I'm replacng it with a Cateye wired unit.You'll also notice that there are identical units with at least six other brand names on them. Obviously some cheap generic product.
would give 5 star if it wasn't missing the chest belt
August 2, 2016
the computer is smaller than i thought but still easily readable. Like the functions but they are a bit hard to figure out. seems to be pretty accurate too. wheel sensor wasn't too picky about the distance between it and the magnet. Overall a good product just missing the rwst pf the package
Scan mode and backlight (clock activated) are nice features.

No problems once the instructions are decoded. Can't beat the price, I know of others paying up to $40.00 for a similar computer. Scan mode and backlight (clock activated) are nice features.4/13/16 Bought another for my second bike and it came without the shoe mount
Speedometer stopped working
July 10, 2015
I bought this for my son's birthday and he was so excited to see how fast he was riding. Unfortunately, the speedometer part stopped working after a day or two :-( He was very disappointed. I am disappointed in the product as well. I realize it wasn't very expensive, but all the features should have continued working for longer than a few days!
Not Actually Waterproof.
June 18, 2015
Seemed to be working alright, but definitely not as waterproof as I hoped. As in, I left it out one night in one storm and the thing was totally waterlogged, never worked again.Setup was a bit of a hassle but not bad at all, the interaction was working alright, seemed to be accurate, but I only got two days of use out of it because I thought it was waterproof (to be fair, the product description says it's "super waterproof" and the photo has it splashing in water), and it absolutely wasn't. After one overnight storm, the device was full of water and of course wouldn't respond or work. I tried letting it dry out for a few days in sun (didn't have rice), but that water stayed in there.Oh well, at least it was cheap.
Poorly Built Product
June 10, 2015
Once I repaired the battery terminal which was mis installed and damaged the rubber o-ring beyond use the thing finally worked but I figure the first time it sees rain it will short out. Sorry for the run-on sentence! Bottom line is i'm not all that happy w/ this purchase but the low price was too low to mess w/ the return hassle.

ODO doesn't work.
July 25, 2016
This computer attaches easily and securely. It works except for the odometer, which is stuck at 8 miles. (It's the only setting that doesn't reset when you hold down the button.) Now I need to find how to return it for a replacement. Hopefully, I can get them to let me keep the parts I've already installed and just replace the unit. I'll update this review once I find out what happens.

November 30, 2015
I've had this for a little over a month now and am disappointed. I wanted something for my bike that would work on my trainer stand in the winter. The first issue is that the cord is not long enough to reach the back wheel. So I put the meter on the crossbar under me. Even so the thing has only worked sporadically since installation. The pickup magnet is not working despite installing to their specs. I've sent a note to CatEye support, we'll see how that works.
Great until it stops working

For 3 months I loved this thing. After that, the display just switched to a clock only, and none of the other functions work. It's still a nice little clock but I miss seeing my current and average speed, etc.
A few disappointments

I have a Cateye Mity 8 on my bike that I have enjoyed for years, and I bought this for my wife's. However I am disappointed in this unit. The first problem I had was that the cord is too short on it. I was able to mount it to her Jamis Citizen Hybrid bike, but I was unable to really secure the wire like I wanted. It seems that the wire is just long enough to be used in the middle of the handle bars or stem. For other reasons I put her out on the ends of the bars just inside the grips, but I was unable to wrap the wire around the brake cables. Instead I zip tied it to some key points on the bars and the forks, but there is a section that runs along the head tube that just hangs out there with no other support. If it gets snagged, it is a goner.My next disappointment in it was the lack of being able to preset the odometer like the Mity 8 allows. This is a pain because I already know how many miles are on the bike and wanted it to start with that number. Cateye computers also reset the odometer when changing the battery, so this feature was to manually input the mileage again.My biggest disappointment in it though is in the Odometer display itself. It doesn't display tenths of a mile (my Mity 8 does). All the other modes will display tenths, but not the odometer.The mount for the unit itself doesn't have a press down latch to release the unit. It uses a friction system that takes a little bit of force to pop it off, but I can see that wearing out after some time.
Works as described

Great little computer that works as describes. Pretty simple to mount, just follow the instructions and you can accumulate data ASAP. Also, consider using it with mapmyride to get route data.EDIT 7/6/2015I've had this for one year now and it pretty much has fallen apart, doesn't pick up the sensor all the time, and doesn't provide accurate speeds when paired with a Garmin. It worked well for one season, but barely works now.

Lasted less than 4 months
February 29, 2016
This lasted only a few months under normal wear and tear before I could no longer get it to read. I am a bike commuter who also does weekend longer rides. At first, this worked perfectly fine with no issues. However, very rarely I needed to take my front wheel off (where the sensor is). I did this to either lock up the bike or fit it in a car. I can no longer get it to give me any data. I've played with it a decent amount to no avail. You get what you pay for - I definitely would not purchase again or recommend.
Spotty Transmission Between Sensor and Display
January 26, 2016
I’ve been using this cycling computer for about 8 months and its performance is been extremely spotty the whole time. I primarily purchased it for the odometer, but the sensor and display frequently loose connection to each other and I estimate it has failed to register about half of my mileage.The sensor is near the axel on my front fork. I started with the display on my handlebars, but quickly realized that it was not receiving a regular signal from the sensor. I replace the batteries in both the sensor and the display, then moved the display to my top tube where it seemed to work for a few months, but then it stopped receiving data again. I now have the display on my down tube where I can barely see it, and it registers about every 2 to 3 wheel revolutions. The magnet and sensor are both clean, and the batteries are fresh.I don’t know if I got a lemon, or I just got what I paid for.
Poor construction, battery contact makes this almost useless.

Extremely poor battery contact causes failure to display half of the LCD cells.Only once, after trying to reseat the battery more than ten times, was the display clearly visible. When riding, hitting a single bump ruined the connection, reset the computer, and caused the same display issues.

Disappointing. Either the computer head was defective or the instructions incorrect. Instructions poorly written with inadequate interpretation to English from native language Could not make it work. You get what you pay for and with this product, it doesn't cost much and you don't get much!
Operating instructions are horrible..
July 7, 2015
More Chinese junk. Computer stopped working in less than a month of use. Operating instructions are horrible...tells you to connect sensor wire when the unit is wireless. Function buttons stick in cheap plastic frame. Sensor tie straps break before unit is tight enough to not slip. All-around junk.

Device wouldn't set.
October 27, 2017
I'm sorry to say my computer didn't work. It had battery power to it, but when I was trying to do the settings, the SET button didn't seem to be working. I had selected miles per hour instead of kilometers and when I pushed the SET button, there was no response. This review is not intended to be any reflection on Amazon or the way they handle things. I am very satisfied with them.
Not able to make it work.

Prompt delivery. Easy install, reasonable programming, but could not get it to sense the rotating front wheel. Unfortunately, have to return.

bad computer - never turned on even after changing the battery ... then I put on another computer that I already owned and things worked for a couple of rides - then it suddenly wouldn't register when I was moving - ie. good computer but bad wiring ... overall total trash

Terrible product. The set button was difficult to press and I had a hard time setting up the computer because of that. I ended up pushing the button too deep and the product is no longer working as a result. I was told the computer was not eligible for return/replacement. I had only had it for 40 days when it broke.
