Schwinn 17-Function Bike Computer Aug 01, 2010 i was never really using it) might be good though, i just didnt really need it!
Better than I thought it would be! Jul 28, 2010 I was expecting a good speedo because of the brand name, and I was'nt let down! This thing is GREAT! I had read a few reviews, where the writer says this thing is crap, since it can't take bumps too well. DON'T BELIEVE IT! I PURPOSELY went down rough roads, went through potholes, (not TOO big, of course) uneven sidewalks, even a brick road! (yes, we still have one of those-I thought they were all gone) to test this thing, and it stayed on through ALL that, as well as gave a reading the whole time! Since it also has a backlite (which is something my last few speedometers did'nt have) I was VERY pleasantly surprised by this thing! ESPECIALLY since I live in an urban neighborhood 1 mile south of the shore of Lake Erie! I would DEFINETLY recommend this to everyone!
Amazing multi function bike computer! Jul 27, 2010 It took a while to figure out the wheel factor measurement for my 700x35C tires (I highly recommend the guides written in the reviews). But once I got everything loaded I've found this to be a great little gadget!
Junk Quick Release Jul 26, 2010 I had the Schwinn 12-Function for some time and knew I had to constantly check the computer was tight in the quick release...But, I wanted the 17-Function with calorie counter. First time out with new 17-Function it made half the trip and fell off somewhere on ride back home in the dark even though I checked it several times. Not worth the money! These Schwinn Computers are good and I'd give it 5 stars, but the quick release is total junk!!! I was sick of having to constantly check the old one, but thought maybe I had a bad one first time. New one seemed tighter, but evidently after a few bumps it was gone. Money down the drain after only being on the bike for an hour at most. I tossed the 12-Function in the trash too! I'm sick of the cheap plastic junk most things seem to be anymore! Bought a more expensive Sunlite and the quick release is sound! Don't like the computer as well, but I'll get use to it. If they'd fix the quick release problem I'd be willing to get a Schwinn again.
A definite recommend Jul 26, 2010 Found the product to do exactly what it was supposed to. Installation was a breeze - took a little over 10 minutes. A suggestion, before you fix the components permanently, do a dry run and identify the final positions of the components. Once you have the positions pretty much defined then attach them permanently. A little tweaking might be needed but I found that a gap of 2mm or so is fine. Have been using it for over a month and have had no problems. The display is accurate and works well and I haven't had to make any adjustments since installation. This is a great product for the price.
