Description of PTI Schwinn 12 Function Computer
Featuring the Schwinn brand Americans have trusted for over one hundred years this bicycle computer mounts directly onto the frame of the bicycle, providing the rider a clear view of all speed and distance measurements. Featuring a no friction and no contact design, this computer measures the amount of turns by the wheel to provide an accurate calculation without the need to touch or interfere with the performance of the wheel. PTI Sports products are designed with safety as the first and foremost concern and are constructed of high quality parts and materials to prevent degradation over time. Thoroughly tested, our products last through years of use before they are recommended for replacement, ensuring safe cycling for years to come.The folks at Schwinn obviously know a thing or two about bike accessories and this 12-function instrument should come in handy for anyone looking to use their biking time for something other than a pleasant pedal around the neighborhood. Attach it to your bike or hold it on the attached cord and get information on your speed, average speed, maximum speed, trip distance, odometer readings, total distance, ride time, and more. Bearing in mind that it's hard to push a lot of buttons while biking, the device features a single button control panel, allowing you to get the right information while still staying upright on the bike. --Charlie Williams
Sports reviews of PTI Schwinn 12 Function Computer
Customer Review: A great buy for the money.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I have had this item for several years now and it has almost always worked flawlessly. I even got it soaked during a rainstorm and it temporarily stopped working. But I took it off the mount and let it completely dry out and it started rightup the next time.
One complaint, because the display is LCD, when you are out in the sun for long periods of time, the display may appear as all 8's and may even have a scorched darkened area in the middle. This is only temporary, and is probably typical for LCD displays, but it is rather annoying on days when there are few clouds. It is actually still computing even though you may not be able to read it, and will return to normal in the shade.
Also, make sure to set the wheel size when you set it up.
Customer Review: Great bike computer - and cheap!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Having a wire go to the wheel sensor seems a bit old-school, but unlike a lot of the wireless units it actually WORKS. Sensor and magnet placement are critical, but once you get it right it works great (Oh, and since it's magnetic it isn't bothered by water, dust, mud etc).
If all you need is a basic computer (speed, distance etc - no calorie counter) the price can't be beat.
I've got one of these on my old road bike, one on my mountain bike, and I'm about to buy a third for my new road bike!
Customer Review: Bicycle Computer
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I purchased two of these, one for myself and another for a friend. I mounted them fairly quickly with no glitches after reading the instructions and they both seem to be working fine. If I had an issue it would be that if I understand the instructions correctly the trip odometer is only good to 99 miles. I haven't put that many on yet to see if I understood the manual correctly but time will tell. Otherwise for the price it is a great little computer for my needs.Customer Review: Lacks backlite, easy installation
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Contrary to previous ratings; I found this EXTREMELY easy to install.
The ONLY drawbacks I can see so far are the facts that
1. There's no back-lite which makes it rather useless at night.
2. It's PRETTY DARNED small! (better have "eagle eyes"!)
Customer Review: GREAT CONPUTER FOR LONG BIKE RIDES
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
THIS LITTLE GUY WORKS GREAT ONCE YOU HAVE READ THE INSTRUCTION FIRST AND MAKING SURE THE SPOKE SENSER IS LESS THAN A HALF A INCH AWAY WHEN IT COME CLOSE TO THE RECEIVER IT WILL WORK JUST FINE, I TOOK IT FOR A 17 MILE BIKE TRIAL AND IT NEVER SKIPPED A BEAT.
