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: For $8, how can you go wrong?
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I bought two of these for my kids bikes, and they work fine. My only gripe is that the manual could have wheel measurements for more wheel sizes, but other than that, it's easy to install and easy to use.Customer Review: Good, basic unit

Bought this unit for my 8 year old son. Works fine. Not a lot of bells and whistles but you really don't need more than what is offered on this computer.Customer Review: Pretty good

The only thing I don't like about this bike computer is that the red outline blocking the function symbol.Customer Review: Good Economical Computer But Won't Work With All Bikes
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I initially bought one of these from Wal-Mart for around $14 to go with the 26" Schwinn Beach Cruiser I bought; also from Wal-Mart. I liked the color and it was very easy to program my tire size, time...etc. Later, when I switched to a 26" Pacific MTB, I reprogrammed the tire size for that bike with no probs. The numbers are large which makes it easy to read your speed. When I got my Trek road bike, which has 700x23 tires, I went ahead and got another one for that bike. The problem is there was no setting on the computer for this tire size so I will need to get a different computer for my Trek, which is too bad because I was satisfied with this little computer for the price, although when I was going down the road one day, someone gave me the speed their computer was reading which was 2mph faster than what my computer said. I had a spill last year and the computer flew off its bracket, but it survived intact with only a few scratches on the outer housing and then a few months ago it flew off my bike and landed on the pavement. The glass face received a little spider web crack but it still works. I discovered it's very important to check that the computer is well seated in the bracket prior to each ride or after a significant bump because it can work loose.
Customer Review: One Worked - One Didn't

I bought mine from a nearby Wal-Mart and it's worked perfectly so far. Having never installed one before, I just took my time & had some extra zip ties ready...just in case. The only tool you'll need is something to trim the ends off the zip ties when you're done. I like the "scan" mode which flips thru max speed, avg. speed, distance, total time, etc. On the down side, I bought another for my son's bike. It either had a bad sensor or a broken wire from the sensor to the unit. It never did work. I took it back for a refund. For $10 - what do you expect? You may get one that works fine - you may not.
