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: works.. but horrible display
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
If all you do is ride mid-day this thing will work fine.
But if you ever wear polarized sunglasses or ride any time dear dusk or dawn, the horribly cheap polarization on the LCD display will make this thing unreadable.
Customer Review: does not last long
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
the computer started to malfuction after 4 months. it just keeps resetting, even after i changed the battery.Customer Review: Blacks out in hot weather
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I used one of these computers for a couple of years and although it worked fine most of the time, the real problem was in summer heat, where the entire display screen would turn black so I couldn't read anything. I first discovered this while on an 1,800 mile tour in Central America, where every day was near 100 degrees. It was almost useless on that trip, except in the mornings before it got too hot out. Later, I started experiencing the same problem others have reported of the contacts not making a connection. At first that would only happen when it rained, but later it did it even when dry out. I would avoid this one, unless maybe you just want to use it on a stationary bike indoors.Customer Review: Does not work, but I know why.

I bought the schwinn 12 function speedometer at Wal Mart. I set up the computer and installed it on the bike,I tried it out, it did not work. Thinking I mounted the sensor wrong I made some adjustments,it still wouldn't work. Long story made short, I pushed down on the schwinn emblem on the computer and it worked. The contact points on the holder and computer are not making a good connection. It works good if you want to keep pushing on it, stops working when you let off. I would not recommend this item.Customer Review: Doesn't work out of the box

I only give it 1/5 b/c there isn't an option for 0 stars. After proper set-up and installation, the unit doesn't show any type of measurements. I'm not sure what's the problem, maybe it's the sensors that are bad. But even with the cheap price you would expect it to work at least ONCE! I guess it's a hit or miss when you dealing with low-end accessories like this one. Spend a couple extra bucks and get yourself something that will last you longer than 0 minutes.
