Sports reviews of Planet Bike Protege 9.0 Wireless 9-Function Bike Computer with 4-Line Display and Temperature

Customer Review: Planet Bike Wireless COmputer
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Got the Planet Bike Wireless Computer to replaced an old Cateye Wired unit. Looked at everything I could find, Cateye to Garmin. I decided that cheaper with all the functions I wanted was the best way to go for now. Wanted the Garmin, but still to many bad reviews for that amount of money. The computer was simple to install, mount the sensor on the front fork, attach the magnet on the spoke, mount the computer to handle bars and you are almost ready to go. The sensor has a rubber pad and 2 tiewraps to hold it in place. It's a street bike and not a mountain so I not concerned about using their tiewraps. The magnet is simple enough to line up, but the instruction could have been shown a better picture (I had to move it once to get the correct spot). The handle bar mounting works much like their lights, add the rubber spacers and your done. The computer adjustment for tire size, time, etc. is done with the little buttons and steel ball on the back on the unit. I did mine before putting it in the holder. Again the instructions didn't seem to clear about pressing the little steel ball, but once I figured that out it was simple. You can use it on two bikes. They say to press hard to pop it out of the mount. I didn't want to remove it, but pressed hard just see and it didn't move. So it's not going to fall out of the mount! The sensor and computer use the same battery, they say are good for 6 months or more. The computer falls into a sleep mode after nonuse. You press forward on the computer to change screens and see the additonal info. The main screen digits are good size, you get MPH, Riding Time, Trip Distance, Clock and Temp. Elite was out of stock after I ordered and had to call them to finally get an answer. They offered a Cateye unit if I didn't want to wait, but I had seen the unit and thought the Planet Bike had a better display. I was right, glad I waited, the price went up $20 after I got mine.

About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.
