I am looking for real life experiences with this race bike computer. I am not looking for specs from the manual or from the website.

I am considering buying this, I don't want the GPS computers, and I am not interested in plotting the results of a ride on my PC.

I like the ANT+ compatibility.

  • Battery life, how long can you use it without changing batteries?
  • Robustness, can it handle shocks, rain, dirt, ...
  • Reliability, does it keep working or does it stall from time to time?
  • Accuracy, is it good enough?
  • User friendly? is the computer easy to manipulate during rides?

So would you buy it again or are there better alternatives?

welcome to Bicycles.SE. Please read the FAQ about how to ask questions here; your post should be in the form of a specific question that can be answered objectively, not an open-ended, forum-style question. (This question is somewhere in between the two.) Thanks for posting a question! – Neil Fein Feb 12 '11 at 19:16
Would be happy to re-open if the question is revised. – Neil Fein Feb 14 '11 at 3:51
@Neil It seems to me there are 6, very specific, questions there. To improve it you could a) just move the 1st paragraph to the end of the question; b) delete the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs; c) add a question mark to the end of the second bulleted list item. If no-one answers it might be, not because it's as unanswerable not-a-question but, because too few people use this exact make+model of computer. – ChrisW Feb 14 '11 at 20:56
@ChrisW - Feel free to give it a shot; if you can make this question less specific to a specific model of computer, that'd be great. (The author also hasn't been back to the site for two days, which contributed to my closing the question.) Also, questions that ask how to select a [thing] are much better than questions that ask if [specific thing] is good. There was a post about this kind of question on the Stack Exchange blog: Q&A is Hard, Let’s Go Shopping! – Neil Fein Feb 14 '11 at 22:07

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.
