PTI Schwinn 12 Function Computer (Colors May Vary) Reviews
| 93 of 94 people found the following review helpful  Great Features for the Price!, Verified Purchase This review is from: PTI Schwinn 12 Function Computer (Colors May Vary) (Sports) I own two of these--one of which I installed on an old exercise bicycle and the other I installed on a street bike. It operates based on a magnet mounted to a spoke and a pickup sensor on the fork. Very easy to install and mounts using four zip ties--two for the sensor and two for the computer, itself. Functions include: (1) Speedometer--configurable as MPH or KM/hr, (2) Tripmeter / Distance, (3) Odometer, (4) Trip timer, (5) Maximum speed, (6) Digital clock--configurable as 12 or 24 hour, (7) Average speed, (8) Scan, (9) Freeze frame memory, (10) Speed comparator, (11) Speed Tendency--indicates acceleration or deceleration, and (12) Odometer reset. Overall size of computer is approximately 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" x 3/4" (not including mounting bracket). Display size is approximately 1-1/16" x 7/8".Wheel size must be entered when the unit is first power on. This is the circumference of the wheel in millimeters. A conversion table is provided in the instructions; however,...

This little computer is accurate, reliable and easy to use.The display shows your speed in large letters and has a selectable smaller readout for whatever function you choose. I wind up having it show speed and time all the time. If you're satisfied with a simple, cheap speedometer and only occasionally use the other functions, this is the one. Here are some hints that fairly eliminate most of the small complaints. 1. Install the magnet close to the wheel's hub and adjust it (twist the sensor in) so that the magnet passes as close as possible without touching. 2. Remove the computer when the bike is not in use. It has a quick release; store it inside or in your pocket and the battery will last. 3. Leaving it outside in direct sunlight may cause a dark splotch on the screen. This is normal for led displays, and goes away in a few seconds. Also see...

Set it up in 5-10 minutes max, it seemed to work fine. Gotta be patient to put the magnet as close to the sensor as possible without touching, though. That is the only "time consuming" part of the setup. The owner's manual lists a few wheel sizes and the corresponding C factor that you have to enter in the computer, and fortunately mine (26 x 2) was there, so I didn't even have to mess with measuring tape and calculator.Today I had my first ride with it, and it performed great for such an inexpensive product. I rode to the soccer field, which is exactly 5 miles from my place (as measured on Google maps and by car). Lo and behold, the little computer measured exactly 5 miles when I got there. I was impressed. It gives the current, average, and maximum speeds, odometer and trip meter, the riding time, and has a regular watch. It... Read more |

Product Description
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
