User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Vetta Bicycle Computer
Fairly good computer overall. Setup is tricky. Make sure you follow the instructions very carefully. To reset the maintenance timer, you need to go through the whole setup routine each time. Would not recommend to a friend.
1 Stars don’t get it wet
I already didn’t like this unit. The semi-english instructions sounded like they might be helpful if you already knew what they were trying to tell you. The lapping features were hard to use and didn’t tell me what I wanted to know (as in, how long did that last lap take?). And I had to have the sending unit replaced (thank goodness for the friendship of The Bike Shop). So I was grudgingly getting along with the thing until I rode with it in the rain. Corroded the contacts, and when I made headway getting those back, the buttons failed. Yep, this was my first bike puter. I guess I expected too much of it.
3 Stars Hard to install
Hard to install. Take it to a bike shop and let the professionals do it.
5 Stars Nice unit–good value
It works very well and has a nice feature set. Fairly easy to read during the ride, but not that easy to be riding and switching functions. Three functions are displayed at one time, and usually thats enough for me. Most of the cumulative readings and averages I can check after the ride or at lights. Make sure you use one of the two rubber adapters for the handle bars and don’t just strap it on. It will fit, but without the rubber adaptor it will slide up and down a lot. Nice color and comes with a clearish cover if you prefer. Seems to be very accurate, and was easy to install. The directions were complete and understandable. Amazon, as always, rocks.
