I initially bought one of these from Wal-Mart for around $14 to go with the 26" Schwinn Beach Cruiser I bought; also from Wal-Mart. I liked the color and it was very easy to program my tire size, time...etc. Later, when I switched to a 26" Pacific MTB, I reprogrammed the tire size for that bike with no probs. The numbers are large which makes it easy to read your speed. When I got my Trek road bike, which has 700x23 tires, I went ahead and got another one for that bike. The problem is there was no setting on the computer for this tire size so I will need to get a different computer for my Trek, which is too bad because I was satisfied with this little computer for the price, although when I was going down the road one day, someone gave me the speed their computer was reading which was 2mph faster than what my computer said. I had a spill last year and the computer flew off its bracket, but it survived intact with only a few scratches on the outer housing and then a few months ago it flew off my bike and landed on the pavement. The glass face received a little spider web crack but it still works. I discovered it's very important to check that the computer is well seated in the bracket prior to each ride or after a significant bump because it can work loose.
