    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Bike Computer With Thermometer!, August 24, 2007
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    I kick away my brand new CatEye only for this item! Actually, I wanted to see all, my speed, time, distance, ride time all in one screen without switching and loosing concentration. Another reason was the 'Temperature' was the major factor. The Temperature is accurate (I checked with my Atomic Clock Thermometer), no issue in there.

    The entire ride info (Distance, Average Spd, Max Spd) all remains stored until I hold the switch for 3 sec to reset. Someone wrote 15 minutes, it is wrong. The info stays until I reset. It is only switches to `power save' clock mode. Press the button to see your previous info.

    The actual model is Black. Go to PlanetBike web site. Then Products-> Computers to see the actual item. The Amazon picture is wrong (I requested Amazon to update).

    The only thing I dislike is the switch. It should have a real push button switch. The switch it has is fake, just to slide the computer over its holder to change the mode. I gave my rating 4... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bike Computer, August 27, 2007

    This is a great bike computer. I have not seen a better one for the money. It is easy to install and program. I love not having to deal with wires. The display is easy to read and shows lots of data on a single screen (display shows current speed, trip time, trip distance, and a selectable 4th line (temperature and time OR avg speed and max speed OR odometer)). The operation of the display is simple as well (you cycle through the 3 options for the 4th data line by pushing a single button). Things I can't comment on because I've only used it for 2 weeks: battery life, durability (but so far so good).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Cyclocomputer, October 14, 2007
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    I've been using the Protege 9.0 Wireless for most of this season. The wireless link has worked flawlessly even with the transmitter mounted low on the fork. Since most of the information is on the 4 line display and there's only one button the product is very easy to use. You can calibrate the wheel size(s) to the exact diameter of your tire(s) for accurate speed and distance readings. This unit has a handlebar mount, not a stem mount. People have noted the temperature can be off. I do believe that in direct sunlight the black case heats up a bit and reads higher than the actual air temperature.
