        This bike computer installs easily and it has lots of on-screen information in a large, legible font. It's operation to re-set trip mileage, average speed and the like is simple and quick. I ride a recumbent and Planet Bike sells an extra-long wire setup for tandems and recumbents. [...]

          Comments about Planet Bike Protege 9.0 Bike Computer:

          There's nothing fancy about this computer, but it does exactly what it says it'll do, and seems to stand up to wear and tear. I ride to work every day, rain or shine, and I've not had a problem with the Protege. I've dropped it on the pavement a couple of times; no damage.

          The speed sensor that attaches to your fork could stand to be a bit more sensitive -- I had a bit of trouble getting it to detect the magnet -- but once you get it set up, the thing just works.

            Comments about Planet Bike Protege 9.0 Bike Computer:

            This computer is a little GEM. My wife and I ride three times a week, and wanted to be able to check our distance and time on the bike. This baby does that and more.
            It was easy to install, about 10-15 minutes and we were on our way. The screen is easy to read even with polarized sunglasses on, and to reset or switch modes is a snap.
            The only thing missing on this computer is a cadence feature, which would round out this computer nicely.
            Overall this is a GREAT little computer for the price, and very easy to install and operate.

            Comments about Planet Bike Protege 9.0 Bike Computer:

            My bike is my car, which means I use my bike every day. I positively love the main screen on this computer it's easy to read and tells me everything I want to know all at once: Temperature, Speed, Distance Traveled, Time Traveled, and Time of day. My only complaint and it's a significant one is that the computer if not wrapped inside my gloves when not in use will erase my odometer and forget the time. I mean even if I leave it in my pocket and walk around. I literally have to put it in one glove and then wrap that glove inside the other! I don't regret my purchase, this is a deal for [$], but I sincerely hope their engineers fix this going forward.

            Comments about Planet Bike Protege 9.0 Bike Computer:

            As the other reviewers have already mentioned, this bike computer lacks a cadence sensor. I also found the magnetic sensor to be very tight on the tolerance - it has to be within 1mm of the sensor to register. The entire design around the magnet and sensor is pretty poor, takes some tinkering to get right - not like the Sigma or Cateye ones.

            The rest of it is pretty awesome. Great display, shows everything you want and need, easy to navigate menu, easy to set up, easy to use. Really, the only trouble is getting it working in the first place. After that - smooth sailing.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              I bought this bike computer because my wireless computer malfunctioned daily when I rode past CB antennas and power lines. This wired computer is much more accurate and reliable. I've had no malfunctions. The display is easy to read. Pushing the computer forward to change displays has been very reliabe and easy to use. I haven't discovered anything I dislike yet.
