Planet Bike Protege 9.0 Wireless 9 Function Bike Computer with 4 Line Display and Temperature – Reviews

Update: 02/24/11

We have well over 20 hours on the computers without a single hiccup. This is reliable unit so far.

After reading many reviews on this unit, I bought two, one for each each of our 2 bikes.

I installed one computer on my bike and took it for a ride. Here’s what came out:

1. I have zero experience with other bike computers so I will keep my comments strictly to this model. Is this the best thing going? I have no idea.
2. The unit installed in about 15 minutes and worked perfectly.
3. I saw other reviews that reported the unit was “jammed” by fluorescent lights or a head light in flash mode. I tested for both and there was no ill effects seen on the unit at all.

I will revisit this review when I have more time on it. But right now I have nothing but positives to report. The computer delivered exactly what they promoted it would.

I have used this maybe 4 times and 50 miles. It has accurate speed and distance readings. I haven’t had any problems with the temperature in direct sunlight like other reviewers. You have to turn it on yourself when you start, but it will automatically come back on after a 15 minute break.

Update as of June 9, 2010: It is still working perfectly after 3 years. It now has over 500 miles on it and I have never changed the battery on the actual unit or the wireless sensor on my wheel. Recommended to both casual and serious bike riders.

Over the years I’ve had 4 or 5 different bike computers. This one is clearly my favorite. Why? I like having all data visable without having to push any buttons, and the addition of temperature as well is great. At the beginning of a ride I reset the trip data and don’t touch a button thereafter. The temp seems accurate while riding. Unit feels well built and rugged.

Actually I installed it in about 10 minutes, just a screw driver, and thats it. It has good instruction book. The wireless system work great, you have all the information in one look down, distance and speed are my favorite. Its great to have a schedule of training with this. Its worth the price, and much better than cateyes that have 2 or 3 lines of information. maybe a function to turn it off will be better (it stay with the clock on) the battery its supposed to last for 6 months, but still a great product to buy.
