Schwinn 17 Function Bike Computer – Reviews

First, let me say that I love my new bike computer. For only $[...], it’s definitely worth that price.

Second, I hope to shed some light on this computer. First, the same computer seems to be marketed in different forms by other manufacturers.

It seems to be very similar to the Raleigh 16 function ARC005 Cordless Computer (although this one isn’t cordless; I can also not find any on-line manual for the Raleigh ARC005, either) and the RavX TaxTix 2 Wireless 14 function bike computer.

This was hitting the jackpot, because it has an on-line manual at [...]

In it it explains the Schwinn’s mysterious undocumented ‘Maintenance Program’ function.

In its manual it says, “Maintenance Program – Maintenance Program notifies you to replace parts or lubricate the chain after the preset distance is reached. Right after KM/Mile selection, the perset total distance of 800 km (or miles) will falsh, press RIGHT button to select between 200, 400, 600 or 800km (or miles) and press LEFT button to co

$10 you can’t get better deal from brand name. Installation takes 10-15 min for first timers. It has so many features for different purpose. You can’t go wrong unless you want to add $10 and get wireless one from Bell.

When you set this thing, its best to measure the outside circumference of your tire using a tape measure then convert this to mm for the “wheel factor”. For example Bontrager 700 x 35C tire has an outer diameter of 2197 mm.

If you try to cheat this by multiplying pi times twice the outer radius you will get an error that will very quickly accumulate even on short rides (I observed an -11% error with both the speed and distance traveled).

Once this is set, decide on km/hr or mph and fill in the rest of the setup. Afterwards, take the bike on the road for a few miles then check with Google Maps or your car’s odometer to see if your distance traveled is reasonable. That is how I was able to determine the distance error.

The calorimeter is off by -25% on average. You’re best off using the formula:

CalBurned = Hours x 60 x (-55.0969 + (0.6309 x AvgHeartRate) + (0.1988 x Weightlb x 0.45359237) + (0.2017 x Age) )/4.184

the only reason this is not getting five stars is because i need to ensure the longevity of this speedometer.

but the pertinent features of this speedometer– like speed and distance– work quite well.

Installation is easy and securing the stage to the bicycle itself is simple. Parts and such seem sturdy.

The instrument’s speeds and distances are not only accurate, but precise– computer measures thousandths of miles! An interesting feature is that the computer seems to know when you are walking beside your bicycle– when i walked beside the bike through a hallway it only registered distances in hundredths of miles instead of thousandths and didn’t register a speed in mph even though it recorded these small distances.

The thermometer works well but is slow to register accurate temps, at least in the summertime (range minimum is 32 F– pretty lousy). But this, the calorie and fat burning calculators are all frivolous features which have nothing to do with the speedometer’s cent
