Topeak Panoram V10C Wireless Cycle Computer

I bought this on a whim because I liked it's mounting style and how it separated the field with different colors. But little did I know how little cadence meant to me. It's such a trivial peice of information, especially in a mtb application. And that's really why it's so expensive, because of it's wireless cadence sensor. Silly me. Also, and this blows my mind, it does NOT have a back light. I thought that functionality would be standard these days but not this one. Even the super cheap schwinn one has that function.Anyway, if you're a road biker maybe this will be better for suited for you. One piece of advice though, I choose the predefined tire setting for my hybrid 700c32 and the speedo still noticeably off (like saying I'm going 18mph when I'm actually going closer to 17mph). Make sure you do the actual manual method of measuring your tire size instead.

One word: disappointed. 2 major issues.Issue 1. Somewhat normal is how sensitive the sensor setup can be on these devices, however, once I got the sensor lined up the range was terrible. The manual states 39 inches but I could barely get half of that. This is with changing the battery to new ones in case the ones that came with it were low (I replaced both sensor and head unit). Very frustrating. Unable to use it.Issue 2: The battery I chose to replace the head unit with was arguably used already from my stash, so I was attempting a second battery replacement on the head unit with a fresh one... then.it happened. I fumbled the head unit and it dropped on the garage floor from bike stem height and everything went blank. No pulse. Could not reset, reboot, turn on... no tricks worked. Again... very frustrating. Unable to use it completely.The only good news I have is that the 2 batteries it came with are probably usable... bonus.

The wired cadence would never work correctly, only once. It would not stay tightened and eventually loosened up on a ride and was ripped off by the wheel. The computer otherwise works fine.

The main computer is wired. Seemed falsely advertised as it states Wireless. The computer itself feels cheap.I do like the mounting options for the main computer itself.The cadence portion is worthless. I installed exactly as described, keeping it within distance and angles specified andit still does not work. So I paid extra to basically have a wired basic computer. If the cadence portion worked I would havebeen a bit more pleased. I will probably finish out my riding season with this one and then just toss it at the end of the yearand purchase a better quality product. Very disappointed.
