Strengths: Plenty of functions. Strong Wire. Good wheel sensor, easy to fit and maintain.
Weaknesses: Flawed mounting bracket. Fiddly to get clock function up. Wheel has preset sizes so you choose what you want (e.g. 26", 700c, etc). Some people won't see this as a problem but tourers and audax riders like to have precise wheel circumference.
Overall: This is a good computer with one major failing, the bracket doesn't hold the actual computer in place firmly enough. I use it on my commuter/tourer so it's not like i'm rattling down a rocky slope however it has still popped off three times and bounced on the road behind me. For this reason i've marked it poor on performance but in it's favour it must be robust as it has survived these drops with hardly a scratch. So far i've covered 3000km and am happy with it but i wouldn't buy another if it had the same mounting bracket.
Strengths: Super powerful, reliable, easy to maintain.
Weaknesses: Performance-wise, nothing. Aesthetically, squeals like a pig
Overall: I had to make a choice between these or something more XC based, i plumped for more stopping power and thought i had made the wrong choice.
That was until i found myself on a scottish hillside in freezing conditions, driving snow and steep as hell descents. My Enduros kept going while my mates discs faded. I'll never doubt them again.
Strengths: Pullout maps. Doesn't feed you the pointless s**t MB*K does (what wacky-zany antics are those crazy guys up to this month?). Riding in foreign places.
Weaknesses: Articles lacking depth especially on bigger rides. Too much time spent on bike reviews each month. Need to spend more time activelly destroying components.
Overall: A generic MTB mag which is better than MB*K. A lot have people have panned this mag for its exotic location stuff but i find all those sunny places make me want to visit, so stop whinging and start saving for that holiday. Plenty of XC based stuff but offers something for the DH's & BSX people (occasionally).
