Anyone know how you could install a bike computer on this? Is there anything on the market, or has anyone tried installing a bike computer on one of these to track anything?

I've seen them installed using plastic zip cables, though never done it myself. Good luck.

Hello, The installation and setup is fairly easy. Here is a link to the owners manual. You might have to copy and paste the link into your browser for it to work. http://www.ergomotion.com/documents/Ergomotion_400_Manual_Web.pdf

I love my computer on my mountain bike. But this computer would never work on my salsa mukluk fat bike because the distance from the spokes to the fork is to great. The sensor that mounts on the spoke and fork must be very close like about a 1/8" in order for the senors to pick each other up.

Amy, That's not one of the "things" you can monitor and keep track of. I had a quick search but I'm not seeing any devices that will do this. Doesn't mean one does not exist, just I could not find it. Nigel.

After reading the previous answer I feel like I have to add that I love it! I broke my first one and bought a second! I find it easy to use. The info downloads easily to my computer and I can easily look at my rides and can compare similar rides. I have 2 bikes and each has the bases and other equipment in place. I simply put the head unit on turn it on and take off for a ride. I recently bought a mountain bike and I am looking to get a rox 9.1 or a 10 for it as well. Would I recommend this to friend: you bet I would!

The sensors aren't paired to the computer or the bike. You have to chose "Bike2" on the computer. When you do this it uses a different wheel diameter for distance and speed. I'm not sure if it will even track a different odometer for each bike. I don't think it will.

didn't you get them with the bike?there is a white piece of paper with the instructions on it.if you want,I can write them down for you.first you have to put in a 9 volt battery in the little door.the monitor will turn on when the wheel is in motion.or by pressing the button.if there is no signal for 4 min.,the power will turn off automatically.the monitor will keep the values of Time,Distance,Calories,Odometer,andPulse until the values have been cleared or reset.**if you press any key for 2 seconds,all the values will reset to zero,except Odometer Auto scan./reset. Everytime i go on the bike i press the button down,it will first read 5-8's across the board,then turn to 5-0's.keep both your hands around the handle bars on the piece of metal on each bar.if you don't your pulse won't show.i hope I helped you and didn't confuse you instead.it would be easier to show you. To get the instructions,i don't know.i wish I could send you a copy.it is really not difficult.you can contact me again if you need to.

We were lucky. Amazon replaced the unit even when ProForm would not. The new unit works great. We researched bikes for months and could not find anything that matched the ProForm. The other possibility was the CycleOps. It looks high quality, but it doesn't have the Google Map compatibility.

There is a different device offered for $199 which is a large wheel. It attaches to one side of the rear wheel of your bike. It turns it into a tricycle of sorts. I think this would suit your needs better. Check for handicapped bike attachments. This wheel will be morecle,

I put a speed sensor on the back wheel last winter for time on the trainer. It worked well! I have not tried it on the road so I can not speak to that. The heart monitor would read 0 on occasion if I sat up straight for too long.

I have not seen a Schwinn Airdyne bike but by the name I guess it sounds like a stationary exercise bike. I am not sure if it can be used as a replacement computer console but let's analyse the possibilities. This bike computer uses 2 simple devices to activate. One piece of magnet to be fixed on the spokes of the wheel and another sensor to be placed on the fork. the distance between the magnet and sensor should be within 3 to 4 mm. A wire from the sensor will link it to the reader supposed to be attached to the handle bar. I have tried fixing it on a Strida Bike which does not have wire like spokes but flat broad instead. I have to improvise a little by drill a hole through the flat blade and attached the magnet with a screw and some epoxy glue. It's simple and wont take you more than 10 minutes job. If u find the distance between the magnet and sensor too far apart outside the readable range, simply insert some rubber studs below the sensor to raise the level before fastening it with the cable ties provided. I hope this helps.

i use it when i ride my bike. but like Sean Palmeter answered, it will not track your info right it helps but not accurate. i would reccomend going on polarusa.com and look at the products for cycling. i hope i helped you.

I set mine one time and never had to bother after that. When it worked it worked well. Sadly it has never worked for more than a few months for me. The GPS dies. I've ended up using it as a overpriced bike computer just using the ANT+ sensors.

Has anyone used this device on an Adventure Cycling cross country tour? And how useful are the AC way point info. Tnx, Jack

Yes it is. It's pretty simple to set up on the bike, just figure out placement and use the supplied zip ties to mount it. You hold down the left button to clear the current data and use the right button to flip through the different options. While riding I like to see my speed and distance, your speed is the large Zero in the picture. The bottom row of numbers switch between distance and time. I'm sure there are other options but I honestly didn't even pull out the instructions. Just mounted it and started riding :-)
