5 Stars Love, Love,Love it
I bought this several months ago for around $39. It sells at my local bike shop for $89. It works great its a little hard to put on just because on of the mounts are in the tube maybe if you have a tiny hand it would be easier. I found that if I screw the hard side in first that it was much easier, that being said it is to much trouble for me to keep switching it over to my other bike(I have several times). So I think I will get another one so I will have 2 cages and remotes. I see the price went up to $46 but I will just keep checking. Another negative is it takes up a spot for a water cage and i drink alot of water. So on some rides instead of bringing the speaker I will opt for a water bottle with a thin coozy on it. Just the water bottle it self jiggles around too much because the speaker is a little bigger around than my water bottles. Most people would not have these problems I’m just too lazy to switch the cage over between bikes. Anyway it has great sound the remote works well. And it is alwys a big hit when I do a groupd bike ride (I first saw it on a bike ride The Space Race) It works great because you dont have to worry about the earbuds and not being able to hear traffic also I couldnt stand the wire and was always worried about my ipod falling out. now its no worries because you put the ipod inside the speaker tube.
5 Stars works great
i love this. it works great, and makes a long ride more enjoyable. i’ve even used it on camping trips. the battery life is great, it even outlasted my ipod’s battery.
2 Stars Great idea, poor execution
I was sooo looking forward to this. The concept is great. Replace the water bottle holder with the Bike to Beach holder, slide in the unit, and music without headphones while biking. Terrific idea.
Unfortunately, the handlebar remote didn’t work. Thinking it was the batteries, I replaced them. Still the remote didn’t work. OK, I suppose I could just start my playlist, place my iPod in the main unit, and let it play. But. . .
Without the handlebar remote unit, there is no volume control. The main unit plays at a preset volume, and changing the volume on the iPod itself is irrelevant as the unit has a preset volume.
Two stars for poor manufacture and execution.
5 Stars Music for my bike
This is a great item that I have actually had before, but the previous one broke after a year of hard riding and dropping it a couple of times. This one works great and make riding my bike so enjoyable. I take it on all my rides from 10 to 60 miles.
3 Stars Not sure how much I’ll use this
This has much better fidelity / volume than the CyFi but it is definately something for a cruiser instead of a racer. It’s built to take abuse, but it is heavy. Would be nice if it had rechargable batteries and if it worked with the iphone instead of just the ipod.
