Mio Cyclo 105 HR Cycle GPS Computer - Black

So far so good. I have had it for 6 days(Bought from Halfords including Cadence & HR for £100) works well. Had a little trouble fitting Cadence sensor as my new Bike Dahon Vitesse D8 Folder has large gap between sensor mounting point and magnet on pedal, but I used a little creativity to bridge the gap so now it works as intended. The site for uploading data is a bit ropey, but for the price I am well impressed so far. As the sensors are Amp+ I can simultaneously monitor the incoming data from my Xperia Ultra phone.

I've been using the 105 for a year now,I can only praise the device it's great for the price works really well,the web site is much better now than a year ago but it's still takes a few goes to upload your workouts,all I can say is persevere and you'll soon get the hang of it.on a negative note,not very sturdy I've taken a few tumbles on my bikes and each time the screen has diminished,three drops and its finished which gets a bit expensive,would be better with a rubber casing which may absorb the shocks.

Don't buy this!! Mio clearly need to go back to the drawing board. Problems are as follows....1. The GPS signal can rarely be found therefore not recording up to date speed,2. THe Heart rate monitor does not give a reading on the Computer, thus not giving any heart rate.3. The data from my rides is stored on the device but does not upload to the Mio software or website, therefore no data on rides as the computer does not have the ability to show anything other than the date and time of recording,4. The time resets itself every time it is powered off. Therefore not giving you the current time, only the time of the current trip.I have wasted countless hours, and feel robbed at paying 69.99 for this piece of equipment. which was purchased to record, speed, trip data and heart rate.

I'm a keen cyclist and having used and possessed GPS devices from Garmin and Bryton - I was keen to try-out the Mio Cyclo 105. Its pitched at about the same level as the Garmin Edge 500 which is almost the de facto device to which all other low-to-mid priced GPS devices are compared against.Let me start with the price. The Mio 105 can be found fairly well discounted. A Garmin Edge 500 level device at half the price of a Garmin Edge 500 can't be a bad thing - can it?The Mio comes with a single cycle mount. Two mounting pads with a deep cup and shallower cup for different profile bars or stem. A single plastic mount which is fastened using the two zip ties. Once mounted - it is very sturdy. The GPS device clicks into position and uses a solid turn to lock securely into place. The Garmin ones, I have found to be a little more loose than I would like - but at least secure. Additional mounts (if you have other bikes) are about £14.Turn on the device and it takes you through the set-up sequence which is all quite straightforward - although the up/down selection does take a bit of getting used to.What is great is the internal software on the device. Its very intuitive and I could find my way around the device to configure it very quickly and easily. The start-up time is very quick. And signal acquisition is also very quick. Far quicker than my Bryton 50 or Garmin Forerunner 305.The Mio 105 is ANT+ compliant which means I am able to pair this up with all my other devices. Heart rate monitor, speed/cadence sensor and the Cycleops Powertap (Power meter).Yes, this device is power meter compliant. But just what it gives you with a power meter - is/was a bit of a mystery prior to getting my hands on the device because the literature on the web is so poor.- current power- max power- average power- power zonesThere you go! Its not that hard is it? (pay attention Mio).OK. My favourites 3s power and 30s power are missing! When you train these are probably the two most important.Your current power is OK to train with but tends to fluctuate and spike. I hope these two measurements arrive in some form of future software update.Next. I train a fair bit on the turbo trainer - so I configure the device to turn off GPS and detect all my ANT+ accessories - which it does so brilliantly.The display is good. It allows various pages to be displayed all configured with upto 6 fields. This is great stuff. So you can have these pages saved for days when you don't train with the power meter or say no HRM or speed/cadence.I recorded a 1hr session on the turbo and then connected the device to the PC.Its not obvious - but you can only access the device through your PC's browser at the manufacturer's website (MioShare).What is more confusing - you need to download the device driver from the site. And if you are using a Google Chrome browser (as I am) it is not obvious at all - how you log into the site or download the software.Switch to an Internet Explorer (IE) browser and it becomes more obvious as the relevant links and prompts appear on the website to get you to download the driver and to log in (create an account). I have also used the site in Firefox with success - but for uploading - you must use IE. Logging into the site is a slow affair and you are not able to save your login credentials to make subsequent logins that bit faster.When you create an account - it weirdly doesn't ask you to create the account and password together. Instead the password is emailed to you. Afterwards you can use this password to change your password.Once account created, driver installed, IE opened and MioShare website entered - the device was detected and automatically began to synchronise.However, if you have no location data in your file (indoor turbo training) then the file will NOT synchronize. And there is no way to get to the GPX file.I have also read - Power data is not transferred to MioShare too.Ironically, the dashboard on the site allows you to filter your activities by type: City Bike, Race Bike, Running, Mountain Bike .... and wait for it .... Indoor Training (bike).Without being able to transfer indoor GPX files and (possibly) the lack of power data - it's becoming about as much use as a chocolate teapot (if you have a power meter)!Right now - I am finding the MioShare website - very disappointing and the website integration with the device itself another big disappointment.It takes about 5 mins to upload a single ride (50km). The detecting and connecting is fine - it's what happens afterwards. The numbers displaying mileage, calories, altitude all start spinning away as it synchronizes and it looks all rather pretty. However, this soon loses its appeal because it takes a long time to upload a ride. What the software is doing in this time - I do not know. Is it aesthetic or is there some purpose to this? Not sure.Bottomline is the hardware is really rather good - but the software not so good. If you're not going to spend a lot of time on the MioShare website and are happy to export your files to wherever than this is a realistic proposition. Especially, given the prices I have seen the unit for sale at.

I've had this device for close to two years now, and all in all I wish I'd paid a little more and bought a Garmin.Synchronising data from this device to the online system (to view you training history etc) is a constant frustration. The mac desktop software is buggy, and despite occasional software updates, VERY RARELY works properly. I'd say that in my experience, it is close being mis sold. My strong recommendation would be to avoid this device.
