Get up to, ahem, speed with the next generation of computers. Bontrager's Node 1.1 Digital Computer lets you train smarter with speed and distance on one easy-to-read screen, and can expand to include cadence and heart rate as well. Additional features include auto start, 20 minute time-out sensors and a settable interval timer. Node computers can receive data from 3rd party power devices that are ANT+ compatible like SRM cranks and PowerTap hubs, too.
I use, or try to use it, in my road bike, a madone 5.2 .
I regret buying this device. It does not get started at least 20% of the time. The HR detector never worked even though I am using a Garmin ANT+ HR monitor.
I agree with the other reviewer that this device should be recalled.

Extremely difficult to figure out how to use, and this is coming from a gadget guy. Doesnt have a charger. Very hard to pop in/out of the mount. Didn't have the right size hex wrench for the Speed Trap sensor (need a really small one...they should've included). Lousy product that I returned.

I'm already using a Garm fr60 and Sony Ericsson phone with ant+ but was looking for something on my steering wheel for easy reading while my phone takes gps info without using it's screen so it doesn't depleeds battery. So far it's just what I needed.

Unreliable, buttons don't always work and the read-out is often inaccurate. Trek will need to recall all of these and the Node 2.1 (I tried them both). Funny my Node 1.0 worked great for about 2 years.

Works with Garmin sensor
Comments:
Takes up to a minute to load, and wheel must be spinning so it can locate the sensor. After a cafe stop you need to spin the wheel again to have it restart, and this makes you look like a fool, plus I just want ride, Cateyes start up immediatly.
It also sometimes shuts down for no apparent reason, and you have to repeat the start up proceedure. I would not buy another, I purchased it because it works from my Garmin sensor, but would rather settle for a wired Cateye than go through the hassel of getting this to start up on each ride.
