1 out of 5 stars Very poor after sale/accessory support   October 3, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I got a Neuro 4 intending to use it on 2 bikes since it's advertised with 2 bike settings. The fly in the ointment? It's difficult to find a second speed/cadence transmitter anywhere. Contacting Blackburn customer service yields no help in locating one what so ever. The "product manager" says a kit is available but you can't buy one. Speaking with online retailers I found out (after the fact) Blackburn is somewhat notorious for not providing accessory kits for their computers.
I eventually managed to find an online site that could get me a 2nd bike kit. They were more helpful than the Blackburn customer service reps apparently because they do quite a bit of business with Blackburn. They were given a kit part number and told that the 2nd bike kit would include the following:1 handlebar bracket, 1 stem mount, 1 crank & wheels magnet and 1 speed and cadence transmitter cable.
When I received the kit there was no bar bracket or stem mount. Upon my inquiry and the online retailer's follow up it was revealed that the original information was wrong - no mounting hardware.
It's interesting to note that with the kit I received there was one, red, rubber shim for the bar mounting bracket in the 2nd bike kit. It escapes me why this was included since there was nothing to use it with, i.e. a second bar bracket. It's almost as though whoever assembled the kit I received threw in some miscellaneous parts.
It's just another strong indication to me along with the misinformation the online retailer received and the frustration I sensed from the customer service people I communicated with there is something wrong inside Blackburn Design.
Oh, yeah Blackburn missed their mid-September availability date too.
As you might imagine I won't be buying any more of their products nor would I recommend them to my friends or enemies.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent wireless cadence monitor - Great display   August 27, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I purhcased a new road bike in June and wanted a cadence monitor. Unfortunately the LBS only had wired models so I went ahead and had them install a wired Blackburn. Loved the display and features but hated the extremely long cable which they had intertwined along my left chainstay making it difficult to keep the bike clean. I searched online for the same model but wireless and found the Neuro 4.0. Excellent product. Very easy to read while riding, great connectivity - I have ridden about 700 miles so far with it and have not had any issues. Highly reccomended. Easy to install - did it myself in about 10 minutes.
