Pairing the pod is a little tricky. I tried using a magnet from my old speedometer, and it did not work. The problem is that you'll need to activate the pod before you can pair it to the watch (by simply turning the weel), and there is no indication whether that indeed worked. Documentation is a little brief. I choose to mount it on my rear wheel, and I mounted it upside down so the pod was closer to the magnet. I have no clue if these are the best choices, but it works now and since it is connected to the bike with tie-wraps I am not going to change it. Despite this, the setup was actually pretty quick, and it worked without problem for the few rides I did after installing it.
A "Wristop Computer Bike Adaptor" is included, this is a piece of plastic that fits around the handlebars, and you can mount the wristwatch on this piece of plastic. Simple but effective, except that this design was not made for oversized handlebars (31.8 clamp size), that are found on newer and/or higher end bikes. It still works, but it does not look pretty.
The screen of the T3 that I use gets a little crowded, and the numbers are small. You could buy a separate bike computer for less money, and have bigger numbers for easier readout. However, I like this bikepod, because there is very little stuff attached to the bike. Another advantage is that the stats are included on the wristwatch.Get more detail about Suunto Universal Bike Pod Wireless Transmitter.
