Cool toy, but utterly inaccurate.
1 of 1 found this helpful If you're looking for a mechanical speedometer for your bicycle, you really don't have many choices: this model is one of the only ones you'll find. The good news is that it's very inexpensive, and it looks great. For around $15 or so, you get everything you need: the head unit, the speedometer cable, and the drive gear. The drive gear can only be mounted on one side of the bike, so you may be limited in terms of placement on your handlebars, but I found the cable long enough to mount on my 26" classic cruiser bike. The drive gear is also plastic and makes me dubious about long term reliability.
The speedo looks good, and the movement is smooth and quiet. However, it is terribly inaccurate. Part of that may be that it is marketed as appropriate for both 24" and 26" bikes, which of course means that it's going to be wrong on both of them. For whatever reason, however, comparing the indicated speed against a GPS app on my phone, I found that the indicator always showed I was going much faster than I actually was. At about 12mph real, the speedo indicated 15mph. At 15mph real, the speedo showed close to 20mph. And the odometer was off as well, reading 1.10 miles for every 1 mile actually traveled.
Since I want actual correct information most of the time, I moved this speedometer over to my secondary bike as a fun accessory just to have, and replaced it with an electronic bicycle computer on my main cruiser.
So I'd rate this as just "OKAY." If you want something cool to strap on your handlebars that's fun and looks neat, this is totally for you. If "close enough" is good enough for you in terms of miles traveled and speed achieved, go for it. But if you want accuracy, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Decent controller but SHORT CABLE LENGTH!
This controller has the right size, shape, and general feel. It seems a little lower-quality than the originals, but that's okay and it works well. The problem is that the cord is like three feet long! You **MUST** buy an extension cable (available from the same company) as a separate purchase in order to have the same length you had with your original controller! And THAT is annoying.
It should also be noted that the original controller had a safety breakaway connector in the cable that is lacking in this replacement. This is important because some extension cables (mostly those made back when the Xbox was new) connected to the breakaway. Those won't help you here!

Phenomenal when it works... but it doesn't work for long.
I was thrilled with this wireless bicycle computer when I first got it. It's easy to read, easy to set up, and easy to adjust--for instance, when the time changes or when you want to change the odometer reading after a battery change. The backlight and large numbers make it easy to read when cycling at night. Automatic start and stop is a fantastic feature: just start pedaling and the display wakes up. Of course, being wireless, installation was a breeze. And the display unit is easily removed from the handlebars so you don't have to risk theft or damage while your bike is chained up outside.
HOWEVER, after just a couple of months, it became unreliable. It would fail to wake up when the bicycle began to move. Partway through a ride, the speed would show zero and the miles would stop accumulating. The speed would sometimes fluctuate wildly. Sometimes it wouldn't work at all. Removing and replacing the battery in the sender or depressing the reset button would sometimes work, but not always. Sometimes moving the receiver close to the sender would cause the unit to start working for a short time, but not always, and not for long. I bought new batteries for the sender and the receiver. I replaced the magnet with a much stronger one. But nothing worked.
Ultimately, I have to conclude that there is a communication problem: either the receiver's antenna isn't doing its job, or the transmitter isn't working reliably. But since you can't just buy a replacement transmitter, there's no way to know for sure.
So, sadly, I must recommend against the Much MB11 wireless speedometer. I want to like it, and when it works I do, but if it won't hold up for more than sixty days or so, then what's the use?
