One product that interested me was the <a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/wTyMqQ\" target=\"_blank\">Raptor Bike Light and Computer<\/a>. This computer combines a bright 2 LED light with a large screen wireless bike computer. The combination light and computer means only one item mounts on the handle bar saving space.<\/p>\n<p>After I received the computer I opened the box and attached it to my mountain bike. I will do a ride test later and add that to this review.<\/p>\n<p>What I learned setting up the computer:<br \/>\n1) Two mounting attachments come with the computer<br \/>\n2) The lights are bright and cast a circle light beam<br \/>\n3) A USB cable is included but no AC power adapter<br \/>\n4) The mounting bands stretch but you may need to exert extra effort if the handle bar is larger diameter<br \/>\n5) The instruction book shows using 1 band to mount the sensor to the fork but the suspension fork on my bike was too large diameter and I used 2 bands.<br \/>\n6) Setting the computer up was easy with the included instruction book<\/p>\n<p>Specifications:<br \/>\n&#8211; Cree white LED&#8217;s<br \/>\n&#8211; Light output: 300lm<br \/>\n&#8211; Rechargeable Li-ion battery, 2600 mAh<br \/>\n&#8211; Bike light running times: 3hrs (bright), 6hrs (dim)<br \/>\n&#8211; Sensor: 2.4Ghz wireless<br \/>\n&#8211; weight 120g<br \/>\n&#8211; size: 106mm x 57mm x 35mm<\/p>\n<p>My observations:<br \/>\nThe handle bar mount using the stretch bands attached firmly and the computer did not move when I removed it but I put the end of the stretch band with the gripper tab on the front of the handle bar and this blocked the release tab.<br \/>\nThe second mount secures to the handle bar by turning a small knob that tightens the band around the handle bar. The design allows a wide range of handle bar diameters but the knob&#8217;s small size and location makes it difficult to secure it snugly to the handle bar. I could remove the computer but I felt the mount shift a little.<br \/>\nI mentioned above the sensor attachment on the front fork took 2 bands rather than one as shown in the manual. The fork on my Motobecane 700HT MTB was too big and I used 2 of the included large bands. Next I needed to position the sensor close enough to the magnet attached to the spoke. Moving the sensor closer to the spoke meant I needed to slide the sensor but the extra tension from the bands and the soft pad on the sensor held the sensor in place. After a couple of adjustments I got the sensor close enough to the magnet. I could now see the speed registering on the computer when I spun the front wheel.<br \/>\nThe computer is setup and waiting for my next ride. I will compare it with my Garmin Edge 520 for trip accuracy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"linkscent-iconblock\" style=\"padding: 0px ! important; margin: 0px ! important; float: none ! important; border: 0px solid #ff0000 ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll center center ! important; width: auto ! important; height: auto ! important; display: block ! important; overflow: visible ! important; position: static ! important; text-indent: 0px ! important; z-index: auto ! important; max-width: none ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; max-height: none ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; left: auto ! important; top: auto ! important; bottom: auto ! important; right: auto ! important; line-height: 16px ! important; white-space: nowrap ! important;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"linkscent-icon\" style=\"padding: 0px ! important; margin: 0px; float: none ! important; border: 0px solid #ff0000 ! important; width: 16px ! important; height: 16px ! important; display: none; overflow: visible ! important; position: absolute ! important; text-indent: 0px ! important; z-index: 2147483635 ! important; max-width: none ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; max-height: none ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; left: 1180px; top: 698px; bottom: auto ! important; right: auto ! important; line-height: 16px ! important; white-space: nowrap ! important; visibility: visible; background: transparent url('http:\/\/www.gearbest.com\/favicon.ico') no-repeat scroll center center ! important;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/interclue\/content\/cluecore\/skins\/default\/pixel.gif?w=1200\" alt=\"\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"linkscent-icon\" style=\"padding: 0px ! important; margin: 0px; float: none ! important; border: 0px solid #ff0000 ! important; background: transparent url('chrome:\/\/interclue\/content\/cluecore\/skins\/default\/sprites.png') no-repeat scroll -112px -80px; width: 16px ! important; height: 16px ! important; display: none; overflow: visible ! important; position: absolute ! important; text-indent: 0px ! important; z-index: 2147483635 ! important; max-width: none ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; max-height: none ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; left: 1198px; top: 698px; bottom: auto ! important; right: auto ! important; line-height: 16px ! important; white-space: nowrap ! important; visibility: visible;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/interclue\/content\/cluecore\/skins\/default\/pixel.gif?resize=16%2C16\" alt=\"\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"linkscent-icon\" style=\"padding: 0px ! important; margin: 0px; float: none ! important; border: 0px solid #ff0000 ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll center center; width: 16px ! important; height: 16px ! important; display: none; overflow: visible ! important; position: absolute ! important; text-indent: 0px ! important; z-index: 2147483635 ! important; max-width: none ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; max-height: none ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; left: 1216px; top: 698px; bottom: auto ! important; right: auto ! important; line-height: 16px ! important; white-space: nowrap ! important; visibility: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/interclue\/content\/cluecore\/skins\/default\/pixel.gif?w=1200\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p><object style=\"padding: 0px ! important; margin: 0px ! important; float: none ! important; border: 0px solid #ff0000 ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll center center ! important; width: 0px ! important; height: 0px ! important; display: block ! important; overflow: visible ! important; position: absolute ! important; text-indent: 0px ! important; z-index: auto ! important; max-width: none ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; max-height: none ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; left: 0px ! important; top: 0px ! important; bottom: auto ! important; right: auto ! important; line-height: 16px ! important; white-space: nowrap ! important; visibility: hidden ! important;\"><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GearBest: Online Shopping &#8211; Best Gear at Best Prices contacted me to review some products.
