2000+ Mile Review! Can Amazon Bike Computers hang? COOSPO BC107

- I snagged a COOSPO BC107 Bike Computer last year along with a Heart Rate Monitor and a Cadence Pod from COOSPO. After putting over 2,000 miles in on this computer I break down what I like and what I don't. For under $100 this is a great budget computer but can you handle a few setbacks?

Good review!
Thank you!
Got one works great
Awesome, glad you're liking it!
i am using the same model kit(BC107+BK805+H6) for the last 2500kms already...
memory - make sure to sync your ride in the phone app so that you will keep your record or load to your strava... memory is auto-delete but can keep around 20+ rides (average +2hours/rides)...
i paired with magene p505 power meter and can record your ride full...
I love your reviews!!
Thanks Nate! Glad you like them!
ciao una info, come scarichi i dati su STRAVA si vede proprio la mappa del percorso fatto (come se la visualizzassi da Google Maps) o solo il totale chilometrico (in pratica una linea retta con il totale? grazie
How can I get power on the computer for a not too expensive way?
This computer can support power - all it would require is getting a power meter. That's where things get expensive. Shoot me an email and I can recommend some affordable power meters! averagejoesoutdoor@gmail.com
I'm confused with it. Got the app. Connected to device. Connected it with Strava. But it doesn't seem to be loading rides nor syncing with Strava. The map in the app uses Google but it's clearly not connected. Hitting the 'center on location' does nothing and when I zoom out its out in the Atlantic ocean near Africa.
Sorry I missed this comment. Are you still having this problem? The ole factory reset might be the move.
At a 5th or 6th of the cost of most other competitors computers, Coospo BC107 rocks only thing I see is you can not get a map up if you get lost but lets face it we all carry our phones now anyway. Bought mine in Nov 2023 when the buttons fell out of my Garmin 530 which was purchased new in Aug 2020 and Garmin said they could only give me a 20% off coupon for a new Garmin, Jokes on them, Coospo for the win
For a basic bike computer you’re spot on, it’s a Garmin killer. It does lack navigation, Strava live segments, etc… but for what you pay it is an impressive unit!
@@AverageJoesOutdoor if you get lost just use your phone, if your so far out you don't have service, shame on you for not getting a route before you go
@@mikeb9303 Exactly!
I hear a lot of people complaining about the batter stopping to take charge after several months. Is it still working for you?
I've had mine for over a year and I haven't had that problem yet.
I think the most important feature for any computer is, can the firmware be upgraded to fix the quirks?
If not I would pass on it.
You can update the computer through the Coospo Ride App so you’re good on that front!
Bro, you probably want to look for another head unit, mine just died when i tried to update its firmware. Right now I’m waiting for them to reply my email, i won’t even bother to send my unit if they told to, it’s a time consuming and it’s a cheap unit anyway
Probably a stupid question on my part, did you change the battery on the HRM? That sounds like the same behaviour I get with my HRMs (Garmin or Polar)
Yeah, I have swapped them out a few times before the problems started. I thought that might have been it but I honestly don’t think it is unfortunately.
@AverageJoesOutdoor sounds like a unit issue since you said the same happens to the cadence sensor as well. Might want to try another head or watch and see if the HRM and cadence still works or not
@@WariWahab cadence reads accurately but the way it connects to the bike is subpar and falls off. But when it is attached it is pretty accurate. I really do just think the HRM has connectivity issues.
Can the time be changed from 24-hour to 12-hour?
I have not figured out how to do this... If there is a way I don't know how.
The Computer got to 9999 miles and will not turn over to zero. How do I make it do that?
If you go the the Coospo App and go to "More"-> "Bike Computer" -> "Bike Computer Settings" -> "Total Distance" - You can then enter 0 and that will restart the ODO. Good luck!
Man, i just got back on the saddle, tried to update the firmware on my unit, it froze on 21% and then poof! my unit turned off by itself, initially i just shrugged it off but when the app said that the update has failed i pressed retry and the updater froze again at 50% and now my unit is dead, i tried plugging it in, no good! Don't mess with that shit, people! Overall, it's a good head unit when it works!
Dang, sorry to hear about that! That sucks. I guess there are probably a few lemons out there. I've heard their customer support is pretty great to work with - I hope you are able to get a replacement! Curious how long you've had yours?
@@AverageJoesOutdoor i had it for about 10 months, 2 months of that time left unused because i was sick, the odometer is at around 2000km, it’s a fantastic unit for beginner cyclist who doesn’t need navigation, it has long battery life, the app has few issues but for the price i can’t really complaint (i got it for $20) the costumer service at least answers your email tho
Have you figure out how to zero out ODO?
If you go the the Coospo App and go to "More"-> "Bike Computer" -> "Bike Computer Settings" -> "Total Distance" - You can then enter 0 and that will restart the ODO. Good luck!
@@AverageJoesOutdoor that worked, thanks!!
@@23aviatorguy you bet! Glad I could help!
