1. I agree with a previous comment regarding the awful instructions. I purchased my Bontrager bike computer three years ago and eventually left it inside a cupboard due to annoyance and severe frustration. Now that I have seen this video, I may try again (new batteries needed).
2. I had Erik's bike install my unit when I purchased it. I've always been curious how to read the darn thing. Thanks for this nice explanation. Now I need to replace the battery in the sensor and I'm not sure which is the plus or minus end of the unit.
   I agree ..the instructions are useless and I appreciate this short concise explaination. .
3. Im trying to change the battery in the actual sensor on the wheel, and the top will not unscrew. I've never changed it or messed with it before, so it appears that it was packaged with a stripped/defective screw mechanism. I cannot find just thjis part for sale, and they also do not document how to change this battery in the directions.
4. I have no idea how to install the magnet :/ It won't close, the spoke is too big
5. That is trek odometer bike 
6. The directions on the box are terrible.  I installed my poorly and now need to re-install it with new zip ties.  Of course I don't have any, so I get to make a special trip to the hardware store.  Should have watched this video first.
7. I lost my wireless. Someone know where i can find a new one or replace wireless for cable?
8. Is there any way to increase sensitivity on a trip 3? There is no location on my bike's body that brings the sensor that close to the spokes to read the magnet. The only possible workaround I've found was installing the sensor on my disk brake's brake line sheath which seems like a bad idea.
9. This answers all the questions I had when I attempted to install a Bontrager 4W. I believe those are the worst instructions of all time in my nearly 70 years of repairing and installing equipment on my bicycles, automobiles and house. Whoever approved those instructions (they're more like reminders), should be dismissed. What this video didn't answer is what to do with the leftover bits like the fine o-ring, the screw and washer. BTW, the 4W has a different display, but the set up is essentially the same.
   For anyone who goofed the first time in the basic setup, just removed the battery and wait a few seconds. Upon re-installation of the battery, the prompts for wheel size and units come back.
10. Are the instructions the same for the Trip 200?
11. Excellent video.  Concur with comments below.  My bike tipped over and threw the reader out of alignment.  I was stuck until the crucial piece of info was provided through this video (two business card width between reader and magnet)
12. This was the most helpful video ever... the Bontrager paper instructions that came with this sucked. Thanks
13. Bontrager should just throw out all their instructions and just give a link to this video.  Never once did they say how close sensor needs to be near the computer. Or much else for that matter. Nice little computer but SUCKY directions. I won't be buying anything else from them.
14. Thanks a million. You saved me a trip to the bike shop. The instructions say nothing about distance of the sensor to the computer. I've had other computers but they could be mounted much further down the fork. ^ ^
15. Hey guys:) i am considering buying this computer, and would like to know if you can recommend it?:)
16. Nice Video ... what battery type does the sensor has ?
17. I doesn't matter far or how fast the sensor travels in a revolution (and yes, despite what the TREK guy answered, the sensor will travel farther and faster if placed at the tyre than it will placed at the hub), it's just counting revolutions and multiplying that by the figure you entered for the distance your wheel travels per revolution.
18. I foolishly opened the sensor battery holder and the battery shot out. Which way round should the battery be installed? great video, by the way; the instructions in the box are not very clear.
19. can you use this computer on two bikes
20. How the hell did I ever get stuff to work before YouTube?
