Amazon.com Product Description
Turn your Suunto heart rate monitor into a wireless bike computer with the Suunto Universal Bike Pod. The compact unit, which combines speed and distance functions with detailed heart rate analysis, creates one of the most advanced cycling- specific training tools available, making sessions in the saddle more fun and productive than ever before. The Universal Bike Pod easily adapts to the full range of bike forks, wheels, hubs, and axes, with a couple of cable ties that attach to the fork or spokes while keeping the Bike Pod out of harm's way from rocks, stones, and trunks.

Measurement is effortless and, when properly calibrated, also very accurate. Once paired with your Suunto T3, T4, or T6 wrist-top computer, the Universal Bike Pod also displays the distance from the start and the lap distance, while also storing lap times automatically according to the distance set by the user. Other details include too-fast and too-slow alarms, a distance-based interval training function, a water-resistant housing, and a user- replaceable battery.

The lightweight Universal Bike Pod offers a transmission range of up to 10 feet and is backed by a two-year warranty.

1 out of 5 stars 3 months and still not working   April 2, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this product in January but did not try to use it right away. I waited until I bought a new bike then began my unsuccessful attempts to use this product. If you buy this product, be aware it is tricky to pair. I followed the instructions, but never saw the "paired" message that indicated it was successful. After several attempts to contact their "24hr" service phone (which is NOT open after 5pm EST Friday until Monday), I talked to someone there who told me it was seemingly paired because I was able to get the Speed/Distance mode on my T3 to display. I thought Great! but when I went to try to test it out, it does not actually read any speed/distance data. So it was back to the phones (after waiting *another* weekend). This time it there were no answers and I was told I had to go online and create a service request (and register the product for warranty). So I am attempting to do so, but the product warranty registration requires a serial number which is not labeled on the product (though I have tried some 20 odd combinations of the numbers/letters that are printed on the POD, all unsuccessfully). So I am going to have to try to call again. I won't even mention the "ask a question" I filled out some 3 weeks ago on their website which has not been responded to. I'll update this review if I *ever* get a working product.


5 out of 5 stars Suunto Universal Bike Pod wireless Transmitter   March 8, 2007

The Suunto bike pod is easy to install in a few minutes, and worked, as advertised, paired with the Suunto T3, Training Effects/Heart Rate monitor. Unlike other wireless cycling computers used in the past, the Suunto bike pod does not require micro positioning on the bike and continues to send reliable signals to the Suunto T3, even in bad weather and over rough terrain. Although bike pod includes provisions for mounting the Suunto T3 on the handle bars, this configuration is not required for use. The Suunto T3 is a wrist-worn training effects and heart rate monitor, and works fine when worn on either the left or right wrist, receiving wireless signals from the bike pod as well as the Suunto heart rate transmitter worn around the chest.


4 out of 5 stars it works and is flexible for various bikes   February 13, 2007

The main advantage of this over other units that work with Suunto is that this is the only one that will actually work with all bicycles because it simply zip ties to the front fork. The other two units that work with Suunto are more elegant but do not work with all bike set ups.

The only concern is that the plastic looks brittle, but I have it on a mountain bike and have not had a problem with durability yet.
