Has anyone used this? It looks nice but the only thing I don't like about it is that it runs on a bicycle computer. Is this a good tool to use or is there better out there? I know there is but that is like in the $1200 price range.

Just wondering if anyone has used it, thanks!

Many on here have used it if you dig through the threads. Allot of us have problems with the cups breaking off but they are usually cool about sending you a replacement free of charge. Other than that they seem to work well enough. Overall I like having one.

Looks like it is disabled. I have the Inspeed and I have never had a problem.

I have it. The bicycle thing actually works perfectly. I also thought it was odd when I read that! But, it shows top speed and average speed as well as current. It seems to be accurate.

I broke a cup off mine after only 2 months or so. I'll admit, I didn't ask for a free replacement, I just ordered 2 replacements.

Mine could have broken because of turbulance coming off the airdam/basket on the roof of my Xterra. It hummed pretty loud above 75mph. I'm going to try moving it towards the back of the roof at the suggestion of another Storm Track member.

Thats all I got! Good luck...

I tried searching and the only post that pops up is my own.

I did a quick search of the word Inspeed and found 52 threads and 124 posts that talk about this anemometer.

Try using less words or being so specific with your search terms.

Not a real fan of the inspeed unit. I didnt like leaving it on the vehicle while on the way to the target and then when I did need, coditions were bad enough that I didnt want to get out of the vehicle. Also, as others have mentioned, I have had problems with the cups as well. Sold mine for a handheld unit.
