4 Stars Sometimes a little too much info
by a member from Pleasant Hill Ca on Nov 4, 2010
  I have enjoyed using my inclinometer, although in a recent trip through the Sierra Nevada's in California, towards the end of an 8 hour day, which was spent climbing 8-10 degree grades all day, I thought if I had another reading of 10 degrees I would go crazy. The inclinometer worked well, was easy to install and easy to read. I think it is expensive considering that it is basically a line level. This is a splurge type purchase.

2 Stars re Sky-Mounti Inclinometer
by Bob Green from Standish, ME on Oct 6, 2010
  The mounting ring of this of the inclinometer was too small, does not fit the handlebar and is not adjustable.I had to "jury rig" a solution. The bubble is quite large and not that easy to read on the go.

2 Stars Nice, but with design problems
by a member from Puyallup, WA on Sep 9, 2010
  It is always nice to know your incline when climbing or descending. The Garmin Edge provides incline measurements, though is slow to respond and averages measurements over time, so I thought I'd try this device. This device has several problems, including... 1. It barely fit my handlebars and I was limited on the bar where I could position the altimeter 2. Accuracy depends on the handlebars being exactly straight and perpendicular to the slope. 3. The bubble in my unit only filled 3/4 of the central area between "0" and "0". Thus, it was always at least 2 degrees off in either ascending or descending when I would set the bubble in the middle. 4. When installing the inclinometer, "calibrating" to zero is a problem, since the bicycle needs to be setting on a perfectly zero incline surface with the handlebars straight ahead, and the screws need to be tightened down slowly, which slightly moves the orientation of the device on the bars. It would be better if the company installed a calibration screw to fine adjust calibration once the unit is installed.
