Sigma BC 1606L + Cadence Computer
G'day
I am looking for a new computer for my flatbar (commuting) and was considering the Sigma BC 1606L + Cadence (probably wireless) and was interested in feedback from any users. Also interested in alternatives offering similiar specs ... particulary cadence measurement. Thanks in advance Andrew |

Sigma BC 1606L + Cadence Computer
The Sigma wireless pickup I had stopped working in a few months, and the
warranty replacement went the same way...haven't had any problem with the wired units. "Andrew Priest" wrote in message ...

But no, no problems. I did have a problem with one version which after about 6 months faded to unreadability even when given a new battery. Was replaced by PhantomCycles. The replacement is fine and I've never had that problem with other Sigmas, been using them on the motorcycle in all weathers for 4 years. Zebee |

Was thinking wireless but maybe not now. I had/still have somewhere, a wireless Cateye. Worked very well but only on the front wheel. When standing next to some cars at traffic lights my stationary speed shot up to over 100 km/h. Theo |

I have a number of the 1200's on my roadies, they're reliable (but they're wired, not wireless), they do drop out in heavy rain, but they're less prone to it than cateyes were when I used them. I haven't seen many come back as warranty jobs, but we're not selling them anymore - we're doing VDO (via Apollo) - so my exposure to them is less than it might otherwise be. |
