User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star locks up and stops registering
If you stop to talk to friends this bike computer will lock up and get in a state that no longer registers speed. The only way to reset it is to take it out of the mount and put it back in, not very safe when you’re trying to ride along. The rubber band mounts did not fill me with confidence and I came back to my garage one day to find the sensor on the ground. good job that didn’t happen on a ride. The provided bands are not big enough to go around mtb suspension forks. Try a VDO MC1.0 Wired Cycle Computer instead it’s much better (but no Heart Rate Monitor).
3 Stars Filling in the blanks from prior reviews
I’ve had this unit for 6 months. It pretty much works as advertised, but-battery life and magnet strength in Xmitter is questionable. The sender has to be about 1-2 mm from the battery. That’s a pretty tight fit, esp with carbon front forks. As the battery on the sender weakens, there’s no real communication from it to tell what the problem is (I got a “Too Many Signals” error). On the computer unit, Temperature gauge isn’t accurate, reads way too high, and there doesn’t seem to be any way to calibrate it. The manual is thorough and detailed, but somehow confusing (What can I say? It’s written by English speakers, not English thinkers)
On the positive side, The readout is very clear; you can do individual parameter resets, the rubber bands (o-rings really) are pretty tough, I haven’t broken one yet, and it has a dual mount, stem or handlebar, which was very important for me, as I put safety brakes on my handle bar, which ate up real estate. At 120 bucks, it’s pricey, but at 83? IMO that’s getting into bargain territory for the feature set.
1 Star The sigma bicycle computer is a REAL PICE OF JUNK
I used this imitation of bicycle computer for a little more than a month with terrible results it just never work, I really do not have words to describe this nusty mistake I made buying it. I finally replace it with a real computer that cost me about $25.00 dollars a cateye by the way this nusty product (the sigma) cost me $120.00 dollars sorry I do no give it not even a star. it end at trash can.
1 Star JUNK!
The other reviews are pretty much true, one obviously works for Sigma. This ‘Computer’ is junk. Just to add, I’ve used this for 3 months. I wanted it for its heart rate monitor and altimeter readings. The HRM that you strap on has the battery compartment opening against the skin, so when you sweat it stops working and has to be dried out- so half way through my ride I get no heart readout. The altimeter just gives you the current altitude, it doesn’t tell you what your degree of climb is! Why not- it has the information in the ‘computer’ but can’t calculate the degree of the hill I’m on? Don’t waste your money, I won’t get burned by Sigma again.
Now I’m using my Nokia E66 handy with GPS, at least I can upload my ride and review my stats online.
1 Star waste of time and money
terrible instructions and a bad install setup – do you really want to be driving a set screw into your spoke? then i never could get the transmitter and head unit to sync. the main brands are so much easier to get working why bother?
