2 Stars lucky i got a good price on it
I’ve been using this computer for less than a year and one of the buttons is already falling off . The unit’s response time is slower than the old ones I had in the 90′s. I should have bought another Cateye. That one lasted me a good five years on my old GT.

1 Star Sensor did not work
Putting it on my bike was pretty easy but I couldn’t get the sensor to work. No matter how much I spun my wheel or how close I put the sensors together, the computer wouldn’t register anything.

I sent it back and got a wired computer, which works perfectly

4 Stars Simple and easy to use
I run the RT88 on 3 of my bikes, and have done for several years. I like the simplicity and low price. I have had no problems with reliability. Battery life is good. I’ve ridden centuries and large group rides in many locations in northern California and haven’t had any problems with interference. This unit has everything I need, nothing I don’t, it’s cheap, reliable and easy to use.

I use more sophisticated units such as Cateye double and Polar on the indoor trainer when I want lots of data, but for road use, I found the Vetta is ideal.

1 Star very disappointed
after 15 miles it has malfunctioned. Even with battery changes, realignment, it fails to record any speed or distance. Poor equipment.

5 Stars Solid product
This model is easy to use and pretty accurate. I bought this one to replace the same model that I had for six years but I managed to smash it up pretty good on a rock . Even after that it still worked but the screen and mounting bracket were cracked. Not that flashy but for the price you can’t beat it.

5 Stars Sigma Sport BC1106 Wired Cycle
Hi All,

I did not receive the 2nd bike kit as noted in the product info. I had forgoten about it when I received the Sigma BC1106 till it was mentioned in the survey. The Sigme 1106 works great, does what I wanted and appears accurate. I would expect the company will acknowledge this omission.

5 Stars Does everything it is supposed to…..
That’s it, you need to read the fairly straightforward manual and install it correctly, but the bang for the buck here is teriffic. The wire is unobtrusive and I guess that the “unwired” version would have two batteries; one in the sending unit that seems to me would take more power and maybe go out quicker. My guess only.

If you have a bike path with mileage markers you can tweak the unit to your bike by changing the wheel size that you input in it, making it very accurate.

I find its more fun to know your speed, distance, average speed, etc., it gives you something to shoot for on your next ride. Plus it weighs about nothing; you could wear thinner socks and make up for it.

Have fun.

5 Stars several useful enhancements for a computer with basic functions
I recently bought one of these and now plan to buy another.

One thing I did not realize when I bought this computer is that it requires no tools to install, which is a nice feature. (Only if you want to mount it on the stem instead of the handlebar do you need a small Phillips.)

The real reason I bought it was my perpetual annoyance with every other computer I ever owned that changing the battery loses ALL data, e.g., mileage totals, wheel circumference, etc. This one promises to save all of that upon battery change, and I hope it does.

The wheel circumference chart in the little manual was quite accurate for me. On my first ride it showed 22.6 miles. I then plotted the route on Google Maps and got 22.3, so all I have to do is tweak it down a tiny bit.

Display is large with good contrast, and I had no problem reading it with my polarizing sunglasses, an issue I had with other computers. Beyond that, the basic functions are the basic functions.

5 Stars Great!!! make sure you know your whell size
This is a very good product and I have found it very usefull and accurate. This is what I think of it:

1. It was very easy to install and adjust. (Note you do not have to

place the reciever any were special on the fork, since it counts the

time it takes the wheel to rotate a revolution.)

2. The features are relevant and intuitive making it easy and simple to

check different things on it while riding.

3. It looks great and on my black and gray bike, you can hardly see

it!!!

Their is on I would like to explain on this though. After reading through the instructions carefully, (it wasn’t that hard) I realized that the wheel size that you had to put in it was the circumference of the outermost part of the wheel in centimeters (it is made in Germany). Meaning that for my fat mountain tire the size was 2,073, unlike my friend who had his at 2,600 (for a 26″ tire) meaning that he was going 25% faster than he actually was. So make sure measure correctly measure it.

5 Stars Cool little bike computer, Installation can be tricky.
This was my first bike computer and I’m happy with my choice. It does everything it’s designed to do quite well. There is a little bit of a learning curve as far as navigating through its options/functions but once you get it there no issue at all.

Installation was a little more involved then I thought it would be and I am very mechanically inclined. Nothing your average DIY’r can’t handle just some interesting things to deal with like placement of the magnet and dealing with, for my install anyway, an overly long sensor wire. You have to get a little creative to keep the wire secured and out of the way of moving parts.

The first mount/sensor wire assembly that I received with the computer was faulty. After much remounting and head scratching I called the US contact for Sigma. He was very helpful and told me that while every computer is tested for operation the mount and wire assembly are not. He sent out a replacement mount/wire (at no cost) and once I swapped it out the computer worked perfectly. I don’t I think I broke the wire on the first one as I was extremely careful with the installation but just in case, be careful as it is a small wire and you have to make several turns and twists to get installed.

The manual is one of those international mutli-language picture books. I hate them but if you spend some time deciphering it before you start you can get it done. As one of the other reviewers stated, getting you tire size right is critical to the accuracy of the computer. So spend a few extra minutes here and actually measure the circumference. Using the chart in the manual will get you close but not exact.

Once installed the combination of the double sided tape and rubber ring used to mount the computer to the stem or handlebars is actually quite secure. I have no fear of it coming off in normal use. A rubber ring is also used to mount the wheel magnet sensor to the fork. No tape is used here, probably to allow easier adjusting but doesn’t feel quite as secure because of this. I’ve had no problem but now that I have it positioned properly I may add some d/s tape or a wire tie to lock it in place. The spoke magnet locks on very securely but follow the instructions closely on this part.

I really like this product and the customer service was excellent. If it was stolen or lost I would by another immediately. Have fun with it.

Finally,I know exactly the distance I am going!Plus average speed max speed and time on the bicycle. The only non accurate display is the calories burnt.I wear a HRM and my number at the end is by far bigger!So don’t rely on this a lot….Easy to mount and use just a push of only one button.I like the cateye products.They look good and they are easy to use.

5 Stars Easy to install
I had no trouble installing on my bicycle. I compared to other computers and it was right within .2

4 Stars Nice little unit
Got this for my new bike. It’s wired and a breeze to install with the included zip ties. If you’re having issues with the installation go to the cateye website, where there are better instructions than what are included. Only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is because the unit is smaller than I expected and it’s hard to read the smaller letters while you’re riding. Other than that, it works as advertised.

4 Stars cateye cc-vl810
Very nice little unit,easy to install.I would of gave it 5 stars, if not for the calorie counter being so inaccurate.Go to the website caloriesperhour.com and click on bike calories burned,the cateye is about 50 to 60 % off.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Simple and effective, but lots of wires
I purchased the Vetta RT77 as my first cyclometer. This was the most basic recommended model I could find that had cadance. Installation went well and the unit functions very nicely, though the instructions were not clear in places. Everything works and works well. When, not if, I replace this cyclometer with a better one it will be wireless as the mess of wires is a little ugly even after spending some time carefully routing and dressing them. I will walk carefully through the interface of the next cyclomter as this one is at least a little unintuitive. After a couple of weeks of use I’m still having to stop, look at the display, and think for a minute to get to the display I want when I want a change.

That said the Vetta RT77-13 is a great value and worked well for me.

4 Stars Excellent cheap cyclometer w/ cadence
The Vetta RT77 is an excellent, yet cheap cyclometer with cadence. It isn’t overly fancy, but it is sturdy and relatively easy to use. Unless you’re looking for wireless, there’ no reason to spend more.

4 Stars Great for checking cadence
I purchased this product specifically because I wanted an easy (and cheap) way to check my cadence during spin workouts.

This unit was very easy to set up using the included instructions although I did have to do a minimal amount of jury-rigging due to having a spin cycle instead of a bicycle. I appropriated a magnet from an old refrigerator magnet for the speed/distance measurement because the included magnet is not made to attach to a fly wheel. For the cadence measurement I had to create a mount for the sensor so that the magnet attached to the crank would activate it. I also used a tape measure and Google (for the math formulas) to come up with the circumference of the fly wheel to enter into the computer.

All in all it appears to be fairly accurate and I am very pleased with my purchase.

The BC 1606L provides a better overview of the essential information during a ride by hiding the total accumulated functions and cadence if not installed. The backlight gives optimal readability of this information even in the dark. An integrated storage chip prevents the loss of set values during battery change as features such trip section counter, timer, and second wheel size are programmable. Dot Matrix display – clearer display through full text indication between values. Active mode without total values – total values faded while riding to enable better focusing on the necessary functions. Backlight – optimal readability even after nightfall.

4 Stars REAL NICE!
i did some research befor buying just any computer. i have a Specialized Hardrock Comp Disc mountain bike. it has a heavy duty frame thats made of thick squared tubing. because of this it was alittle hard to insatll the magnets and have them read properly due to the distance, they need to be pretty close. but im a clever dude and rigged it up perfect. not sure if the MPH is accurate yet but i will have that tested soon also. they cadence feature is cool too. it measures your pedal RPM, for some its worth having for road use but off road its just another extra sometimes used. so, the degree of difficulty of self install was the only reason i gave this product a 4 which is more like a 4.5 out of 5. well worth the money. buy it and have a pro install it if you can and tell them you got it as a gift. they get all testy when you dont buy there over priced models

3 Stars Good Value
The only thing I have to compare this to is a cheapy $8 one I had from Kmart many years ago. This Sigma 1606L has many more features including cadence which I use often. The data it collects per trip ( average speed, average cadence, max speed, trip time, trip distance) is saved so I can transfer it to a spreadsheet to track how I’m doing. It’s easy to remove from it’s base using a bayonet style attachment, which I have placed on the handlebar stem. I was not impressed when I saw how the parts mount to the bike, thin rubber O-rings loop around sensor and fork, or baseplate and stem to stay in place, but after 1000 miles on streets and bike paths everything has held together. It always shows current speed plus any other selected single feature, like cadence or time.

Why only 3 stars?

1) Lacks a scan feature, so I must push a button repeatedly to get to view the function I want. An auto scan feature would allow me to keep my hands on the grips where they belong.

2) The wiring is somewhat flimsy. Small gauge wire is subject to breaking if put under any stress.

3) Speed readout shows only the closest half mile interval, doesn’t show tenths. For example, it reads either 12.0 MPH or 12.5 MPH missing 12.1, 12.2,etc.

I am actually very happy with this nicely designed and low cost unit. Mine came with a second mounting for a second bike, data for which it tracks separately. After 8 months of use over many miles, it has served me well.

5 Stars Been using sigma for 7+ years…
I’ve used the Sigma 1600L and its predecessor the 1600. Sigma makes a great computer in the 1600 series. They keep track of two bikes wheels (thus two bikes) as well as two odometers and a combined odometer. Its great if you have two bikes because all you need is an extra mount and you are set. the cadence feature is an easy add-on, and not available in most computers at this prices. It has all the regular stuff… like actual and average speed, trip computers, etc.

5 Stars Great Unit!!!!!!!
I not only use this on my bicycle but adapted it to my motorcycle! Yep- it works great for that too! Easy to use, reliable, easy to read, easy to install. I would recommend it to anyone.

4 Stars Good Value, Easy to Use
Like the product…easy to read screen. Easy to go through the different functions. Easy to install.

Light works well but I wish it stayed on longer…(only for 3 seconds I believe). The buttons aren’t labeled at all so you have to get use to what button works for what.

5 Stars Very Good-amazing customer service too.
I too was surprised by the size and now that it’s warmed up a bit in Ohio took it out for a daylight trial. It’s really not impossible for my older eyes to read without glasses at all. But the icons denoting the current display…fahgeddaboutit. Besides, I have the order memorized so if I see a black blob in the third space, then hey, there’s my distance…which is again, legible.

The bike shop installed it for me but it’s true the instructions may leave one wanting. It seems like the shop set it for the right size tire, but the distance was too low my first ride. I upped it and now it reads correctly. I love the one finger ‘click-through’ method it offers. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to customize which of the 8 readings we wanted at the top in large fonts!!? (I’d prefer distance in the ‘big screen’. It has a pretty large sensor zone attached to the front fork and honestly, mine is only at the 1/4″ distance from it when the spoke with the magnet on it is a hair widths from being past it. The center of the sensor zone or the entire sensor piece, doesn’t need to be 5mm, just at some point of the magnet passing the thing, it should come fairly close. And even though the sensor’s only about an inch wide, that much movement of a spoke, (tire rotation), changes the distance a lot.

I didn’t find programming it that hard at all. Pita a bit, but not hard. But am concerned about how hard it is to remove from the bracket….but that may change soon. While wanting to relocate it to a different bar space this morning, I loosened the nut and pull apart. The end of the stiff plastic strap broke right off. Called cust service via their 800# on their site, (couldn’t find it on the instuction paper), and a human answered in Colorado after only a one time button push for dept. choice.

I told him I’m sorry, but haven’t registered it yet. Just installed it but purchased Jan 09. He’s pleasantly said, ‘No problem at all, those stiffer type straps have been replaced on the newer made models and I’ll send out the whole bracket assembly so you’ll be good to go.’ Now, you can’t beat that. Japanese company through and through, but the N. American office is really there for ya when you need them…and that’s what counts.

3 Stars Distance
Front fork speed sensor ?Transmission distance up to 70cm – 27 inches, which I got my set a 27″ and still flashing which mean the two sensors are too far apart. My handlebar is set more than the 27″ limit, so this keep flashing, but seem to work for now.

5 Stars AWESOME!
this is a great computer! super easy to install and calibrate to your bike.(took me 10 minutes) i’ve used it a few times this winter, and it is extremely accurate and easy to use. has all the functions you will need with the exception of cadence. love the fact that it’s wireless too! no wires to detract from the look of my carbon fork. looking forward to many miles ofsatisfaction from this computer.a great value for the $$!

4 Stars pleased but
good product mounts could be better batteries were all but dead on arrival still a good choice

2 Stars it’s a headache to set up
This item is often installed by bike shops who are presumably familiar with the product. I found the microscopic instructions to be both hard to read and hard to understand.

After I finally figured out that the item did not work locating the warranty claim information in the multi-language multi-page newspaper sized tissue paper enclosure was an additional frustration.

This item may be no worse than others but for a guy who made it through graduate school wading through the printed matter kicked my butt.
