I buy the wired, less expensive ones that only supply the basics (Speed, Ave. Speed, ODO, Trip ODO, Time)and then buy a new one when a wire breaks or the battery dies. This model is a good one except it doesn't calculate average speed (which is think is dumb). I installed it on my beater bike and am purchasing another one to install on my primary bike. It will be a Sigma. I like Sigma and they're intuitive to use. 4 stars The following review received 2 helpful votes out of 7 total votes: Review Date: 2007-03-31 "Great" Recieved the computer very quickly. Was able to install and enjoy immediately. This is the second sigma bike computer we have used! 4 stars The following review received 2 helpful votes out of 2 total votes: Review Date: 2007-11-17 "Can't beat it for the price" I bought this a few months ago and used it for about a month before it broke. I think the break was my fault. When I installed it I probably didn't leave enough slack, and during one of my mountain bike rides the wire pulled out of the base. I've since replaced it with a wireless cateye. Review Date: 2008-09-30 "SIGMA BC506 5-Function Wired Bike Speedometer" I just recently purchased the meter and put it on my motorized bike. Some of the meters that I looked at had too many functions or too many that I wasn't interested in. Five is manageable. I'm mainly interested in the time of day, speed, trip and total miles. I mounted it very close to the center of my handlebars so that I could look at it with little head or eye movement. The type font is large enough for me to see easily. Probably the only negative comment that I have is that the instructions weren't easy to understand. I like easy because I don't want to spend a lot of time figuring it out. 4 stars Review Date: 2008-10-31 "works great" Once you get by the confusing instructions, you have a item that does what it says it does. The 42mm band did break the first day, but you can easily replace it with a rubber band. 5 stars | |
