Customer Reviews

Good value
Good quality kit which is nice and easy to fit and set up, once I'd found how to change the language from German! I have used it for a few weeks now and it has had no problems at all. I'd had a look at a few Cateye and Trek computers, but there's not much competition from them at the £19.99 price of this, features wise. It tells you a good deal of trip info and stores total mileage and hours automatically, plus it has a training aid to show you how your current speed matches your average speed. Good quality, nice and easy to use and read and very good value. I'm very happy with it. NEW October 2008: Still working well, no faults at all, still very happy with it after 8 months. Have dropped it onto concrete a few times now, from about 4 feet, with no ill effects. Doesn't get wet often, but when it has there have been no problems. An older version I had from Sigma didn't like the rain at all. This seems ok.

Works as claimed
Just started cycling to work. Had been using my watch to time how long it was taking. Thought for the money this looked useful. Was initially doubtful as to whether I would get this to work, but it worked first time and immedietely. On the Sigma website there is a video showing you how to set this up. Even though it's not difficult to put on your bike it's always reasurring to see someone else do it, (if only they did this for flat pack furniture!).

There seems to be a spare rubber band which threw me at first. Also, you'll need a knife or sharp instrument to lift the rubber seal on the sender unit in order to get the rubber band in. Then replace the seal. I wasn't sure how to do this at first as was worried about damaging the seal. In the manual there's a 2nd picture showing the magnet being attatched to the spoke. It looked like some sort of plastic strip was being used. God only knows what that's about. Just ignore that and follow the first diagram. Just a shame they don't have a text explanation with the diagrams in the manual. Also, I wish they'd seperated the different languges rather than have a all 5 together. I found it easier and quicker to highlight the English text. Especially for later reference. A useful feature is that the timer stops after approx 5 secs of inativity. In this way you're not penalised for traffic holdups.

Anyway, for the money it works exactly as stated and I would recommend it. One thing to note, you have to reset the times after every trip. I'd forgotten to do so a couple of times only to find the times had been added to the prvious trip.

Great piece of kit
Bought this computer for £22 and what a great deal - had it set up from taking it out of the box within a couple of minutes and it works great.

If you're worried whether it's waterproof enough, don't be: mine did a full machine wash cycle the other day and you wouldn't know - think thats proof enough!
