An excellent bike computer | |
| Rating: |  |
| This is a great wireless bike computer from Sigma. The display is large and easy to read and displays a lot of information. I really like that there are no buttons on the front of the device (instead, they're on the top and bottom). The computer detects when the bike is moved and you don't have to press a "Start" button (like you do for Sigma 1606 for example). It has a hiking mode, although I haven't used that mode yet. The only drawback is that there's interference with my L&M Stella light. Even though the radio signal is supposed to be encoded, when the light is on and within 12 inches or so, the bike computer fails to connect with the sensor. I have to install the light on my helmet if I want to have them both on in the same time. That and the high price are the only 2 negatives I can think of. | |

Superb computer | |

| This is a superb computer and one of the few that includes an altitude function...and what an altitude function! Quite accurate, easy to read, simple to reset before a ride, many useful functions. The HRM function is simple, not too many features, but just enough. Like any wireless product, it'll use up batteries fairly rapidly. Fortunately, they're all the same for the computer, transmitter, and HRM strap. Another reviewer commented on bike lights interfering. This is a problem common to nearly all wireless computers used with the new high-power bike lights with digital power supplies. The power supplies radiate weak RF signals that the sensitive transmitter picks up. The solution is to move the power supply away from the computer. I had interference problems with my MiNewt X2 until I moved the power supply off the stem to the down tube. Now it works perfectly! | |

Seems to do it all. | |

| This being my first bike computer, I really don't have much to compare it to, but it seems to do everything it claims. The installation was somewhat odd, but I'm pretty unmechanical so that might have factored in to it. Beware: the magnet fastener is easy to strip so make sure you're driving it in at the proper angle. I ended up having to take mine back to REI and purchasing another magnet. Handle gingerly! Data seems accurate and the display is easy to read. I'm still getting used to what button provides what display but that will come. All in all, pretty cool but I really don't think it's worth [$] If it was priced at [$] it would be money well spent. | |

A quality computer | |
| Rating: | |
| I love the HRM function and the fact that it is easy to read and reset. BUT and a big but if you live anywhere near altitude. The altimeter only goes to 9,999', which is useless living in Colorado and riding/hiking/skiing the mountains. The only saving grace is that even though it only goes that high it still continues to add altitiude even though the altimeter only shows 9,999'. But to get a decent one other than this you have to spend [$] Good quality for the price. | |

I love it... | |

| I love this computer so much I bought two. The altitude feature is the most accurate of several brands I have tried. Most of the others read way too high. Heart rate monitor never jumps around or gives rediculous readings! The only aspect I don't like is the o-ring mounting system for the speed sensor. I had to replace a sensor because it moved around and hit a spoke. | |

This computer rocks | |

| This computer rocks. I've ridden the RAMROD numerous times and I wish I had it for the training. If you mount per the instructions in the manual you will have no problems. Can enter your cumulative miles - handy feature if you have already rolled over a couple of computers. It some time to figure out the instructions but after that it will be pure joy. | |

Worth Every Penny | |

| Definitely worth the money for serious training for endurance or road races. Love the altimeter feature, only gripe is the need to reset the altimeter to home altitude for every ride. Great accuracy otherwise. | |

Not for Mountain Biking | |
| Rating: |  |
| I was quite excited to try the HR monitor on a Mtn bike ride. Directions to attach the bike computer to the bike were OK (not easy - but not too bad.) However after attaching and riding, I couldn't get the MPH to show. I reviewed all the trouble shooting and didn't find anything, then in one area of a seperate piece of paper I found the key. The transmitter on the wheel must be within 45 cm (17 in) of the computer on the stem/handlebar. Well, anyone who has a front shock and decent set up on their Mtn Bike will find that this distance is too short. Other Sigma sensors are ok with 70cm which would be fine for mtn bikes. However, the 2006 MHR only works at 45 cm distance - and I would say it doesn't quite work at that distance. The real range is more like 35 cm. Anyway - this appears to be cool computer for road riders, but avoid this computer if you are a mountain bikier. | |

unusable | |
| Rating: |  |
| I purchased the Sigma Sport BC 2006 based primarily on the range of functions available. Unfortunately the sensor/transmitter is mounted on the spoke side of the left fork using an O ring that is held on by 2 small "lips". One of the lips curls towards the spokes leaving no gap between the sensor and the magnet. If the sensor is mounted on the outside of the fork, then the pickup becomes unreliable. It could be easily redesigned to accommodate small gaps like that found on many new road bikes with forks that curve inward toward the spokes. | |

It has it's downs.. | |
| Rating: |  |
| This is a pretty good unit overall. I was worried about the speed sensor fitting on my aero fork, but after installing it, it looks as if it was made for it. It stays put even on rough roads, the display is easily readable, buttons are easily accessible, the auto wake-up when the bike is moved is a good feature, and it has a temperature reading. Now, the bad parts as far as my experience.. 1)Loosing communication between the sensor and computer: Sometimes the comp won't pick up the speed when I first start riding and I have to detach the comp from the mount and reattach. And it has happened a number of times even after I've been riding for awhile for whatever reason. Sometimes it picks up on it's own again after a few seconds, but sometimes not. I'm not sure if pressing buttons while it's mounted/unmounted fixes it or not. I don't know if it's the sensor or the comp (pressing the button on the sensor doesn't fix the problem). I just try everything. 2) The HR isnt always accurate. I've seen it show my max HR as 212 when I know it hadn't gotten even close to 175. The contacts between the strap sensor and my skin was always good, so that wasn't the issue. I've replaced all the batteries and still have these problems once in a while. But it does work way more often than it has problems. I'm not sure if I'm going to replace it with the same model or eventually go for the pricey Garmin 705. | |
