Where to Buy
Reviews good while it worked...  by: on: 28-Sep 2009 This was great while it worked. Criticisms are: - wire for the cadence counter kept becoming disconnected. - The bit where the computer clips onto the mount broke after about 6 months of use, this was not repairable. Best wired backlit speedometer, good screen, some flaws  by: on: 23-Sep 2009 I bought this speedometer because I wanted a wired speedometer that had a backlight and didn't take up space on the handlebars. Pros - Nice screen - more readable at off angles than my old Cateye Enduro 8 by far. - It's been very reliable - unlike my Cateye Enduro 8 I've never looked down the the speedometer didn't have a reading even though I wasn't moving (I had 2 different Enduro 8's - both at some time had this happen). - The stem mount hasn't had any issue with keeping the speedometer on the stem - I haven't thought about once I put it on. - Once you learn what to do, the backlight works. - It's pretty interesting to be able to reset just one value - mostly it's nice to be able to reset the max speed value without also resetting the trip distance, average speed, etc. Cons - The speedometer annoyingly hides certain info while you're riding and there's no way to get at it. For example, someone asked me how many miles I put on my bike since I bought it - but couldn't say as it wouldn't show me the odometer unless I stopped. - You can't stem mount the speedometer and use the cadence sensor at the same time - the placement of the connector is on the bottom of the speedometer, neither I nor the bike shop mechanic could figure out how we would be able to hook it up. - The backlight functions, but it's more of a PITA than it could be. First you have to press the two left buttons to activate the ability to turn the backlight on. This functionality turns itself off after a certain period of time, assumably to save battery life, so you have to do it every ride. After that, when you hit a button the display lights up - fortunately, you can tap either of the two buttons on the left to light it up without changing what it's displaying. But when the light does come on, it stays on for about 1 second. I haven't timed it, but it turns back off really quickly. There's also no way to simply turn it on and have it stay on, which would have been really nice. This is one of only two wired speedometers I know of that are wired but also have a backlight. The other is made by Topeak. If you want a reliable speedometer with a decent screen and a backlight this is a good choice, as long as either you don't want cadence or are willing to mount it on the handlebars. If that's the case, this is the best wired speedometer I can find that has a backlight. so far so good by: on: 17-Sep 2009 fyi to anyone buying this that wants cadence on there bike and they have an XL frame it didnt reach the area were it was to be mounted right. other wise nice unit love the lite i do alot of nite riding easy to read..... Good unit but something missing  by: on: 20-Aug 2009 This unit works fine and is as easy to set up as other Sigma units, BUT...this is supposed to work for two bikes. You can program and read out info for two bikes however nowhere in the online info does it say that one must purchase another special mounting bracket in order for it to work with another bike. My old Sigma computer used to allow the user to change between Bike 1 and Bike 2. This model does not. Keep this in mind if you plan to alternate between two different bikes.
