Dimensions: Length: 5.5" Width: 4.5" Height: 1.5" Product Description: The Sigma computer for dedicated cyclists. The "L" in the BC1606L is for the "smart" back light. The cadence functions (current and average) provide valuable training data for efficient cycling both on the road and in the woods, and can be turned off completely when not in use. The count down timer is perfect for crits, cross, or racing against the clock. This model is packaged with a 120cm rear harness, ideal for indoor trainers. Handlebar or stem mount. Where to Buy
Reviews awesome computer for the price  by: on: 15-Oct 2009 Just got and installed this computer today. couple things you should know about it: 1) the backlight is like an indiglo watch. when you have it "on" (really "on" means "enabled") whenever you hit a button it lights up for a few seconds. It does not change modes or whatever unless you hit the button again which is nice. 2) other reviewers have rightly noted that the refresh rate is rather slow. If this bothers you, this is not the computer for you. Backlight was more important to me than anything else as I ride a lot after dark. If I don't have a backlight I might as well just not have a computer at all. 3) the computer comes with two wheel sensors; one front wheel and one rear wheel. The front one *always* reads as "Bike 1" and the rear one as "Bike 2." There is no way to change this unless you want to get into disassembly, glue, soldering, etc. There is only one cadence sensor and one wheel magnet in the box so to fully install this on two separate bikes you would need to purchase another cadence sensor and wheel magnet. I didn't have any problems mounting this with the cadence sensor on the stem of my old bike. I suspect that the problems others may have had was because they had large threadless stems; I have an old aluminum quill that is rather slender. You might have to gently bend the connectors to get it to work on a larger stem. (I don't have a whole lot of handlebar real estate on my bike...) that's about it. I'll try to remember to check back and comment on durability in a while, but I suspect that this is being closed out and replaced by a newer product, because of the very low price so by the time I get around to it it may no longer be available. great cyclometer  by: on: 08-Sep 2009 Installation was a snap and the features are great. I bought this unit because I use my bike on an indoor trainer and need the speed from the rear wheel. This unit has everything a serious bicyclist would need on a bike computer. Great bike computer at a good price. by: on: 25-Aug 2009 Well, what can I say? It works and it's relatively cheap. The buttons and overall usage take some getting used to, but the readout is awesome and the backlight comes in handy. I use this on my Trek Y5 and I've put well over a few hundred miles on this computer. Works like a charm. Survives the rain. It looks great compared to some others! On important note: You have to be on the "language" option to EXIT the settings mode. Beat myself to death trying to figure that one out. Good Bike Computer by: on: 16-Aug 2009 The Sigma BC1606L is a very nice bike computer. It comes with both a front and rear mount for the computer and is very easy to assemble without any tools. The instructions are very poor. One thing to look for is that the magnet that is mounted on the front or rear wheel must be faced forward or backward, but not outward of the wheel, to avoid interference. The features are good and very easy to change with the touch of a finger on one of the four buttons. It would have been nice to package a second magnet so that the unit could be more easily used with two bikes. You have to remove the magnet from one wheel and put it on another with this package.
