Price Paid:  $30.00 at Online

Favorite Ride:
Pspct Park

Bike Setup:
Old La Raza compact 853 with Chorus Ergos.

Summary:
Installed fine, setup is fine, cadence works fine. The buttons and screen selection make zero sense, very unintuitive. This computer does what it says it does, but is nowhere near as friendly to use as say a Specialized or a Cateye.

Strengths:
Many many features, backlight, rubber o-ring mounting.

Weaknesses:
User interface is poor. Difficult to reset data easily.

Similar Products Used:
Cateye, Specialized

Price Paid:  $30.00 at nashbar.com

Favorite Ride:
at least 100 miles

Bike Setup:
Does anyone care to read about the minute details of someone else's bike?

Summary:
Had the old school version which worked well for years (still does). I upgraded to this one because of the backlight, and the auto detect feature which automatically changes the data to your second bike upon mounting. Now I don't have to remember to pull out a pen and poke a pin sized button to change to another bike setting. Other nice features include 3 contrast settings and average cadence. I've found Sigmas to be reliable. It is initally difficult to program since the instructions are small and bent on printing in as many different languages as possible. Setup is easy with the O rings, which are durable. The mount is versatile; I can mount it on my aerobar without using an aerobar computer kit. Display is easy to read, it's accurate, and weatherproof. Cadence sensor doesn't work well with certain crank arms. Works great with Shimano, but not with Truvativ. It would be nice if the speed increments were .1 instead of .5. Also, it is too easy to enter setup mode if you happen to push both buttons at the same time. Haven't lost any data, but it sure is annoying when it happens. Otherwise, the computer is jam packed with features and is a great value.

Strengths:
Has every function (except heart rate)
Reliable
Accurate
Versatile
Auto detect between different bikes

Weaknesses:
Cadence sensor doesn't work well with all cranks
Speed increments of .5
Too easy to enter set up mode accidentally

Similar Products Used:
Previous generation Sigmas
Cateye Astrale (mount cracks)
Cateye Cordless (terrible)
Performance (great but they stopped makin em)
Vetta (no success with these)
