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)
