SIGMA BC1706HR DTS Wireless Bicycle Speedometer with Heart Rate Monitor Review

This is my 4th bike computer over the years. The dual bike functionality is brilliant. The addition of pulse monitoring is awesome. The layout of stats is excellent -- I especially like the fact that half are triggered by one button, and half by another. That means that rather than stepping through all 20 (or so), you can access a given stat in 1/2 of the number of button presses.

The only issue is that on my trail bike with the giant, shock-forks there is a lot of metal between the wheel sensor transmitter and the receiver on the handlebars. I do lose the signal on occasion. I suspect that if I spend the time to move the receiver and transmitter around, I can improve reliability. As pointed out by others, the manual sucks. I'm not particularly pleased that all parts are held on by rubber o-rings -- not sure what UV and weather will do to those over time. The o-rings are certainly more adaptive to different diameter mounting situations, but I would much rather screw them down with clamps. Would love a temperature function, but suspect that it is not possible since device is always in direct sunlight.

Negatives aside, bottom-line is this is the best bike comp I've ever owned and would buy again/recommend to friends.

EDIT - 7/2011 followup: it has been two years now. I purchased a 2nd cradle for my street bike. The unit works flawlessly on that bike. I am pretty disappointed with its reliability on the trail bike though. It is basically unusable. I'm also kind of unhappy with the entire wireless concept -- one of my riding buddies' wireless comps clobbers my signal when we get within 5 feet of each other. I'm knocking off 2 stars for these two issues. If you have a street bike and no conflicts I still recommend though.
