Sigma Bike Computer BC 16.12, black, 06120 (Equipment)

Customer Review

With regard to the functions and appearance of the Sigma bike computer BC met all my expectations 16:12. Speed, distance, top speed, temperature, backlight, etc ... everything your heart desires. I run him additionally with the cadence sensor to satisfy my addiction statistics. Nevertheless, also this unit, or its accessories has some drawbacks.

Consider first the device, on which four buttons, two above and two next to each other are mounted side by side down. I think that is convenient for not particularly insofar as you are traveling with thick gloves on cold days. In addition, one would have each left button can also place small and elsewhere as they are anyway not need while driving. Instead, the two right-hand buttons to place large and easy to operate at the top and bottom. So it was always at the previouse generation of Sigma bicycle computer, but unfortunately it is this line not remained faithful.

The next problem arises when the cable unit with sensor. I do not want to use the radio sensors, since I have no desire to change the batteries monthly aware. So I had decided specifically for cable-based variant. Unfortunately, the cable is too short, so it is hard to bring it to the rear for use without separate extension. So you is almost always dependent on the front wheel. Unfortunately, here the mounting is conceivable difficult due to disc brakes and wide forks (spring systems). Sigma should urgently provide reasonable sensor units, in which you can accurately adjust the distance between the magnet and receiver. Something similar but not perfect, they offer already on for the cadence sensor. We would like you with a kind of screw or plug-in modular system, in which you can adjust to the millimeter?

I've got it right, but the magnet and receiver are really the absolute limit of the transfer, which is why I have to probably decrease with decreasing field strength of the magnet by provisional measures the distance anyway. In summary, the BC 16:12 is a great bike computer with many functions. With the possibilities of mounting Sigma must also be much more flexible.
