Review on 🔋 Enhance Your Cycling Performance with the Sigma BC 5.16 Wired Bike Computer by Edgar Gomez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like the simplicity of this unit.

I have four bikes and three of them have an old Sigma model similar to this one. All I need is something that displays speed, tracks distance traveled, and has an odometer. I don't need to know how much CO2 or fuel I've saved, I just don't care. It's easy to set up and to be more specific I always use the wheel size setting (WS) to set the wheel diameter. Tires. It's a simple step: just ride the bike down the driveway and mark the start (I use the valve stem as a "marker") and where it ends with a chalk line. Then simply measure the distance in mm with a metric tape measure. Enter this number and you will get a very accurate measurement. I use my phone and a fitness app to track my rides and have found that when the app counts down a mile it shows on the speedometer. It is very easy to install. and it was nice to see that the pickup on the fork came with spacers to close the gap between the pickup and the magnet on the spoke. I also like that there is only one battery compared to wireless devices that have two batteries. With my other Sigma devices I see a battery life of often well over a year.

Pros
  • Sports and outdoor activities
Cons
  • Contemporary
