Hi guys,
Similar topic http://xbhp.com/forum/topic.bike?TOPIC_ID=6417
I own a Sigma Bike Computer (BC1600)

or also called as a Cyclometer. This is basically used by bicycle riders, but since it has a caliberation upto 199kph, we can use it on our bikes.
Functions
1) Current Speed
2) Average Speed
3) Average Speed & Current Speed Comparison (indicates whether current speed is lower,same or higher than the avg speed)
4) Max Speed
5) Ride Time
6) Odometer
7) Dual Bike Memory
8) Trip Up/Down
9) Clock

It consists of
1) a magnet which is fitted on the spokes/alloys
2) a sensor/pick up
3) a holder
4) the bike computer

Fitting:
Very easy to fix up. The magnet is fixed on the alloys ( I lost my magnet and I have used one from a speaker now and it works fine).
The sensor is fixed on the fork using a elastic band.
The holder can be fitted on the handle bar and the wire to the senser routed on the fork.
The computer can be fitted and easily removed since it fits using a push and turn lock mechanism (somthing like a normal bulb)

Price and Models
It cost around Rs 1300/- I got mine from UK.
Newer versions, CatEye Mity 8, a Topeak Panarom V12

The cost range from 20$-30$ with high end versions peaking at 50$

The Topeak Panarom Range http://www.topeak.com/2004/products/computer_lead.html
The Sigma Range of products
http://www.sigmasport.co.uk/store/co...uters_fra.html

My Personal Choices
1. Topeak Panoram V17 ( Very large display)
2. Topeak Panoram V12 (large display)
3. Vetta V100 ( Water Proof)
4. Cat Eye Enduro 8

NOTE: Do not buy a wireless one, the distance is too much for motorcycles

sumeet_great · 11-29-2004, 10:05 AM

hey guys how long will these gadgets works and will they be able to handle rough and all season delhi roads and r they woth it

lord_moonraker · 11-29-2004, 10:22 AM

I have done lots of trips - nearly 15000kms on it.
I usually cover it with a plastic sheet in heavy rains.

Definitely worth for its price 1200/-

Battery should last for 2-3 years

Disadvantage: No LCD back light in this model, difficult to see in the night. This can be solved by fixing an LED with a battery.
