Oh ok ok. I didn't know that. It should be pretty accurate then.

btw, you could try getting a Garmin GPS, cost's around 8K onwards and very very accurate.

or we mean that our bikes are like cycles!! lolzzzzz....

hey nice info buddy! gr8 work

To measure the wheel perimeter, there are 2 ways,
First ride the bike check the air pressure to what u normally use. Bring the tyre pressure to your normal riding condition (maybe ride for some kms to make it your actual conditions, i.e if you want it to be really really accurate )
1. Take a thread and wrap around the rolling surface of the tyre, meausre the length of the thread.
2. Put a mark with chalk on the road & tyre, where the tyre & road meets, move the bike with you on it till the chalk mark on the tyre completes on rotation and mark that point. Measure the distance between the two points on the road

Any authorized dealers in Mumbai or Ahmedabad?

How much did u get that for and from where moonraker?

@lord moonraker: Dude, i just called up this Kapil Suri guy, he informed me that the BC 1600 costs 2700 bucks & the BC 800 costs 1345 bucks. I think he istrying to pull a fast one on me. Could you please help me out??

Guys, any comments, any help??

hi all I have imported all my cyclometers.
1) BC1600 1300/- from UK, ordered online from sigmasport.co.uk to a UK address
2) CatEye Mity 8 - 27$ 1200/-(1$ @ Rs44) REI, Troy, Michigan, USA
3) CatEye Enduro 8 - 30$ Rs 1300/- REI, Troy, Michigan, USA

Enduro 8 is same as Mity 8 difference is that the wires are heavy duty
BC1600 costs 28$ (Rs.1250/-)at that shop

It would be cheapest to get some one who is coming from USA or UK to buy it for you.

The indian distributor will charge a premium as he has no competition and the demand is high

Hi all,
I tested out the Mity 8 and set the perimeter to its maximum - 300cm, recorded a 154kph. The tech sheets have shown that its max is 105kph. I was afraid that it would be useless for my bike. I will have to check with my sigma if the results are same in both.

I have put my circumference as 190cms

Limitations compared with my Sigma BC1600 are
1) Tyre circumference is entered in centimeters for CatEye mity 8
while Sigma has in millimeters, which means better precision +/- 1kph
2) the removal mechanism of the console is harder in the mity 8
3) One hand operations are not possible on the Cateye because it has
only 2 buttons and some require to press both buttons (e.g resetting
the trip distance meter). Whereas all the operations on BC1600 with
its 3 buttons enable single hand operations.
5) Larger display for the Cat Eye.
6) More features for the Cat Eye, e.g you can make the Average speed,
Max Speed, Ride Time in the bigger size and make current speed to the
lower part.
7) The reset switch in Cat Eye is a small button on the rear, and can
be more easily pressed than the Sigma, where you have to use a pointed
object.
8) both dont have back lighting for the LCD

Update: In usability and ease of installation, I rate the BC1600 the best.

well i got my bc 800 frmhim and i paid 1345 it depends on the dollar prices its for $28.5 so convert.

Not bad Sunny... thats just approx 100 IRs extra from the regular retail price.

as far as I know BC800 costs only 20$(Rs900/-) and BC1600 28$ (Rs1250)

I am keeping my BC1600 instead of the Cat Eye, BC1600 is better to use and in features, except for the bland looks.
