I've had it with my current bike computer. It's been in use for about 1.5 years and I'm ready to throw it out the window.



See above. It's a Sigma 1609 Wireless with Cadence. At first, I loved it. It worked great. But now, it doesn't register speed half the time.

Steps Completed:

1) Replaced the batteries (several times)
2) Checked the alignment of the sensor to the magnet
3) Read instructions multiple times to make sure I'm doing it right.

The computer works slightly better when the cadence feature is not hooked up - which is fine with me at this point.

What's strange, is that it works great on my morning rides, but on the afternoon rides, it's intermittent and only registers maybe 1/4 of my ride. Other Amazon reviewers have noted the same thing.

It gets annoying when you are going for total mileage each week, and you know it's off by a long shot.

Anyhow, got some Amazon credit and am ready to pick up a new computer. What do you recommend and why? Wireless computers are nice, but I often wonder if they are more hassle than the wired. Previously owned a specialized wired computer that lasted for 7 years (perfectly) without replacing the battery.

I will not purchase another Sigma product after this terd.

Suggestions?
