i just bought the cateye strada cadence cc-rd200 from sun and ski for 39.99 it is wired the speed sensor mounts on the rear tire so no problems with the front forks. nice and neat one cable routing.

Now I'm confused... Sigma BC 1606L is said to have CADENCE. BUT, the MANUAL doesn't say anything about installing sensor/magnet set on the CRANK.

OK, I bought and installed Sigma 1606L. It's quite tricky to put it on a bike with front suspension (like my Giant Cypress). And the manual doesn't explain clearly how to get some measurements. I'm considering to return it to the shop and look into Cateye Strada Cadence (CC-RD200).
How easy is it to remove the Sigma's clip and magnet from the spoke?
Thanks!

so far i like the way it installed. straight forward and easy there was only one set of wires to route so it looks neat. so far i have only rode around the block with it but i am going on a 30+ mile ride in the morning. i will report back with results.

Hmmm...So far the BC 1606L computer and wires sit quite well on the bike, so I don't know. I'll do more test rides with it before I decide if to keep or return the computer.
I had problems with entering WS (Wheel Size) as my tires (Kenda 700x38 Multi-Surface) are not listed in the table. My tires are somewhere in the middle of:
700x35c - 2205
700x40c - 2224
I did some math and put "2219" as WS.
That's all before installing the Cadence sensor/magnet set.

The only solution to keep the computer cable attached to the fork -- with postal tape. See the picture.
Maybe there is a better solution ...
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

so far so good. i went out this morning and cant complain. everything seems to work as it should. the numbers are easy to read and the screens are easy to scroll through. i think it was a good purchase time will tell.
