Sports reviews of SIGMA BC1606L CADENCE DTS Double Wireless Bicycle Speedometer

Customer Review: Great for a folding bike
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This works near flawlessly on my Dahon Speed TR folding bike. This is a smaller bike so there are no transmitting distance issues. I will try this on my 29 incher bike and report back if there are any issues. Other reviews stated that the sensors move when hitting bumps if secured using the rubber holders. This hasn't been a problem for me but I can see the potential so I bought some good quality ties and am going to use tye wraps to hold the sensors more securely. There are several ties included but they are low quality. I pack the bike in a suite case for travel so the rubber mounts are good for ease of taking it on and off to prevent damage but tye wraps can be easily cut with a nail clipper so I will just pack some extra ties. Scrolling through the menu is actually easier than with my wired Cateye Strada computer on my other bike. The Sigma has more than one button for funtions so there is less scrolling. Installing this is easy. Others report issues getting the sensor close enough to the magnet. The Sigma mount design made it easier to adjust the distance than the Cateye Strada so I cant complain. For the price I paid this is an excellent computer. I paid $43 for mine through Amazon and noticed it is now listed for $80. If it goes on sale again I would say you cant go wrong. If I paid $80 I would probably knock a couple stars off knowing that for a few extra dollars you can get a better overall rated computer.

Description of SIGMA BC1606L CADENCE DTS Double Wireless Bicycle Speedometer

The BC 1606L DTS CADENCE wireless is for dedicated cyclists. This is one of the best deals available for a DOUBLE WIRELESS (Speed & Cadence) computer. DTS stands for digital transmission system (speed and cadence), providing zero cross talk with other computers and ensuring that the data on the computer is your own. The backlight gives optimal readability of this information even in the dark. An integrated storage chip prevents the loss of set values during battery change as features such trip section counter, timer, and second wheel size are programmable. With the wireless receiver integrated into the bike computer, it can be mounted on your stem or bars.16 Functions Wireless Speed & Cadence: speed, avg speed, max speed, speed comparison, trip distance, total distance bike 1, total distance bike 2, total distance bike 1 + 2, clock, ride time, low battery indicator, two bike programmable, total ride time bike 1, total ride time bike 2, total ride time bike 1+ 2, memory back up function, wireless cadence, average cadence, programmable trip segment, programmable timer.
Sigma Sport's BC 1606L Wireless Computer with Cadence is the top model for riders who demand precision from each turn of the crank. This version of the BC 1606L DTS wireless succeeds in this not only by providing a better overview of the essential information during a ride by hiding the total accumulated functions in lieu of specific data points, but through its backlit readout that delivers optimal readability of information even in the dark. In addition, an integrated storage chip prevents the loss of set values during battery change as features such trip section counter, timer, and second wheel size are programmable. The set is equipped with a digital radio sensor with the receiver integrated into the bike computer. But the thing that sets this unit apart is the simultaneous transmission of speed data from the front wheel and cadence data from the turning on the cranks. Comparing these two the handlebar mounted computer is able to output more accurate data that is crucial to the training schedule of serious riders.

Digital Transmission System (DTS) Explained
With 2-channel radio transmission (km/h and pedal frequency) and 100% digital encoding without data loss, the DTS system guarantees 100% data security of current speed and pedal frequency values during wireless reception. It does this by calculating all relevant data, encoding it and transmitting it in data packets to the integrated receiver in the bike computer. Disturbances such as power lines or mobile phones are no longer a problem as transmission is carried out over the so-called low frequency. A double security system also ensures that only the data packets from your own transmitter are evaluated by the receiver. This means that group rides are no problem.

A further security measure is redundant data transmission so that no data can be lost. The size and quality of the receiver has also been optimized by a specially developed Sigma chip (ASIC) and integrated into the bike computer which also saves on battery life.
