Hmm, never heard of it or seen it before. So that comes stock on the bike that you're getting or is it an addon?
It sounds like a pretty superior product to the trailtech being able to figure in for wheel size.. I'm going to do some more reading to see how it does it.
The Sigma is a bolt on...cheaper & better than a Trail Tech for sure :lol:
I've seen those. They look very cool and appear to be superior. They seem great too because you can take them off the quad and mount it to a mountain bike or take it hiking.
BUT - there's always a but - I've yet to see any with standard measurements. The data displays are metric.
Nothing wrong with metric :P
My email to Sigma
Hello
With any Sigma cyclometer are all readings metric?
I live in the U.S. & they still haven't adopted metric so I was hoping I could use your product on my atv & view the readings in standard, lol
Response

Bert,
how much do these things run. I'd be willing to throw in a few bucks to help get one to test out. :thumbs:
Around $50 a bargain really :lol:
You feel like testing it?
$50.. Heck. Thats nothin. :)
I'd be down to test it for sure!
I'll pitch in for a Sigma Cyclometer

Do you think we could get by w/ the $29.99 model? ???
Going to contact them & see what they think, I'll call tomorrow
cool, let me know what they say Bert.
Sending you a PM too. ;)
I called Sigma & left a voicemail. I'll call tomorrow from work as I may not hear my phone the rest of the day.
Hey guys, i recently bought this
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=143
and then a handle bar mount
http://www.antonline.com/p_010-10267-00-GP_186879.htm
which should fit our handle bars. i will do a review once i get the mount in. Nice thing about GPS is no need to put size of tires and what not. usually alot more accuarte.
take care.
I have that GPS and handle bar mount and I have yet to use it. Good call getting it out now.
dmx434343 - Pretty nice, alitmeter, compass & GPS. Can be used on motorcycle, quad, car etc.....your link said discontinued ???
it is discontinued, but ebay and others have plenty. there is a similar model that is more "up to date" but also more expensive. This one works good, any E Trex series uses the same mount so yeah. I will let you guys know how it works when i get the mount.

I didn't forget I was busy at work :mad: Bunch of goof balls :lol:
:lol: :lol:
It's all good bert. We won't hold it against you TO much. :clap:
I wrote some quick notes while talking to Brooke @ Cigma
~for reliability she recommended a wired unit vs wireless.
~Look at the 506 & 906.
~Use Rare Earth Magnets from Radio Shack. ( they are stonger)
~The 506 has an auto function. ??? I forgot what Brooke said about that
~The 906 has
current speed
avg speed
max speed
trip distance
total distance
~check the accessories if longer cables are needed

I'll look at Cigma's site later...

BC 1106 - $30
BC 906 - $25
BC 506 - $20
I looked @ Cigma's comparison chart & still not sure which would be best.
The cadence function will not work as a Tachometer, it only reads to 200.
The MPH will read to 199 mph so no worries there.
The battery should last a year no problem assuming there's no severe temp conditions. Replacement batteries are 3-5$ @ Wally World. The same battery @ Radio Shack probably cost more.
Its hard a find any negative aspects of the Sigma Cyclometer ???
I'll pick one up this weekend (buy it) we'll go from there.

Hey dmx434343 - How do you like your garmin?
I love the garmin, got to use it twice now since ive had it and this thing saves me big time. We usually go off track into some private property or something so theres not really signs on how to get back and end up getting lost. Well the other day my buddy broke down and rather than guessing the GPS helped us get back in the most effient time. It tells me how long weve been moving and how long stoped, ave speed, top speed, total distance. lots of cool features and its not to big. i love it!
dmx434343 - sounds great, I may have to buy one now
You should get us a good group buy going sponsor coordinator

Its been discussed already. Not sure on the price break on such an inexpensive item. Krandall will be doing some testing in the future & writing a review. I ordered mine last week. With shipping it was $40 I think. I also think this is a great item for the price & everyone should have one :lol: Too bad it didn't have a tach feature....
