Looking at getting a wireless computer for my Triathlon race bike. Lots of people seem to rate the strada wireless, but i was wondering if any body has the Sigma BC1609?
220 Triathlon magazine rated it highly in there reviews. Also Ribble are doing the the wireless version with wireless cadence for under £50.

Is cadence useful on a race bike?

    I've had a DTS 1606 and they work very well.
    The only thing that I found knocked them out was my Hope LED light on full power.
    Yuo can buy them without the cadence sensor if you don't want to use it.
    I also sell Sigma and I see very few issues with them.

    have always found Sigma very reliable and have the 1106 on the summer bike. I would recommend sigma without any worries.

    I've got a Sigma (not sure which model) which works well. Finding somebody that sells the kit for a second bike wasn't easy.
    There is no secret ingredient...

    I too have a Sigma, I think it's the DTS1606 with Cadance, funnily enough it's form Decathalon also.

    I also have a white 1106 one too which at the moment is spare :wink:
