Hi Bikers, Looking for a good bike computer with cadence for my new road bike. Have used a Cateye Astrale for 4 years, no problems really except that it doesn't like rain and the mileage cannot be preprogrammed at battery change. Am considering the new Sigma 1600, looks good with a better $ than the newer astrale 8. Does anybody have any suggestions/recommendations? Cheers, P
Hi Paulie I have an Astrale and an Echo F2. The Echo works great except you can't move the display around like the Astrale. I prefer the cadence in larger size numerals. The Echos are about the same price and might be worth a look at though.
I have a Sigma 1200 (you have to buy an attachment (about $16.00) to display cadence) it's been great. I got caught in a total downpour not long ago and it didn't miss a heart beat. It's also packed with useful features.
My only gripe, and it's a small one, would be that it doesn't have a sleep function to maximise battery life but other than that it's great!
John

John, I have the 1200 too. How much battery lif are you gettig out of yours? Mine is atrocious, around 6 months.
