Sigma 1606L Bike Computer Prob
Postby julsian » Tue Sep 11, 2007 12:19 am
Any clues as to what I need to change/adjust on the computer in order to get the average speed working? It always sits on 0.000.
It really is quite bizarre.
Thanks in advance !

Mine is a different brand, shows ride time, but if the timer isn't enabled the average speed doesn't work. It might be something similar in your case.

My 1606L DTS worked fine out of the box, except for the bloody cadence magnet. Praise be to MacGuyver

One of the bloody buttons fell off today


Too late to get hold of the LBS at the time so I've emailed Sigma and I'll have a yarn with Tim tomorrow, fingers crossed.

I'm not sure what sort of quality these things are but by the sound of this it isn't too good.
It is rare and unfortunate to have something come out faulty, they are put through pretty rigourous testing. Hope all works out.
Mitch.
Until next time...

Not impressed, a closer look reveals the buttons to be held in by small moulded lugs on their ends which just press into the housing. Pretty flimsy, the other three Sigmas I've had have been bloody sturdy, surviving plenty of OTBs and other stacks without a whimper. I reckon I might have snagged the edge with a glove as I've hit the light switch

Can't even figure out a MacGyver for it except for a paper clip

Got a call from the GLW at 0755 today, she just got handed a priority paid satchel from Bikecorp with a complete new head unit for the 'puter inside.
That's what I call service.
Now I gotta dig out the manual so I can programme the bloody thing.

When I had a problem with mine, I put in the data on the Sigma website and had a phone cal;l from the Bicycle Corp (Aussie agents fro Sigma) the very next morning. In the end, mine came good, but i have retained their contact details, and will happily look at Sigma for the next computer update.
