How long you being using it for Michael? Any use in the rain?
Seems to be mixed reports on the wireless model.

I was riding to school a few months ago, and went to change mode by pushing the button, which caused it to fly off and it was promptly run over! The lack of a locking mechanism got me!

I bought the Sigma as the budget didn't stretch to the Polar CS200cad at the time.

Hmmm. Cleaned the bike on Saturday im prep for ride on Sunday.
Speed sensor unit decides that it doesn't like working anymore.Worked fine last ride. Changed battery and fiddled, but seems to be dead.
See how Ebay warranty works ....

Has any had any of the parts fall of the bike? They're only held on with rubber bands.![]()
I installed one to someone's bike and got into my bits box and grabbed a few cable ties to add to the cadence sensor and the display unit. Still haven't found a way to cable tie the speed sensor on but I'm working on that.
Also, the speed sensor keeps moving and eventually hits the magnet. I've tried double sided tape and a hot glue gun but nothing seems to stick to the rubber pad on the speed sensor unit. My next step is to use magic which I'm not real good with only being a novice.

With the cadence magnet, on one page of the manual it shows two different sizes for it. One a thinner one and another a thicker one. I was wondering if you guys got both the thin and thick magnet or a little riser for it?
Also what's the small thin rectangular piece of plastic for?
