RE: Sigma
Thanks Eric!
I'll check with Sigma to see what the spec is on my unit. If it doesn't work
I'll take it back and exchange for a rear unit.
The BC800 is for the front wheel and then you buy a rear wheel mounting kit
that comes with a new bracket, pickup and longer wire. I don't have the
part number with me but I can look it up at home.
I saw the wireless unit when I was going to install it on my old Sprint
last summer. There were two problems that I had with it -
#1 - The max transmit distance was too short to allow me to mount it where
I wanted (remember that on a bicycle your handlebar is almost directly over
the sensor on the fork so it doesn't need much range).
#2 - the max speed that would register was 99 mph. Even though the 800
measures up to the 180ish range, the transmitter reduced that to 99. I
spoke with Sigma at that time (July 98) and they were examining the
possibility of increasing that number on the new wireless unit that was due
out in September - October of 98, but at that point, the change was not a
definite.
I'm not sure if yours will measure to that speed or not, but before you
permanently mount anything, check it out.
And, of course, keep us updated on the results.
