Comments about SIGMA SPORT BC1909 STS Heart Rate / Cadence Computer - Wireless:
The first unit was functioning perfectly during set up at home. Unfortunately the screen scrambled and the unit locked up within the first mile of the ride.
Rei replaced the unit as expected, however, found that the replacement unit was defective out of the box. The top silver bezel holding the buttons was partially unglued from the unit and one of the buttons had fallen out.
The heart rate / cadence/ wireless functions are really attractive, but having two units fail consecutively is unacceptable. Will be looking for anything but Sigma Sport products.

Comments about SIGMA SPORT BC1909 STS Heart Rate / Cadence Computer - Wireless:
This is my third brand of computer and by far the best one I have had. It has worked flawlessly for one and a half years and over 8000 miles.I love the large display and multiple lines of information, so you dont have to worry about pushing buttons will riding.I have only one reason I didnt give it five stars,and that is the mount for the computer. It is a twist on and off. The computer can get knocked off the mount with what seams to me to be a small hit from the hand or knee. It is not good when your computer flys off the mount and hits the asphalt, which happened to mine,and broke the crome trim and rubber buttons off the bottom.I called Sigma talked to Randy and told him what happened to my computer. He sent me a new one, said it was covered under warranty.I solved the problem of the computer mount by putting a small piece of velcro on the bottom of the computer and top of mount.Easy solution and great computer.

Comments about SIGMA SPORT BC1909 STS Heart Rate / Cadence Computer - Wireless:
The only complain I have is the durability. Everything else works fine. Still lack of durability brings this down to a two star product. Had mine for 2 months all the buttons broke, and actually now that i think about my local bike shops(all 4 of them ) said to stay away from sigma there a disappointing product. Try your luck but REI wont take it back with missing buttons. I would go for the Garmin products instead.

Comments about SIGMA SPORT BC1909 STS Heart Rate / Cadence Computer - Wireless:
I don't think there's a triple wireless computer w/ included heart monitor anywhere close, and it's easier than the Cateye V3 even if it did cost as much. Great, too, that for indoor training it picks up the sensor signal on a rear wheel mount (I don't think the REI page notes this). At 1st the 4-button design seemed complex, but in practice it's fast & safe while riding - you only use 2 buttons (the others are for settings), and there's way less scrolling through functions this way.
One reviewer wisely noted it can flip out of the mount on a good bump. I found that out the hard way, but the fix was easy: Lay two 1' x 1/8' strips of masking tape along the edge of the circular protrusion on the computer's bottom, not covering up the mounting tabs. This adds just the right extra diameter and stick so the computer will stay put. One other thought is to cut a screen-protector film on the display, in case of spills. The Sigma training log software is another nice extra, but as I didn't buy the USB dock I guess you could manually enter data from any bike computer.
After 2,000 + miles, I'd buy this again in a moment.

Comments about SIGMA SPORT BC1909 STS Heart Rate / Cadence Computer - Wireless:
I bought this unit to upgrade from my basic computer to focus on my cadence and heart rate. This is an entry level unit that is relatively inexpensive, but provides accurate information. For those riders wanting a computer that have either limited funds or experience, this is a good model to start with at a very competitive price.

Comments about SIGMA SPORT BC1909 STS Heart Rate / Cadence Computer - Wireless:
I have had this comp for a year. I really like the functions, particularly heart rate. However, this is not a good computer for mountain biking - it is far too fragile and it comes out of its mount easy. Once I had to back track several miles to find it when it popped out after a fall. Also, the silver bezel along the top has lifted up and broken which has lead to a lost button. The cadence sensor also has broken off my bike after a branch caught in my pedals.

I installed the computer myself and it took me about an hour. It is fairly easy to install and easy to set-up. I have had it for a couple of months and used it to ride ~250 miles. Everything works perfectly and I have had not a single issue. I am very happy with my purchase.

Great Buy...But be warned sigma has a high rate of return. The first unit i bought the heart rate monitor would not register. everything else worked fine, but this was a big inconvenience. Returned it got a new one worked great. Everything is very accurate including cadence and heart rate. keeps good speed and doesn't pick up any interference. Would have gave it a 5star but the inconvenience of returning it brings it down to a 4star. [...]

This is a good product. I was able to mount the speed sensor on the back wheel for indoor training purposes and it works great. I have had not problems, easy to set-up and manage.
