a Cross Country Rider

Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$262.00
Purchased At:
ebay.com
Strengths:
Easy to set up and use. Great software. Durable works in every condition. Holds signal pretty well.
Weaknesses:
price, no cadence sensor and irda adapter included. Price of cadence sensor high too. Data shown is software is slight different than this in polar CS400 - a bit confusing.
I wish there could be one more display line and setting display lines would be totally free (you can set 3 rows and there are some variables for each row). I wish autoscroll setting could be set once and worked all the time.
Similar Products Used:
sigma bc906, sigma 1606DTS+cadence (worst computer I ever used)
Bike Setup:
Simplon Mythos, Reba, Slr Xc, Xtr front and rear, race king 2.2 tires
Bottom Line:
Good but pricy! I would buy it again! I considered CS600 but it was not worth. CS400 has everything! No alternative so far. Sigma rox looks interesting but polar is polar!
I it with additional cadence sensor and it works ok too.
