V12 might have a longer transmission distance |
Odd that as i've not had any problems with it. Saying that it has lived on a medium frame and 10omm forks for most of its life.....
I'd say your unit is faulty  |
no I tried another one then I had it replaced and still had the same problem and reading the instuction the max measurement is not enough anyway

don't know what's happened to your sigma - they come with both the o-ring AND a piece of double sided foam tape on the back to tack it down. If yours has just got an o-ring then that's why it's moving - shove a wee bit of foam tape on the back and bob's your uncle

Silly question but did you take the backing tape off the back of the sticky bit??? I just put a Sigma Wirelss with Cadence on my roadie and its mint, yes the computer unit stays still but if all else failsI'll be cable teing it on. Seems to be a great unit, just need to work out all the features. Whats with Timer Up/Down???
