Inop Computer leads to "Bike Math"

There has been something wrong with my Sigma 1909 cyclometer since the season (finally) thawed out. It cost me $90 at the beginning of last season. The head unit receives cadence and HR, but no signal from the wheel sensor, so no speed or distance. Also, while receiving HR, it is not calculating calories burned.

It might just need new batteries, or maybe a new sensor on the wheel/fork. So I'm thinking of cutting my losses and getting a Garmin 510.

That makes sense, right?

    I'm a big fan of Sigmas because I can find them cheap ($15-30 or so) and plan to replace them often. Sometimes they go bad early and unexpectedly, but more often they do burn through batteries super quick. One time I lost speed and distance readings and it turned out the little magnet fell out of the spoke holder!

    I think you'd be much happier with the Edge 510 :)
