Installing a Sigma bicycle computer: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

If you're going to be riding your bike after dark, please note that bicycle computers do not generally have lights, and the one model that does requires you to reach out and push a button to turn it on, and it won't stay on for more than a few seconds; not a great idea when you're tooling down the highway at night. Sigma tells us that if the light was on all the time, the battery would go out in about a week. You'll either have to rig up some sort of light that can shine on your computer, or go to the [[I want to make my bike into a streetfighter|streetfighter article]] and look at the companies that sell gauges that are wired into the bike's 12 volt system.

The Sigma brand is recommended because many other computers stop at 100 km/h, which is fine if you never expect to go faster than 62 mph.
