 Excellent basic wired cyclocomputer Mar 15, 2007
By Bernard Morey
The BC906 replaced three cheapy Chinese-made cyclocomputers. Two lasted a year and the most recent I gave up on after 3 weeks. I then decided to buy a quality wired cyclocomputer - and the BC906 fitted the bill. I chose wired because I found wireless was affected by my flashing LED headlamp - the flashes were interpreted as speed when the two were adjacent.
I'm very pleased with the BC906 - it's accurate, easy to fit (no tools required), and highly legible. It's easy to set-up although the pictogram-based instruction book is not particularly easy to follow and could be better.
It doesn't have a backlight or ambient temperature - nice-to-have but not essential features. I chose it over a similarly featured and priced Cateye because the BC906 had a larger, clearer display.
Highly recommended.

Good cyclocomputer for recreational riders May 01, 2010

First, since nothing on this page seems to actually list it, these are the "9 functions":
- Total distance (odometer)
- Total time
- Trip distance
- Trip time
- Average speed
- Maximum speed
- Clock
- Current speed
- Comparison of average and current speed
If you're comparing this with the BC1106 11-function computer and getting confused, the two extra "functions" are total distance and total time for a second bike. The BC1606 adds sectional trip distances, a backlight, and cadence measurements. See this page for comparing the rest: http://www.sigmasport.com/en/produkte/bikecomputer/vergleichstabelle/
Overall, it does what it's supposed to and does it well. The numbers are big enough so that they're easy to read on a quick downward glance, and the adjustable-contrast LCD display remains readable in a variety of lighting conditions. There are three buttons, which actually makes the computer more intuitive. Upper left is "Set", upper right is "Reset", and the entire bottom of the device is "Mode". You should only ever need to use the big "Mode" button while riding.
P.S. Note to other reviewers: all bike computers are "difficult to install". That's why you only have to install them once. Like all other cyclocomputers, you'll spend at least 20 minutes trying to loop the wire just right, figure out how each piece actually attaches together, and setting up the computer for your wheel size.

Does it's job Aug 16, 2008
By T. Figueroa
"New Bike Commuter"
I've put a few miles on this and it has been accurate and wasn't really too hard to assemble. Yes, you do have to keep the book in case you change your wheels or your tires and have to reprogram the sizes to get accurate readings, but this really isn't hard nor something surprising. I really like being able to see the average speeds along with how long it took me to go x miles. A good solid product. I even dropped it once with no damage.

Great product for the recreational biker Jun 11, 2007
By David A. Nelson
This is a great addition to anyone that want to keep track of how far and how long they bike. It is easy to install, and since I have installed it has required no adjustments. This unit keeps track of what you want to know. It is also very easy to check while riding.

An obvious addition to your bike Nov 02, 2009
By Luc Saint-Elie
I've used various bike computers, the BC906 is a basic (basic but enough) strong, reliable, easy to set up model.
The BC906 as only one drawback: the manual as been written by some kind of sadistic psychopath. On the other hand, setting it up on the bike is a 5 minutes process (configuring settings requires some zen lessons, but once it's done it's done, so...).
Under all other aspects, the BC906 does want it pretends to do : give basic data about your ride in a very reliable and precise manner (i checked for example the distance with a GPS.. perfect).
Display is easy to read (even if switching from one display set to another while riding is not that easy, because the button is small and requires a strong pressure).
On the reliability department, my BC906 as never had a single problem (I've had numerous problems with wireless computers, the wire seem to be a better solution when it comes to reliability) I even use it under the rain without problem.
For those living in an area where thieves are a problem, the computer is very easy to take away from its dock, and is very small so very easy to carry on..
My conclusion is simple : for a lot of people, and considering its low price, the BC906 is de facto requirement for a new bike. For those with a moderate sport approach it's convenient to have data such as speed, average speed, distance and so on, and even without any sport approach, it's pleasant and useful to know what distance we have covered, to have the time right in front the eyes without needing to try to see the watch on the wrist and so on.
