How to Set up a Sigma Sport Wireless BC 1200 Bike Computer

Bike computers let you log the distance and speed of your rides, helping to monitor your training. Sigma's Sport BC 1200 computer offers 12 functions to help keep your training on track. After you install the computer mount and fork sensor, it's important to properly set the computer. Entering the incorrect wheel size or choosing KPH instead of MPH will give you incorrect readings. Be sure to spin your wheel afterward to set your computer to make sure the sensor works and relays the right information to your screen.
