Sigma BC 1009 cyclocomputer

[yashicamat]

Does anyone have one of these? I'm replacing the Aldi computer on my touring bike with one, but I can't for the life of me work out how to get more than 99.000 miles on the total odo (current mileage on the bike is 4 figures . . ). I presume it's a case of somehow moving the decimal point across, but I have no idea how?

Has anyone else had (and solved!) this problem?

Cheers.

Being German, their , is . and . is , for number separator/marks

99.999 is therefore 99,999 miles/km and being 1 short of a hundred thousand is not an unreasonable max range according to page 51 of this - you should just reset it.

I've got one, the wireless version, cracking computer, had some problems in - temps. but fine otherwise.

I'll have another go, cheers, but I'm fairly sure that the 1009 on my road bike doesn't show any decimal points or commas, though.

Edit: yes, it all makes sense now. Thanks for the advice.

(note to self: when in Germany this year, don't buy a new bike thinking that they are offering it for 1 euro and the number of cents to 1 decimal place).

RTFM may be of assistance.
