Re: RCS+ for Sigma BC800

["Neil Lindsey" <neil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Eric.

I was sure I had read something about a speed restriction on the package of
the RCSplus at the bike shop, but when I called the 1-800 number for Sigma
earlier today, the guy I spoke to suggested that there was no such
restriction, even though I was expecting the opposite.  I think you are
correct, but there is no mention of the limit on Sigma's website
(http://www.sigmasport.com)

I also thought I read on the package of the the BC1200 that it was
speed-restricted as well.  And their website confirms that the speed limit
is 122 mph (ie. too low).  The Sigma guy said he thought their website was
wrong.  I lost quite a bit of confidence in the accuracy of the info I was
getting at this point.  In any event the BC1200 features favour portability
between different bikes which isn't a big deal for me.

To the Sigma guy's credit he did mention the rear wheel sensor kit.  I just
wasn't sure if it was going to be needed.  With my luck the bike shop won't
have it in stock anyway.

Neil
