offset of course by the weight saved by not having heavy sensors, extra batteries etc instead of a light little wire.

Plax - I had the same computer with exactly the same problem... changed all the batteries, even tho the little green light was coming on, but still temperamental.
This was my second wireless computer and both had lasted less than a year... LBS replaced the first one but it took a couple of weeks after they sent it back to the suppliers. I couldn't be bothered to return the Sigma and just replaced it with a wired Cateye Mity 8. So far so good.

I had a sigma wireless and it was awful. Calling it tempramental implies it worked more than it really did. Returned it and was reimbursed, Couldn't operate the switches manually and had to resort to using a pen or similar. Ended up putting a hole through the rubber cover. It was a lottery as to whether it would work or not.
The cat eye I was given for christmas is working a treat (but I haven't sussed out how to set the time tho'

Well, I obviously have a duff 'en then! How much are these Cateye computers? I've made a New Years Resolution not to buy anything else for the bike unless absolutely necessary (I spend more than twice the money I save on Petrol by cycling, on - cycling accessories!!!).
Plax - I once tried a wireless one and it worked indoors and when it was quite warm, but if it was cold it wouldn't work. Depending on your shift, the ambient temperature could be the reason yours works on the way but not on the way home again?
More trouble than they're worth imho. in fact I think it's pretty much unanimous. Don't be afraid to take it back to the shop saying it doesn't work and ask for your money back
