Garmin are on a roll. With Garmin’s 2018 cycling products you can take that headline literally as well as metaphorically. At the end of this post are the headline specs of all 3 devices – the old Garmin Edge 520, the new Edge 520 plus and the new Garmin Edge 130. The headline specs are…

It’s going to be an entry-levelish bike computer š We’ve…
This is a short article highlighting some of the wonderful things you can do with Di2. I’m describing what I can do with a 2017 Ultegra R8050 derailleurs and DuraAce R9150 shifters which ARE more capable in the breadth of functionality they support than earlier models. Apologies in advance if you already have Di2 and…
As you can see the Garmin Edge Deal from Amazon today represents the lowest price ever on Amazon in the UK. I could speculate that the Edge 530 is imminent – but I do NOT think that is the case. Maybe Spring 2018 for that one. (Edit: it’s an improved Edge 520 plus version for…
The Best Cycling Computer is looked at here across a range of types of cyclists and what they need their cycling computers for.
It could well be time to put your Vector 2 and Edge 1000 on ebay and get the Visa card out once again. you’ve had them a couple of years and probably deserve a self-treat š Both the new Garmin Vector 3 andĀ new Garmin Edge 1030 are available to pre-order for a September delivery…
Many of Firstbeat’s leading-edge metrics have found their way into the Edge 1030 announced today, 29 August. We have known about them all before but here is a handy guide as to what is new for the Edge products, what the metrics actually mean (via a link) and which need a powermeter to work. First…
The kind people at Bike Bling have shared the details of the Garmin Edge 1030 Cycling Computer for us. There is the usual bundle and non-bundle offerings but we are most interested in the juicy specs. And of course we need to get our hands on one to see if it really lives up to…
Oh. I forget to post the third instalment. Better late than never. this one contains all the juicy bits HEADS UP: Headline Specs and FIRST OPINION here Tether…like that. Just like the Edge 820. aka a hole for a bit of cord to go through (WAHOO have a special mini bolt on their BOLT model…a…
Hey it’s a 1030 Edge box. What does it tell us? Nothing new but here we go again.. 20 hours battery (cool) navigation alerts. Performance metrics (as per F5) Rider to rider messaging – handy when you are cycling along really close to fast moving cars. Group Track – yeah, we knew that HEADS UP:…
OK. the 1030 is going to be released next week. Let’s play the game and publicise the planned leaks. This is clever. You fasten the 1030 onto a battery with the standard Garmin mount connector. Presumably that could also sit between your 1030 and your out-front mount. Maybe. Definately. let’s hope so. HEADS UP: Headline…
These are some unstructured thoughts on the first phase of my move from Garmin EDGE to all things WAHOO. Part of an ongoing series of musingsĀ (see menus above) on ‘The Great Garmin Migration‘. Well, something like that. I’ll write a more formal piece later. There are several striking things that stand out to me and…
GPSRUMORS have had some info posted on the impending Vector 3 and Edge 1030 and the images here are hosted on that site. If they are removed from that site they will disappear fromĀ this siteĀ at the same time. The pod has gone from the Vector 3 though which is a potentially good move. And the…
We’ve obviously had the 920XT replaced by the 935 and the Fenix 3 replaced by the Fenix 5. What about the other Garmin sports watches? The summer gadget drought is upon us. Next upon us will probably be the Edge 1030 and Vector 3 probably announced a few weeks ahead of the INTERBIKE show which…
V1.4 – 17th June 2017 – This is an old version >> – latest version for current month HERE.<< This is my opinion of current & future devices across the GPS running/cycling market. Updates to this will be issued as and when information emerges which may include rumors, although note well that any information provided…
Published: March 2017 WAHOO’s new, smaller-sized, “ELEMNT BOLT” looks great. ELEMNT MINI announced (here) It comes in at pretty much the same size as Garmin’s Edge 520 and Edge 820. Whilst it hasn’t got the same, richĀ feature set as the 820 it nevertheless does have a great feature set. No doubt it hopes to capitalise…
No doubt the Fenix 5 stocks are being carefully packed on pallets to grace the freight holds of our favourite airlines as they race to Europe and North America from Asia. But what about the cycling computers? Garmin are still sorting out the Edge 820. But that’s going to be mostly software/firmware work. Leaving the…
Another day, another test on the new Polar M600. Despite a relatively nice day outside I settled down to watch the newish ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ movie…on the bike, in the shed. It was either that or the ‘Unbearable Lightness of Being’ but I thought I just might understand the former and could pedal a bit…
Here we are SPECIFICALLY looking at INADVERTENTLY discarded workout files. The same softwares can also repair files corrupted for other reasons and/or fix minor errors in the files caused by incorrect manufacturer programming. The Garmin Edge 820 has a sometimes temperamental colour touch screen. Today I pressed SAVE RIDE but it thought I…
