Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

[Stevec047]

according to https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/sports-recreation/cycling/edge-1000/prod134491.html the bluetooth is only for garmin connect, sensors use ANT+.

It should work with Strava on an android phone.

Yeah I did read that. To be honest it looks like a re branded version I have seen online for £50. My phone is ant+ comparable and having tested a unbranded version a college had it seemed to pair with the phone easily. Will see and report back.

Edge 500 does not have bluetooth, don't think the 510 does either

Have used memory map in the past.

For offline planning.

Now more than happy with OSM and Basecamp

but may be of interest to some:

Well if you like a bargain and don't mind something slightly obscure...

Well I bought one. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get out since it arrived on Monday, this weekend I hope. I was impressed by the Chain Reaction goodie bag that came with it including multi tool and pedal spanner

Had the email just now.

Bought a Tacx Smart Trainer down from £199 to £145 with BC discount. Fully compatible with Zwift and Bkool as it automatically adjusts resistance with the 'game'.

That's two trainers now !!!

Bargain if you're in the market for a CX -

I don't know these particular shorts but there is a good review quoted and I trust Spa.

As it says in the blurb it can be handy to have a stock of cheaper less highly specced shorts for less demanding rides. I have a big stock of £7 halfords wonders i bought years ago.

Thanks for the heads up on this . Ordered one Thursday came today . I`m normally an XL in in most standard cycling stuff and the XL in the jacket was fine .
Seems good and ideal for late evenings/early mornings to prevent a chill .
