  • Screen look better, but normal ELEMNT battery is great, and more screen estate is great as well as the LED (very useful for turn by turn, funwirh Strava segments).

  • you can but the garmin mount needs to be turned 90 degrees and filed slightly (I used a scalpel to cut away a bit of plastic)

  • LEDs are indeed great. I havent tried with live strava segments yet - thinking it might stress me out

  • Never had a bike computer/GPS, most days struggle to unlock my phone. Picked up a bolt on the weekend, pressed sync>skip>skip>skip>ignore>route>Brighton and a few hours later i was having a beer on the beach without a single on route punishment pass from West Norwood - i like it.

  • What do LED's do?

  • Basically the top horizontal one, when it's time to turn, it light up from left to right repeately if there's a right turn soon (for example), it's noticeably easier for the like of me to see a turn.

    The vertical one, useful to do Strava segment on, during a starred segment, blue in middle is "on track", orange above mean you're ahead, and green below is you're behind.

  • I use the LEDs up the side for heart rate. Those 4 orange or 5 red are horrible to see as I sweat and toil up hills.

  • Thanks broseph

  • Cool.

    So a bit pointless?!

  • Do not want.

  • SRS though, I've found using them to keep at a constant speed very useful. So not just a gimic.

  • @coldharbour that fragment issue was happening to me on the original ELMNT too - it can be worked around by just plugging the thing and lifting the .fit file off.

    Still annoying though!

  • you can programme them to do whatever you want. i thought they would be a bit gimmicky but really like them. great for navigation. i just have the left LEDs for speed relative to average

  • OKOK

    Shut up and take my money 💰

  • Ordered Bolt - touring in Finland next week.

  • Wow, that sounds great. Have fun.

  • I have set up my ELEMNT

    Fingers crossed it will get me home safely.

  • Great success.

  • Took a long time though.

  • Was really wet.

  • So. The LED's for speed when just riding along are pointless?

    I guess they're only OK if you're doing a training partner style workout (which I don't).

    Also calories don't work if no HR strap?!

  • Also calories don't work if no HR strap?!

    Non HR calculated calories are just a number to justify beer no?

  • Powermeter?
